The Palace Fan 3,036 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Given that Watford have broken down two of the most organised teams last season I don't think this will be the formality that people expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandoEFC 6,927 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Zaha gets raked down the back of his leg, no booking for the Watford player. One minute later Zaha dares to go for the ball in a 50/50 challenge, gets the ball but catches the opponent on the follow through. Gets booked. Don't know how much more of this I or the sport can take. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 15,593 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Capoue should be off for that challenge on Zaha. Zaha's 'foul' shouldn't have even been called a foul. Didn't touch their player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchalkeUK 389 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Not good thinking leaving it to 74 minutes again before coming on - no time to adjust to the PL speed above the \BL, but just enough to show what is possible - com on Roy, use him properly.

He's not match fit. He's had no training during the summer to get fit. He will start when he's fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,036 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I feel we have been unlucky to have three points after three games. Apart from the first 15-20 minutes of the second half I felt our overall play was very good. Unfortunately over the course of the season we will play teams that score goals like Watford did. I don't think anybody would have any complaints if we took a point today. In fact if we played another five minutes I reckon we would have scored a goal. That miss from Joel Ward where I was looked criminal. As for Watford, I hate playing these shit rag teams that are clogging up this league with their dirty stomping studded tackles and getting away with it because the refs are utterly incompetent. I counted five stomps in the first ten minutes. It just strengthens my opinion that we need to attract the best refs from overseas to replace the mediocre bunch we have. All the attention will be '3 in 3 for Watford' now which should work in everybody else's favour. It's really not highlighting the fact they are a very limited side that will run out of steam in the second half of the season for the fourth season running because they cannot get away with their style of play for 38 games.

After 4 they'd won 2 and drawn 2. Year before they were 7th after 10 games which again is a pretty strong start. Even in 2015/16 they were 7th after 18 games. They always seem to have a better first half of the season than second. It's actually as much finishing badly as anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
