Very emotional post by me after a demoralising loss on the weekend. I had that one down as a win, I just assumed the players would lift knowing how important the game was. The fact they didn't shows that they've lost all faith in the manager and for me that's all the proof needed that a change needs to be made.
Analysing the current squad, I can't help but feel that any new manager that comes in is going to face an uphill battle saving the side from relegation. When you go through player by player, you see how desperate times have become:
Mandanda - Average, nothing more than that.
Scott Dann - Average defender who masked his deficiencies last season with goals but now they have dried up, is being exposed. Questionable whether he is a keeper next season.
James Tomkins - Probably one of the only quality players we have. Unlucky with his injury at the start of the season but a quality football, technically gifted and a leader at that. Definite keeper for next season.
Cabaye - Nowhere near the player he was for a brief 6 month period at Newcastle. Was exposed at PSG, exposed for France and is now being exposed here. Has aged quicker than anyone I have seen and unlikely he is here next season so not a keeper.
McArthur - For me, the best player in the side just ahead of Tomkins. Hard working, inspiring, plays with his heart on his sleeve. If the rest of the side had the drive that he and Tomkins have then we wouldn't be in this mess. 100% a keeper, good shout for captain too.
Puncheon - As many have pointed out, he's a Pardew favourite but doesn't offer much. Once Pardew goes, he will go too. Not a keeper.
Zaha - Decent player, looks like he was developed well at the back end of last season. I'd keep him but he needs to prove this isn't just a purple patch he is in.
Benteke - Good player, will be kept. Think he needs to do more but good enough for now.
Ward - Boring player, a sign of the times that he is relied on at Palace. Won't be kept.
All of the other remaining players aren't even worth mentioning.
I am so angry :wallbash:
