True, though I probably care that no one gets injured, which is why I'm never bothered about this comments regarding lack of effort. Score wise and performance wise? I'll wait for the league games.

Oh dear, Watford will be rubbing their hands at this.

In fact, about a dozen PL teams, all looking for '3 we can finish above', have probably just added one more name to their list..........................

Yeah, yeah.....

I was impressed with Bissouma before his brilliant free kick. think he will be a good buy for us.

Not many positives from that.
But I’m already looking forward to watching Bissouma.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Disappointed with that - it was pretty much last year's team, and it looked like it. Hope the newcomers turn out to be good!

Probably more a reflection of how poor Reading are than Palace's quality

Bissouma knows the way to the opponent's goal... and he wanted it soooo much!!! Good man, Bissouma, you look like the breath of fresh air that we do need. Thank you, recruitment team.

Zaha playing to impress potential buyers before the window closes and secure his move away?

The commentator has a habit of putting the emphasis on foreign words on syllables that seem counterintuitive to me.

Having signed Ali-REE-za JA-hanbakhsh from the Erediv-EE-sie

Do you feel he's putting the emPHAAAAsis on the wrong syllAAAble ?!

It was just a friendly and you don't expect a full on display, but those that have proper competition for their place in the side I was waiting for a little reaction. Nothing happened, and the same deficiencies easily seen. March still doesn't have an idea what to do with the ball apart from hit it in the area with no regard to who may be on the end of it. Percentages will tell you some of these crosses will end up appearing genius but the reality is these too would have been blindly played. Knockeart similarly appears to have hit a wall.

So glad we have so many options, we might even create more chances on the road.

the right footed denilson · Jul 28, 2018

That is unstoppable

severnside gull · Jul 28, 2018

We looked very underprepared. Very sloppy. At this stage of pre-season the lack of cohesion was slightly concerning. That said their young keeper was excellent. But so was Ryan.
Bernardo looked lost; Propper looked like he did on debut last season; March was ineffectual, Duffyvs frustrating mix of good and sloppy.

On the plus side Knockaert was all energy both going forward and chasing back, Bruno was his imperious self, Dunk was his composed self, Balogun is a good player and Bissouma's cameo was full of promise.
Not much else though

Agree re Solly. Duffy worries me not ability wise, but in terms of readiness. Looks some way away to me, perhaps that’s why he was kept on.

Knockaert I thought was our only threat until Bissouma came on, second half looked very sharp.

Bruno sublime [emoji6]

Sounds like Balogun might be close to starting against Watford to me.

Not really. Isn't he left sided?

He played on the right hand side with Dunk v Charlton
