Yessss!!!! Crystal Palace beating Tottenham 2-0. Have outplayed them all game. This game should be 4-0 but for Benteke's horrible link up play.

Re: Patrick Vieira is new coach of Crystal Palace
He came on very late and within 3 minutes, had a hand in the 3rd goal, driving at the Tott defense before passing to Gallagher who passed to Edouard to score the 3rd.Damunk wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 3:06 pmOh wow!

Good thing for Viera that Zaha stayed given he’s one of a bare handful of quality players to work with. Good win today vs. Spurs.

Re: Patrick Vieira is new coach of Crystal Palace
Your post echoes my initial gut feeling but it is what it is. Same thing routinely occurred in USA pro leagues (NFL, NBA, etc). when blacks were given the ‘opportunity’ to break into head coaching jobs, they always got the WORST jobs. They had to work twice as hard to succeed eg Tony Dungy at Tampa Bay when they were absolute shiet. Hopefully, Viera will succeed. I like his approach. How quickly he’s able to integrate the young signings will play a role in his ability to keep CP in the EPL this season.oloye wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 9:15 pm This is one appointment I don't like at all. Looks like they are looking for a scapegoat having mismanaged the recruitment of replacement for Hogdson and the messy transfer situation in club. There is enough mess in that place right now to pull the club down...

Re: Patrick Vieira is new coach of Crystal Palace
The good thing is he has done a good job in the transfer season. If that Eduard guy can give them 10 - 15 goals with others chipping in,they should be fine.green4life wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:02 pmYour post echoes my initial gut feeling but it is what it is.

True.
I saw them in pre-season and you could tell they were being coached. There was a clear pattern to their game. Even against a tough opponent today, they did no deviate from what they planned.

Re: Patrick Vieira is new coach of Crystal Palace
One can see a plan being implemented and the players are slowly buying into it.
Issue will be the brainlessness of some of the older players will rear its ugly head in some games and cost them unnecessarily.
Totally outplayed Spurs today and should have won by a larger margin if Ayew and Benteke or even that kid Gallagher were half accurate.

Really impressed by their movement and drive for goal.
Looked like a totally reborn side. Great win, well deserved.

You are always looking and sniping for trouble even where there is none. I dont like the appointment because i smell trouble,that has not changed .

In my second post i acknowledged that Viera has managed the situation very well.
What position am i changing here. Did i say i am now okay with him taking the job?
I am still not comfortable with him taking the job,but i want him to suceed for obvious reason. Because of him i have become a supporter of Crystal Palace ,a club i dont even.bother to watch unless they are playing one of the big teams.
I know you are just looking for trouble...so continue
