2-2 Palace, A Post Match Thread

[The Horse's Mouth]

Genuinely baffles me I get seeing out the game but we went way too defensive had absolutely no outlet when it’s not like we were struggling when we went toe to toe with them. Absolutely moronic, completely on the manager

More than matched them for 60 minutes until Cooper decided to go full football terrorist. All on him

The penalty is on Coady, 100% agree. But the negative shithouse switch of tactics is entirely on Cooper. We barely got out our final 3rd for the last 15 minutes. Parking the bus was the completely wrong thing to do, we were doing OK. Awful negative subs cost us.

This isn't on Cooper, that's ludicrous.

He invited the opposition to attack with his negative substitutions (who were awful defensively btw). This is what happens when you park the bus.

 

I think his plan looked sound in the first half and then he threw it to shit with his subs. 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

At this level, choosing not to use 2 of your permitted changes is a waste.

 

Energy levels when trying to close a game out is vitally important.

 

He made changes on the 72nd, 76th and 83rd.

 

Make just one of those together, you then have the further option to make a 4th and 5th change.

 

To tie your hands in such a way - makes no sense.

[sylofox]

2 up and cooper fvcked it up.

 

Definitely 2pts dropped sorry given away.

 

This cvnts taking us down as he's not got a fvcking clue.

[JonnyBoy]

I was really hopeful about steve cooper but now i couldn't be further from that opinion. Doesn't have a clue and needs to be sacked asap which we know won't happen

Sack the manager. Worst in our history. 

Ian Holloway and Peter Taylor say hello!

There is nothing wrong with “parking the bus” away from home when you’re protecting a lead. Parking the bus with your only outlet being 37 year maverick striker is stupidity. It’s poor in game management

Was that 1st Palace goal non euclidian geometry?   

 

Anyway, a bit of a lack of ambition and we've chucked 2 points away.

 

 

Passing black hole to blame

[dylanlegend]

A negative startibg line up. Couldnt beleive his luck when we were 2-0 so decides to double down and make us even more defensive 

[Lesterlad]

Awful to have so many defensive players on at the end. Yet still can’t defend 

[cropstonfox]

Coady should never have come on.Shit player all mouth no ability.

Steve cooper still learning about the group.

He will get it right or be gone by end of November.

[Trent Steel]

hes welsh, he should stick to either coaching rugby, sheep shagging or growing leeks

 

but i bet hes shit at those too

The negativity around here has gotten out of hand, it's become toxic and a real turn-off. 

 

I thought Cooper did alright, though Coady's mistake was poor, but those things happen and will happen against this season. His mistake was having Coady on the bench instead of Vestergaard who outshines Coady in almost every aspect of the game.

A yard stick of how toxic and negative this place has become is that i'm one of the more positive people on here at the moment.

I struggle to blame Cooper, we were really comfortable.  I sloppy mistake cost us 2 points.

But the sloppy mistake came from the player he brought on. Yes, Coadys mistake but he’s got to show more ambition to see out a game. We were doing well to retain possession before he made the changes he made.

 

 

[Kierzz]

Cooper needs to learn as a manager how to tactically set up a team for each period of the 90mins away from home.

 

That's not how you do it

[studentofthegame]

Was half expecting him to bring Ward on and go with 2 keepers at the end

Ah so that's inviting the opposition on to us... 

 

What's playing out do then?

This is not remotely relevant to anything today, why are you still going on about this

[Tielemans63]

To be fair to Cooper, while he shouldn't have brought Coady on, he can't have expected him to do something that ****ing stupid. He should be able to trust a player of that experience not to do something as daft as that. 

[RowlattsFox]

Every club makes all the subs available to them, and we've had 3 in a row who won't do it.

If he’d have taken off defenders and put on attackers when protecting a lead he’d be rightly ridiculed if we lost the lead. Don’t have a problem with trying to see the game out last ten mins.
 

Don’t see how you legislate against absolutely moronic decision making from Coady as a manager, aside from not playing him again. IMO Coady is rubbish, but he is a very experienced player at this level and he should know much better than that. You bring him on expecting leadership and a calming influence at the least, and here he delivered the opposite. 

There is going defensive and there is what Cooper did today ending up with 9 defensive players on the pitch

 

We were already under pressure and he has quite literally just said to Palace with those subs that they will be able to attack us non stop and not have to worry about us in any way

 

It left us with absolutely zero outlet to get a break from that pressure

[Larry_LCFC]

I'm sorry but people defending Cooper clearly didn't watch the last 20 minutes. I find it staggering. 🤣

[Chris63]

Should never have appointed cooper. I don't understand how sacked managers keep getting new jobs to just make another team awfully. Why didn't Leicester owners/management look for a succesfull manager instead of dredging a dying pond FFS 

[Cincinnati Fox]

So PGMOL saying he was behind the ball when played??? Bollocks
