Neil Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 1 minute ago, sexbelowsound said: Decent half without creating many chances. Ayew is the heartbeat and him and Kozak seem to work reasonably well together. Kozak is looking knackered already, he started off brightly and he's now making simple mistakes. I would give him a 20-25min run out tops in 2nd half befor emaking a change. Such an upgrade on Gestede though. I have really enjoyued that first half, more than any football I can remember us playing for a long time. And we're not losing, yet, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes sense to forget this season....then if it comes good by some miracle great. But its never too late to start playing well, next season has to begin somewhere.

Tomaszk Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So so important they don't score early second half. Pardew will rip them a new one for that first half. Confidence we've gained will disappear as soon as the crowd goes. We **** stay at this level now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafan306 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's amazing how the fans will get behind the team when they put a little effort in! Whilst there has been little end product, it's worth remembering that palace have a very tight defence away from home which is surely contributing. Hopefully we can keep it going in the second half.

poitier Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Well played. Veretout needs to get into the game, shame we haven't got much attack wise on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Best first half I've seen from us all season, but really lacking that final ball. We can't switch off at all in the second half, need to pile the pressure on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 No way Kozak lasts much longer. Missed the first 8 mins but one good flick on and he was awful last 10 mins of the half. Ayew is immense, lescott looks solid and gana is bossing it in midfield. Good performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Don't care if I get shot down for this: Lescott has been fantastic! When a player puts in a shift then he deserves praise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not watching this but is Veretout playing badly? Ray Houghton on talksport said he couldn't work out what Veretout was supposed to be doing out there so I assume he is having a bad one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We won't win the game. It's likely we will lose despite how well we are playing. our lack of cutting edge up front absolutely kills us and we are relying on our defence to shut out the opposition for 90 mins which is impossible for them to do. 0-1 palace however it's very pleasing to see us put in a decent performance and show that maybe there is light under Garde in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Can only echo what everyone is saying. The quality isn't there - especially in the final third - but you can see at least this lot were trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Decent enough first half, Kozak played well for the first 30 and then looked tired, he'll probably come off early in 2nd half. At times we have linked up well in attack and just need them to be on the same page. Lescott has been impressive as has the midfield but I'd like to see veretout raise his game. Ayew is a legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
