Palace v Leeds

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:23 pm

Zaha having one of his off nights and Gallagher not getting involved enough leaves Palace struggling to score. Everything crossed they don’t concede.

Wouldn't mind him as backup for Dwight......

92nd minute winner for Palace would be fun

That looked a pen to me. Did he get the ball?

70 mins gone and only one shot on target.

Gallagher just over.

Wish we still had Leeds to play as they don't look very good. Mind you, neither do Palace.

PremierLeagueClass · Post by **PremierLeagueClass** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:40 pm

Leeds very poor. Unless they rob this late on, they’re right in the dog fight with us and Everton until the end.

They look a lot harder to break down than earlier in the season.

Set up for a Leeds 92nd minute winner.

But just imagine if Palace score then, that would put Leeds into mourning already.

Some of the dives from Gallagher tonight have been embarrassing.

At least they didn't win.
And Citeh, Arsenal and Chelsea up for them next three.

Not a bad result for us but we have to do the business against Watford.

Zaha needs to pass more........greedy t...!

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:52 pm

Palace gave it a good go. Leaves Leeds within reach now with some difficult fixtures ahead. The picture is looking a lot rosier than a couple of weeks ago.

WazzaClaret · Post by **WazzaClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:52 pm

Take the draw there. With their run in I don't think a point is enough for them.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:53 pm

Hard not to be frustrated at that result given Palace’s second half domination.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:54 pm

Leeds drop 2 more points in a must win game. Leaves them 5 points ahead of Everton who have a game in hand. Our big chance comes at Watford while Everton and Leeds have Chelsea and City !!!!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:54 pm

Rounds off a decent weekend for the Clarets does that, I still think Leeds will have enough to survive, but a win at Watford, and we could well be 16th after their game against City.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:55 pm

on "paper" that was Leed's easiest game imho

Jamesy · Post by **Jamesy** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:58 pm

I cannot believe Palace didn’t beat that awful Leeds side. Zaha should be given a rollicking by Vera for taking on all those shots which he was very unlikely to score from when team mates were queuing up. And Gallagher was wasteful on several occasions.
At least Palace were trying their best to win the game. No point clutching at straws though hoping other teams will do us favours. If we take care of our own business we can survive.

After losing to Norwich you'd have been crazy to think we'd now be two points in front of Everton and only three points behind Leeds.

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:05 pm

The way the fixtures are scheduled a win at Watford would be huge for us given the difficulty Everton and Leeds should have getting points at the weekend

Psychologically that would make the games where they would hope to get something even more difficult

We're still in grave danger but there's definitely a belief there again and our 7 points in a week has really destabilised Everton

bodge · Post by **bodge** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:07 pm

The main thing is Leeds are in range, should we win.

Eze was an absolute waste of a shirt tonight, really disappointing.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:07 pm

If Watford was a big game before, it’s even bigger now!!

We’ve grabbed the bull by the horns, now it’s time to wrestle it to the ground!!

Ashingtonclaret46 · Post by **Ashingtonclaret46** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:17 pm

Leeds talked Zaha off his game tonight, threw one or two fouls in to help their cause and, consequently, he became more and more frustrated and tried 'clever' things when he should have been playing it simple.
Referee was very lenient with the cards tonight when you consider the three that we recevied yesterday!

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:49 pm

Leeds fans positives are that they kept a clean sheet. The negatives are the football, or lack of it.

Can't really disagree with them. They didn't ship goals but look a shadow of the team they were when they played attacking football.

Looks like the plan was to defend and leave James up to hit on the break.

I thought they might give City a game until I saw them tonight. They might get panned playing like that.

Not so sure. They were very fast to the ball and pressed in numbers. Think City might struggle with that. They did let them in lots of times though, with some pretty bad decision making, which City would punish.

As much as I hate them,I thought leeds played well.
