I think if we do that, or at least find a consistent goalscorer to outscore the opposition we can have a comfortable upper mid table finish.

We don't play horrible football but we're just weak at the back and inconsistent at the front, we can be so good in the middle of the pitch and on the wing, we're so much better there than the service they have either end around them. At times it almost feels like we're playing in a relegation scrap, you go into games with that mindset and you get the results we're getting, where it feels like every team are just putting us on complete lockdown. This season we've had a couple of convincing wins but far more unremarkable draws and crushing losses.

West Brom are awful to watch. A bit like my team lol. I hope you bring them down second half.

The one positive of this I guess is now Ranieri has a game he can show to his team and say "this is everything wrong with you this year".

Speaking of new defenders, Palace have been unsettled by the left back Soare being knackered in a car crash and Tomkins has come in from West Ham but has done little to justify his £10M price tag, so the defence is a bit of a bodge-job at the moment and it shows.

I think we should have a bet to see who'll keep a clean sheet in the league first, Steedy. My money's on your boys!

Chelsea and the Manure look like they won't have it after January either. Fact that Klopp has them training more is obviously and advantage.

Started with Ajax some great prospects they have.

I was watching MOTD Extra on B.B.C 1 yesterday and a journalist they had on the panel made a good point that he feels Mourinho has run out of steam and fresh ideas compared to the younger coaches today like Klopp.
Do any of the premier league teams have a license in Football Manager this year i heard Everton has a license in the game.

Why come out and say that, very strange.

Tob are you worried about Sanchez on international duty with the injury?

That's the problem with Wenger he does not make a stand with the international teams of our players with a case like this.
So far its a hamstring injury but if he plays Tuesday for Chile then i don't expect him to play in the two big games we have against Man.United and P.S.G at least we have Giroud in good form David.

Good to have the Premier League back at the weekend.

[Geoff D]

I don't share your sentiment as there's a fair chance Palace will end up in the bottom three by the end of play on Saturday.

[tob]

Ok its not good to have the Premier League back.

[Geoff D]

Yay!

[Steedeel]

It's good until 3.00! After that, not so much.
