Yes just seen that 2-0, and despite fielding a front 3 of Mbappe, Messi & Neymar they failed to register an effort on target.

Brentford one up!

Brentford going for it, great start for them.

Really impressed with Palace so far this season. Playing some really good football. Out footballing Leicester who are one of the best footballing teams in the league.

Big change from the direct stuff they played under Roy. They will he nowhere near relegation as some people tipped them for.

Agree, the shift in style of play is quite incredible. Helped by spending close to £65m though.

Typical Leicester go 1-0 against the run of play just as I praised Palace. Been mullered for half an hour aswell.

Leicester 2-0 up having been outplayed for much of the game

When you have Iheanacho & Vardy in your ranks you always have a chance.

Strangely the first time they’ve been paired together this season in the Prem. Something the Leicester fans have been perplexed by.

Watching Brentford. They will wipe the floor with us if they play like this. A lot on here wanted us to buy Toney. How right they were

Very impressed with Palace. They could easily have felt sorry for themselves after going 2 down but they have come back excellently. Great support as well.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 3:33 pm

Palace wit Eduoard scoring 2 off the bench the other week and Schlupp scoring just now have 3 more goal contributions from subs in 3 matches than we have had in over 45.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 3:45 pm

Palace should never have been two behind in the first place but a good recovery. I see Schmeichel was at it again, blaming every man and his dog when the goals went in.

Claretincraven · Post by **Claretincraven** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 3:45 pm

A Leicester player has just got injured and a guy from Ghostbusters has come on the pitch to treat him. White full body suit with hood up, white face mask! He looks hilarious.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 3:51 pm

Palace still got Olise to get in (has been excellent since he came on) then Eze and Will Hughes to return from injury. Serious young attacking side.

if we do drop then I hope we have a close look at Brentford, their model and style of play.

Wow Brentford. What an astonishing start they've made.

The game at the Turf against them at the end of this month will be a hell of a test. I can see them turning us over.

We will need to be better than we have been for sure. Also need Vydra and Cornet fit.

I’m not talking about Newcastle that’s gone they stopped up, you seem to be obsessed with talking about Newcastle I was talking about Palace being relegated this season.

So you think a team that's got seven points after seven matches this season can't get relegated?

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 4:25 pm

I’ll be amazed if the wheels don’t come off at some point this season for Palace and Brentford. I still fancy us to finish above both.

Not sure we'll finish above Brentford, but Palace only have 1 win to their name in 7 games, and that came against a 10 man Spurs.

I should hope that both Cornet and Vydra will be fit and available for Brentford.

We should avoid pinning our hopes on one player but I think last week vs Leicester (first half) showed how much of an impact Cornet and Vydra can have for us.

Absolutely agree. Without them we are so one dimensional it’s not funny.

Not pretending to be a Brentford expert, but we’ve seen newly promoted teams do this before… it’s the bounce of getting up, we did it under Coyle, as have many others. A club is vulnerable until it has bedded in… Brentford are well run but they are on new ground. I expect they’ll stay up… but they said that about the same time about OC’s Burnley until we’ll past this point.

We got tubbed 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 in our first 4 away games under Judas.

It doesn’matter what I think what really matters is what gets said & what happens & the 2 things seldom mirror reality. I haven’t predicted Norwich even though it’s looking likely, I predicted Brentford would start dropping it hasn’t happened yet although it could do, I predicted Sam would save West Brom I was wrong, it’s nothing to be ashamed/embarrassed about getting predictions wrong just admit it & then we can have a serious debate.

Not checked the scores but until Christmas we sat comfortably in upper mid table.. and were making Premiership survival look easy.
