    Bilic out!, plain and simple as that. Terrible game of football, sloppy. We need a change.

    Yep I second that.

    Our season has been all about playing well in 1.5 Carabao games.

    That’s not good enough.

    Palace actually deserved to win today

    Antonio you brainless muppet
  • LukerzLukerz
    And as I said, Antonio offers this side nothing.

    second half we just took it and caved in eventually... sigh

    5/12 points from 4 games that we needed 10. Not good enough and with the run of games we have, hell by the end of this weekend we could be in the bottom 3 again.

    Bilic has to go

    Antonio should be fined for that mistake bur the 2nd half was abysmal

    Bye Bilic

    Literally hate watching us it's actually so depressing

    What was Antonio 5hinking. He could have held onto that for a minute.
  • HamstewHamstew
    So poor. We can't go on like this.

    What on earth was Antonio thinking. His attitude all season has been disappointing compared to last, but this was exceptionally poor. His whole performance since coming on today was sluggish, as was his performance verses Brighton. He may not want to play as a RWB, but his attributes make that his best position, it's his attitude when he plays said position is what lets him down. So annoyed with him.

    Deserved all we got..... thick team following poor managers tactics ends with more disappointment.
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    When Antonio can’t be bothered he really is a waste of space but watching that you have to say it was fully deserved. Our weekend totally ruined... again. 2-0 up and we throw it away. How many chances did we have to hold the ball, how many chances did we have to break away and score. How many needless fouls did we give away, and how many times did we just boot it out. We looked like we were hanging on against United in 1996?!? Or whatever year it was when we stopped them winning the league. This is Palace for goodness sake. Go for the win lads. Seriously. What game are we playing?!?
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    Hart had a good game with a couple of excellent saves. Fair play to him.

    Funny isn’t it. We were actually pretty ordinary first half too but somehow were blessed with two goals from probably our only two moments in the whole game. And still we contrived to stuff it up. Dominated by palace, Newcastle and Brighton. If that isn’t enough to prompt a managerial change then heaven help us.

    This club will be the death of me.

    Shocking result. This team has got 3 points all season and we defend against them? Attack them, finish them off!!

    Im so frustrated.
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    I wouldn't say Palace deserved the point but we deserved not to get 3. In the 2nd half, shocking passing, shocking tactics, no ambition, no desire.
    From the time they got their first we tried to see out the game instead of killing it.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Poor performance again from many of the players. Although I don't want him to go, I think Bilic may be gone by Monday.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Palace deserved it as they tried to win......we didn't

    Hart made 4/5 class saves their keeper didn't

  • welovethehammerswelovethehammers
    The problem with us this season is fairly simple. We have good players we just make way too many silly individual mistakes. Each week it's a different player's turn.

    Carroll, Hart, Antonio, Arnautovic, Noble, Fonte, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Zabaleta, Obiang, Kouyate - the list goes on. Almost half the squad has made major mistakes costing us goals.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We deserve to be relegated. That was one of the worst halves we've played this season and that's saying something. No idea whatsoever and totally clueless. Since Bilic has been manager we've given away the most penalties by a country mile.
    Palace thoroughly deserved to win that and they brought nothing positive from Wednesday's game into this one. What on earth do they work on in training
  • HamstewHamstew
    Why does it always have to be last kick.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    I don’t agree Exeter. The fact that a point was registered will mean the daves will pussy foot around for several months more till it is not worth bothering sacking him as his contract will be almost up. Let’s hope by some miracle we have scraped enough points by then
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    We're just not very good at football, are we?

    You can blame Bilic for many things, but it's not his fault that Ogbonna and Antonio are pretty brainless. Nor can you blame him for Carroll and Arnautovic's red cards. Individual mistakes have probably cost us six points this season.

    That said, this was a must win and we didn't and, to be honest, the Spurs game didn't change that much in terms of whether Bilic should stay on, for me. Again today we just weren't very good at all and can probably consider ourselves lucky to get a point.

    Needs to go.
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    The last pass of the game summed it all up. At 2-2 we may have last have gone for it but no, we have zero confidence so let’s pass it all the way back to Hart. At 2-2!!! To run down the clock. Sad times.
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    Please tell me the board haven’t fired him just because they haven’t got anyone finalised yet. Surely it’s a matter of time.
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    The game changer was the penalty and their resultant goal. After that the boys played with fear, ergo dropped deeper; looked to pass responsibility; and made mistakes. Ogbonna is too rash for a CB in the premier league. I still blame him for the first goal against Spurs.

    Basically too many players aren't playing to their best. Antonio I can only assume is carrying a slight injury, because if not his effort levels against Brighton and today are disgraceful.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Only our team can make us feel like that....
    I'm gutted we gave it away at the end, Antonio, wake up .......you in the end cost us.....sorry....
    Saying that while I knew it would be a Palace onslaught we were IMO hopeless in the 2nd half...
    So near to the 3 points with a average performance IMO and left feeling like a loss with that last moment...
    Joe hart MOM
    Noble freaked out at end looks like towards Antonio....what was Antonio bloomin thinking...he owes us....
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Antonio owes all those travelling fans their money back. If the idiot keeps hold of the ball, wins or corner or a throw in then that doesn't happen! Brainless
  • welovethehammerswelovethehammers
    If we are holding onto a lead with a 1 goal difference and on the counter attack, you have 2 simple choices:

    1) If there's a good chance of scoring, have a go
    2) Take it to the corner flag.

    We seemed to not know which option to pick. Antonio had 2 or 3 opportunities and didn't really do either. With his frame he should be holding that up or with his attwckong ability making something more of it. Several times it was neither option #1 nor #2.
