Changes have spoilt it a bit for us. It’s a good work out bough which is what pre season is all about. Win or lose we have to look at the positives and negatives.

Plenty of both at this stage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i dont see much to cheer me up so far. defensively we still look poor and too open to counter attack whilst offering very little going forward as final ball is terrible
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly this is not our first choice back four. Secondly - until all the changes we looked very good.

If Joffy could just stay on side ….
----------------------------------------------------------------------
we werent that great first half either
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not great but the better team. Remember this is pre season. Lots of work to do yet for these lads.

As the Oz commentator said before the start - Palace are a bit ahead of us PL wise.

It’s shown at times too.

we are still very naive defensively which makes them look better going forward

…but look at the defence. No Cooper, Ayling or Struijk. I could probably include Firpo but I won’t

"until all the changes we looked very good."

which match are you watching?

posted on 22/7/22

leeds players getting in each others way and then we have to rely on klich who for some reason seems to drop deep at set pieces and gets caught every time as has no pace. TIme to say thank you and move him on

Didn't lose, that's about the only positive from that.

posted on 22/7/22

not impressed to tell the truth. looks like another relegation scrap to me unless we sort out our susceptibility to counter attacks

posted on 22/7/22

first half not bad... second half no so good but the players are still not match fit yet so a couple more weeks and a couple more new. signings we should be able to achieve mid table mediocrity this season.

Keys for me are fitness and building understanding.

We're picking up injuries and not really looking cohesive so far.

Decent work out in U.K. conditions. We looked poor after all the changes but there are positives for sure.

The new lads all look very decent - even the Phillips “makeweight” who looks like he will get some game time and adds some height to the team.

Harrison has to stay. Especially if Sinestera has a pulled hamstring. Joffy will score goals this season if he can time his runs better. Unlucky today.

Bamford came through another 45 and hopefully Forshaw isn’t hurt long term.

Always negatives when you concede and after the wholesale changes we looked vulnerable to the counter. Llorente and Koch seem to have formed a decent partnership though. Struijk was missed second half. His passing was poor but his game reading was excellent first half.

Big, strong team Palace. Never easy to play against.

Didn't watch as I don't bother with friendlies, but main points here, 2 injury's. One to the new signing and Raphinha replacement with a hamstring injury, could 8 weeks with that, lets hope it's a very quick recovery as we will really need him.

A new left back, centre forward and I would be tempted to get another centre half as Cooper looks more than likely to miss big chunks of the season.
Also I would hang on to Bate because Klich and injury prone Foreshaw are not going to be the answer if Adams and Rocco are not available.

The same one as the commentator who said exactly the same.

Don't know if anyone else heard it but on the Aussie commentary they were saying Bamford was wearing moulds because studs hurt his feet.

Doesn't sound ready to me, really need another striker.

Kalimuendo incoming next week according to "reliable sources" or CDK or Gakpo, Terrier, Toney,Mertens or even Barn door Billy may make a comeback.. who knows!
