westonred Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Its a bit harsh. Yes they are one on 9 clubs that can still get relegated but play exciting fast following football and just cant compete with the top 10 clubs financially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 A bit surprised by this TBH. Wonder who they have lined up as replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Looking at their record no wins in 11 premier league games (5D 6L), however 9/11 of the games were against top 8 clubs and the other 2 were away against Chelsea (10th) and Villa (11th). And they're playing Arsenal this weekend too so very bizarre run of fixtures. Unless some stuff happening internally then I think its a little harsh.

Super Posted March 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 They have needed a goal scorer for a long time now. I think the rest of the squad they have is pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd timing you would think with an international break coming up they would have waited until after the game on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Doesn’t surprise me. Thought by in the January transfer window, when they hadn’t strengthened their attack, they could be in serious trouble. The game’s changed now. You’ve got to have goal scorers in your team. Palace, Leeds and Soton have little in attack. Makes you very vulnerable imo. Don’t think the old approach of build a team from the back applies anymore. It’s the opposite. Start with the ‘goals for’, then look at the defence. Bournemouth, many’s favourites for the drop, have goals in them. May well survive because of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Just now, Super said: Very odd timing you would think with an international break coming up they would have waited until after the game on Sunday. Their last 10 games after the international break couldn't be much kinder. Lots of pts to be had here... Leicester H, Leeds A, Southampton A, Everton H, Wolves A, West Ham H, Spurs A, Bournemouth H, Fulham A, Forest H I would be interested to know what the players think about this because I can see this unsettling them if they still wanted him, presumably their fans are not very happy either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, don’t let facts get in the way of making a ‘good’ point. Bournemouth goals were much better one’s … and I was thinking more goals scored in the remainder of the season. Bournemouth will score more. Now, disprove that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Feels a bit harsh on Vieira. For him though it might not be such a bad thing, his stock is higher now than before he took over at Palace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Don't care about Palace; but a big fan of Vieira. Expecting him to bounce back from this and prove Palace were wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might seem a lot by the time we get there mind! Makes me more surprised that they could make more of a stab at getting Antonie - I guess they have a lack of immediate funds. Pity, as all he's doing at Bournemouth is warming his backside. Edited March 17, 2023 by Sleepy1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
