WIth the added bonus of playing the 5th most passes in order to get nowhere.

Yes.
What do you think is the solution to getting the ball forward quicker?
Kicking it further, faster.

To me that chart says that we do get the ball forward fast to the flanks, but then we don't follow up in the middle fast enough, presumably because our strikers are the ones out on the flanks and our midfield hasn't caught up with play yet, or Lamptey/Cucu are out on the flanks and our strikers/midfield are not making themselves available fast enough to receive the ball. Or something like that.
Plus we fanny about at the back a lot.

BREAKING | Crystal Palace are now just awaiting confirmation from the Premier League that their game against Tottenham Hotspur is OFF tomorrow.
Palace have now had three members of the playing staff test positive for covid
Thought there was new rules in place? o well
It's on, the PL rejected Palace's request to get it posponed.

They need to advise why for clarity

Because they are not called Tottenham Hotspur is my best guess

According to the link below, which is quoting The Athletic
Obviously nothing official from the PL or Palace etc. The meeting last week said clubs would be told to play games if they had 13 players plus a goalkeeper available but that didn't clarify if that had to be from the named 25 man squad, or from all players used in first team matches this season, which given the number of youngsters used outside of the 25 man squad would make more sense. They still need to make things clearer.

Or Burnley
All fine, but I do think they need to be making official statements or numbers etc.
If anything else for the fans to know if a game is likely to go ahead or they are going to be sticking to this rule.

Didn’t Everton get loads of mysterious (unlikely) injuries overnight to get this one called off. Burnley did not want it called off did they?
As a point of interest how many games have been called off because the “small” team asked for it?
My point on the league need to say why rather than it’s just off
If they have 3 Covid cases, 7 injuries and one unnamed 31 year out for allegedly being a nonce the game shouldn’t be off

Viera has tested positive (as with Gerrard). Not sure that should constitute an excuse for postponing.
So Palace have the strongest 11 minus the goalkeeper and potentially Benteke
Correct call by the league

I did look at the Palace team sheet out of curiosity after they tried to get their match called off and I agree, it's close to their full strength starting 11. Yes, Viera's missing but hope the PL just told them to do one and play

Can a resident Palace troll explain why on earth they’d want to call the game off then? I genuinely don’t get it
I wonder if some of this 11 are semi fit.
I think 9/11 are the side that completely destroyed Spurs earlier in the season.
