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: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HARRY KANE broke Crystal Palace hearts as he headed home an 88th minute winner at Selhurst Park.  It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
