[Lawrence]

Poor looking midfield? Ampadu keeps getting a game! + Osborn wingback?

 

[BlairBlade]

Benteke will score a header. Or he will win a header to setup Zaha to score.

Last season was at this match with a few Palace supporters, all of whom loathed Benteke.
Let’s hope they feel the same at the end if this.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Game over then.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Couldn’t make it up anymore far too open and Norwood’s deflection sums season up hopefully get one back

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

How is that a foul on their keeper? Refs in this country are wank

Genuine question to anyone who can tell me, why was it not a penalty?

The keeper followed his punch through and hit Mousset in the head.

If Lundstram was sent off for following through after winning the ball, why aren't keepers penalised for the same?

 

[BlairBlade]

How the fuck did that go in with the amount of our players in the box. The body language before the match told me they'd lost already. Hope im wrong.

Hope you are.

 

[Chilttheblade]

That midfield 3 worries me

COYRAWW

What midfield?

 

[essexblade73]

This ref is boiling my piss

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Just give me a moment to smile, or get off my seat - that is all I ask this game. Also if ref could stop tonguing palace balls for 5 mins that’d be nice

 

[Arcott]

They do understand you need to pass forward and get the ball in the box to score. Why are they unable to take the ball on the half turn? And how much fucking about are we going to do before crossing the ball. Ffs

 

[Drunk blade]

3 points and a practice game for Palace, why do we make it so easy for the other team every week...

 

[YES Blade]

This ref is boiling my piss

The ref? Have you not seen how wank we are? We've got far bigger problems than the ref!

 

[essyoueffsee]

Mousset clearly headbutted the keepers hand. Vicious foul.

 

[Hague Blade]

To be fair, we started ok. The goal was a double deflection.
If anything can go wrong....

I know you're trying to stay positive, but "started OK"? What, we didn't concede till the third minute...

I do like the look of Bogle so far. At least he's getting involved.

 

[FriethBlade]

Does any player throw himself to the ground more than Zaha ?

 

[HeySethUTB]

I like Osborns effort, but he is not very good.

 

[essexblade73]

The ref? Have you not seen how wank we are? We've got far bigger problems than the ref!

He's blowing for anything when a palace player falls down or gets tackled. Different issue to us being shite.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Grealish.. only one though

Been saying this for last few games.letd get some low hard balls in the box.already had 2 or 3 opportunities down the right and not done it.too easy to piss about and hand possession back to palace.

 

[YES Blade]

He's blowing for anything when a palace player falls down or gets tackled. Different issue to us being shite.

Wilder could take over as ref and we'd still fucking lose!

 

[SUFCinks]

I think in possession we look OK so far, not done too much with it but some composure. Obviously we arent going to score so probably game over.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Strange how happy it made me to see Baldock not starting so I wouldn't have to see his Cruyff turn at the byline to pass back to Rammers.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

We should change the clubs name by deed-poll to Sheffield United Nil.

 

[Iceybabey]

Not good enough.

Ampadu struggling to make a simple pass.

 

[drblade]

Can’t remember the last time I enjoyed watching us.

Fed up.

 

[essexblade73]

Wilder could take over as ref and we'd still fucking lose!

Lolz. However this lesgue esp has some piss poor refs. At this level we deserve better.

 

[Lawrence]

Have we had a shot yet?

 

[HeySethUTB]

Ampadu another one who gives the ball away far to easily, for my liking. We have been solid apart from the deflected goal, but we always are.

 

[Mumbo]

Not good enough.

Ampadu struggling to make a simple pass.

He starts many an opposition attack with sloppy passing

 

[SUFCinks]

Have we had a shot yet?

Whats that?
