On the wages they on they should be able to defend and pass the ball.

Its not rocket science.

Now why the he'll did no-one else see that before. Managerial genius you. If you could just inform parish and Dr boer then we'll all be fine.

I genuinely cannot believe you and others are writing him off after one game. We're palace ffs. Not Chelsea or united. What the **** has happened to our so called fans

Needs to toughen up a bit but has potential. He will suffer against Burnley if he plays. Their forwards murdered our Centre Backs last season, pretty much won everything with long balls up to their big men. It could be even worse this year if Jairo starts with TFM as part of a back 3. I think he should be bedded in slowly otherwise his confidence could be shot very quickly.

He needs a chance and time to adapt. I think it's high risk throwing him straight in, especially alongside another inexperienced defender and a new system. But he clearly has talent and hopefully he can quickly adapt.

Enough about Valerian Ismael, what about Jairo Riedewald?

Should have just signed Sakho and been done with it .

He looked fine against The Germans but went to pieces after an early mistake. Hopefully won't happen again.

Please bear in mind that Maestro is probably the biggest moaner in these boards. Apparently, because he has alledgely played a good standard of Football, he feels it gives him a god given right to slag off everything the Club does. What makes it worse, that he NEVER ever goes to any games, just watches online.

That was such a shame as Ismael went on to have a great career. But Carl Leaburn murdered him!! That was a dark night. Hopefully Riedewald adapts quickly - I'm sure he will.

What concerned me was that after the couple of errors he didn't seem to want the ball, which meant when he did get it he was passing back to Hennesey and putting him in trouble. Between them they were playing the hot potato game, I don't want it you have it. He just didn't seem ready to be plunged in at the deep end. As a result the whole back line started to look nervy. His first game should have been as a sub in mid field.

The bloke got booed after 15 mins when passing backwards..

Give him a chance. He done some very good Stuff aswel. Think he's going to be a very good player.

It was a bad first game, but that is all it is.

He kept over passing back to the keeper even when not under pressure. He looked defensively poor and a bit physically weak. The third goal is comical too and he played a big part there.

Booing passes to the keeper is so British its nuts. Keep the ball is what its all about.

Pathetic to boo like that.

This is why the national team is so poor.

He got booed for passing it back when there was an attacker right behind him, imagine the outrage if he tried to turn on it

Agree, however sometimes is better to hit it long rather than put the keeper under pressure (a particularly poor keeper) and let the opposition regroup.

One bad game amongst a dire performance will not do any harm.

Booing is Pathetic at Any-Time,the Booing of the National Team is a,Huge,Reason why the Team is Poor & No Trophy since 1966.

Passing back to the keeper is fine. Passing back to Hennessey is not.

Defenders need to be leaders or be led. He's clearly not a leader (expected at his young age) and was without leadership on Saturday (Dann). Stick someone like Sakho next to him and he'll thrive. Doubt that will happen though.

That is the only thing that was Wrong,as Stated by Frank De Boer,there is a Right-Time & a Wrong-Time,& area,to Play the Short Passing Game.
None of the Goals came from this,However.
Its only 1 Game & Plenty of Time to Get it Right.
With the International Break coming up,Wilf Zaha,could,only Miss 2 Games,Liverpool & Swansea.
