BREAKING NEWS: PALACE SACK DE BOER


CRYSTAL PALACE have sacked Frank de Boer.

de Boer lasted just FOUR Premier League games the last of which was yesterday's 1-0 defeat at Burnley the clubs 4th Premier League defeat in a row without scoring. Palace became the first team to lose their first four games without scoring a goal.

A Palace statement read the following:

It is understood that former Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom and England manager Roy Hodgson will be the man to replace de Boer at Palace within the next 24 hours.

de Boer now holds the record as the manager with the shortest ever reign Premier League reign with just four games. Les Reed at Charlton held the record with just 7 games in charge.

My View:

 I watched the game yesterday and Palace were very unlucky, they had an absolute nightmare start and that pack bass was just an awful mistake. After that goal went in they became very nervous and were making a lot of mistakes but they held out and then were able to start creating chances themselves. They had 23 efforts yesterday but only 5 on target. 3 of their best chances fell to Dann and how he missed that header I have no clue! Sacking de Boer after only 4 games is appalling, yes they have had a bad start but there are a lot of encouraging sings. He was brought in to change the style of play and if you want to do that you have to be given time to do so and 4 games is no where near enough time. I feel for de Boer but football is a results business its a very harsh decision and hopefully we will see him back in the Premier League with another club. Where this takes Palace now if it is to be Roy Hodgson they its taking them back to where they were before FDB came in its a backward step for me.

FT REPORT: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 TOTTENHAM

MANCHESTER CITY put Wednesday's Champions League disappointment behind them after beating Spurs 1-0 to put the pressure back onto Liverpool in the title race.  (C) Manchester City  City came flying out of the blocks right away. It didn't take long to get in front. Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes.  That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
