Team Analysis – Assessing Pardew’s Palace

16 February 2015 1148 comments

Share:

The weekend cup defeat by in-form Liverpool may have paused Palace’s recent momentum but the narrow 2-1 reverse means Alan Pardew can now concentrate solely on Premier League matters. After producing three wins and a draw in five top-flight matches since their new manager rolled up to Selhurst Park last month, the Eagles now sit five points clear of the drop zone with 13 rounds of fixtures remaining.

Bearing in mind that Palace managed just three wins in their first 20 league outings prior to Pardew’s installation, it’s fair to say their form is very much on the up. With that in mind, we turn to the latest addition to our members section – the Team Profiles and Comparison Tool – to assess the impact of the former Newcastle boss as he looks to replicate Tony Pulis’ 2013/14 heroics and steer Palace to safety. These tools allow us to pinpoint any areas of improvement and/or issues of concern, in addition to highlighting the players who have benefitted most of all.

          Yeah man. I've had a change of schedule in January and Feb. That coupled with not much to discuss meant Ive been off the site quite a bit. Trying to be more productive in my life learning Korean and exercising. You'd be amazed how little you want to discuss fantasy prospects of Burnley defensive assets etc. after that 😆

    So many ifs buts and maybe's this week considering injuries in Europa, Chelsea Leicester with balancing GW27 with GW28.
    I want Costa but involves a double change. I look 3 GW's forward and it really is swings and roundabouts.
    Those who held on to their WC are not going to get the benefits in season's past.

          As of right now, yes. But youre still gonna want 3 from Chelsea, atleast 2 from Spurs and possibly one or two from QPR/Leicester, and by doing that youre gonna have problems the gw before. So i think making a sideways transfer like that is just not necessary.

    Ron Vlaar. Potential Wisdom replacement (have 4.4m to spend).

    Pros - Nailed on, 4.3m, decent fixtures, bonus points magnet

    Cons - Unsure how defensively sound Villa will be under Sherwood, had an injury-plagued season

          Yes, and not just this season. Coming back from a serious injury usually means easing back in, and as you said, we dont know how Sherwood will make them look. If both were fit and nailed on, Vlaar would be my preferred choice too, but when youre going for a cheap defender like that the most important part is that they play every game and have a few decent home fixtures. Having them not play for various reasons is just devastating.

                True I guess, but I can see him playing every match as he's captain and their best defender. But I see your point 🙂 I'll reconsider, cheers.

                  I dont disagree with that. I just think the risk doesnt match the reward when you can just as easily get Hutton, or wait. But youre the boss man 🙂

          I disagree. Sponatenous reactions, fine - i have no problem with that. But Rooney does something else, he always tries to influence the referee to change his mind, and to me thats just lack of class. People hated on Barcelona players for years over this, but when its Rooney, everyone seemingly just turns the cheek. But yes, ive said for years that hes a diver. At this point in time, youd be hard pressed to find anyone who never dives.

                    Screw the rules you can't blame the ref for giving it or the player for going down, keeper been rightly punished for a rash tackle. With replays it's no pen but live it will be given more often than not. The keeper needs to make a better decision there not the ref

                      Now youre just trying to justify his actions. We were discussing whether or not Rooney is a dive/dove to get the penalty, which he clearly did as there was absolutely no contact. The opporunity for diving is there every single game, doesnt mean you have to take it. But Rooney did, and has been doing it for years.

                      And actually you are wrong. The keeper made a bad decision to rush out thinking he could reach the ball before Rooney, but he didnt touch him. Rooney then made a worse decision by diving, and the referee made the worst decision out of all three parties involved when he dove.

                      Screw the rules just simply doesnt apply, my good sir.

                        Rooney has every right to go down there, he is punishing the keeper's mistake. Any striker worth their salt does exactly the same thing in that spot. It's completely different to diving when the defender has done nothing wrong

                        Youre actually insane. You think youre right, but youre not. Youre actually condoning diving just because the circumstances are in his favour. Do you not hear how dumb that logic is?

                        Unlikely seeing as I'm a Leeds fan. It was a foul therefore pen. Rooney diving just emphasised it to the ref. Just because he managed to avoid the keeper doesn't mean it can't be a foul

      But because they are a popular team he's given the benefit of the doubt like Manu as a whole always do e.g. Somehow escaping FFP fine despite spending triple that of City. And no, they did not compensate it with their sponsorship deals as it was reported that their revenues fell by £17m due to the lack of CL football despite the new sponsorship deals.

      Biased all around from the FA to the media just to save them from more negativity.

          Their revenues fell by £17m, their costs after triple that of City (not even including the world-record amounts Manu players are paid), yet one receives a £50m FFP fine while the other didn't? I understand it fully well.

              And how do you think profit is calculate? Let me give it to you:

              Profit = Revenue - Cost

                Just because a club spends more and makes less than the season before doesn't automatically mean they've breached FFP - the starting position is important.

                Oh dear, here are two points:

                1. Man City will not be fined £50m they got away with a £16m fine
                2. You've provided the calculation for profit yet still believe that Man Utd should be caught by FFP! Here are the last two years worth of figures for the two clubs. Now if you still believe Man Utd and not Man City should be caught by FFP as it currently stands there's no helping you.

                Manchester City
                2014
                Revenue £346.5m (MU £433.2m)
                Loss £23m (MU £23.9m profit)

                2013
                Revenue £271 (MU £363m)

                  Mate, let me guide you step-by-step.

                  1) You take Manu's 2013 profit (146m)
                  2) Subtract it by 17m (the loss in revenue)
                  3) Subtract it by another 150m + nearly 1m a week in additional wages paid (ADM, Falcao, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Rojo)
                  4) Sum it up and tell me how did they come up with that 23.9m figure.

                  City apparently met the threshold for a 50m fine with that 23m loss. In that same year, how did Manu escape it with a 47m loss as calculated above? Fix your maths mate.

                    Key thing to remember, FFP is calculated over a number of years not based on one year. Since Man City had been making heavy losses they were caught by FFP, however Man Utd due to their past profits will not be caught by FFP after one year of over spend.

                  Nice way to sum up your argument with a solid "there's no helping you" by the way. Really smart way to end off your argument which was based on googling up Manu's balance sheet. If that was too sophisticated for you as you can't believe your eyes that Manu's 2014 profits were manipulated, here's something new for you: It very obviously is.

                      All I'm saying is that Manu clearly manipulated their profits, just like many businesses making losses do. I never said that there was a conspiracy, but for whatever reason, whether the FA didn't notice the manipulation or chose not to overlook it, the manipulation is still there.

                        Ive had some bad luck regarding Kane. Actually had him and sold him just before his run started, then i got Dzeko (who got injured), then Giroud (who got sent off), and then i got Kane but sold him and kept Austin because his stats were far superior to Kane`s. Stubborn as a donkey. But having Kane doesnt allow me to climb the ladder, which is why i didnt get him.

          Probably not. Hes expensive and Spurs have a way of conceding in games where you`d really think they could keep cleanies. Its not awful by any stretch, but i think i`ll suffice with Kane/Eriksen, however boring it may be.

            SWANS/qpr in dgw28, I'd fancy 1 shutout but it's risky with spurs, Vert seems the safest option but will be difficult to crowbar him in.

              Yeah i noticed the fixtures, but as i said i just dont trust Spurs enough to shell out almost £6m for a defender. I do think it could be a nice differential though.
