I hate Palace. I never used too, but i cant stand them anymore. Great recover from you bastards now. You're not a prem team but you'll probably be there instead of the hammers next year:(
You really don't care about filtering your dislike for Palace do you?
I think Cardiff and Stoke are going down and then not sure about the other one, but with the Hammers performance yesterday, I think you can make a rise out of it. Games won't be as tough as that obv and Carroll may become more deadly. Have you got all your players back fit in defense that made it such a shambles recently before Chelsea?
I think whoever goes down will be contesting their place until very late on in the season. Obv Palace could be put right back into it, no delusions there, especially with the potential no points this weekend away to Arsenal.
Hull game was a real scrappy affair where we edged our chance, sat back and made it incredibly tough for them to score, and Jerome up front did well to get us further up the pitch with flick ons and his pace, but aside from Puncheon no-one really looked capable of scoring for us yesterday.
It is an incredible 15 goals scored all season, and for our position that is impressive. Means those clean sheets have really given us a chance. Just need to be supporting Puncheon more in the goal threat department and it is very odd indeed that I look at Jerome, think he has had a good game but he posed no goal threat whatsoever. Just how Pulis sets up that makes that possible. It is a shame Bolasie can't shoot for toffee, i think his ratio at one point last season was 2 goals in 50 shots as he and Punch are the ones getting the opportunities to strike.
I hope Jerome finds some form with us because his work rate has been pretty good and if he could just get on the score sheet more often it would ease the load on Puncheon and the rest of the team who have to try and heroically defend for 90 mins every single game. As Pulis has said before, every game for us is a cup final now and you can see it in the players that that is how they are treating these games which is always going to go down well with the fans.
Can't see many fans being annoyed by the tactics of Pulis when they are so successful, and until our squad dramatically improves I wouldn't want anything changing about it!
Up Pulis' Palace!
