Sage booed as Palace lose 2-0 to Newcastle a week after 5-0 rout
Post
๐ฐ Pierre Sage was booed as Crystal Palace followed a 5-0 defeat at Brighton by losing 2-0 at home to Newcastle.
๐ Key points
๐ Palace lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle on 25 October.
๐ Home fans booed during the game and again at full-time.
๐งฑ Their 19 goals conceded in eight games is the most in the league.
๐ฃ๏ธ Sage said: "There is no noise inside the club."
๐ฅ Football365 ranks Sage second in the sack race.
๐ What happened
โฝ Goalless at half-time, Palace fell behind a minute after the restart when Will Osula turned in Jacob Murphy's cross on 47 minutes. Harvey Barnes added a second from inside the box on 58.
๐ It came a week after the 5-0 thrashing at Brighton. Fans who had been patient began to murmur in the second half and booed during the game and at the final whistle.
๐ฃ๏ธ Sage said: "It's normal that people lose patience when you lose, because everybody wants to win." He added: "The noise is the consequence of the result of the team, and at the moment we don't have what we expect." On his future, he said that was for "the chairman, to the owners."
๐ Sage signed a three-year deal four months ago to replace Oliver Glasner, who won three trophies including the FA Cup. Football365's sack race on 29 October put him second behind Carrick, citing reports of boardroom unease over his selections and tactics.
๐ By the numbers
โข League record: 5 defeats in 8, 7 points
โข Goals conceded: 19 (most in the division)
โข Last two games: lost 5-0 at Brighton, lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle
โข Contract: three years, signed four months ago
๐ญ Why it matters
Palace go to Tottenham on 31 October and host Liverpool on 8 November, two in-form sides that could decide Sage's fate. Newcastle, meanwhile, earned their first win in three and first clean sheet since August to climb to seventh.
