# Crystal Palace: Fans baffled by Roy Hodgson’s substitution

**Many Crystal Palace fans have lambasted a double substitution from manager Roy Hodgson during their match versus Leicester City yesterday.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”257131″\]

With Palace 1-0 down in the 78th minute, Roy Hodgson made the move to bring on Christian Benteke and James McCarthy, while taking off Jordan Ayew and James McArthur – a decision which got hounded by fans on social media.

Many fans could be seen asking about loan signing Victor Camarasa – who has made just one league appearance for Palace so far this season – when they were in need for a creative and attacking input.

The Eagles rarely failed to threaten an accomplished Leicester City side. The away team had [56 per cent of possession,](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50197728) and despite the shooting statistics being fairly even with Palace having[12 shots to their 14](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50197728), the away side were comfortable winners and never looked like getting anything other than three points after they went ahead ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50197728)).

Some fans even asked what the point is in paying Victor Camrasa’s wages with him having such little game time this season – just [five minutes](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/162/Show/England-Crystal-Palace) (WhoScored) in the league.

Here are some of the responses from fans below…

> Yeah nah no point in bringing on an attacking player like Camarassa for Macca
