A lot of Crystal Palace fans have been slating Eagles winger Andros Townsend over his performance in the south London club’s latest Premier League clash with West Ham United.
The 29-year-old started this game for Roy Hodgson’s side, as he made his 18th Premier League appearance of the 2020/21 campaign.

He helped the Eagles to get off to a bright start, per Sky Sports, as he put a couple of dangerous crosses into the box in the sixth minute.
However, his positive start to the game may not be reflective of his overall performance, as the winger was successful with neither of his two dribbles, played zero key passes, won just one of seven ground duels and lost possession of the ball on a total of 21 occasions, per SofaScore, before Hodgson decided enough was enough and replaced him with Michy Batshuayi in the 66th minute.
So, what have these Crystal Palace fans been saying about Townsend?
With that in mind, it may be understandable why plenty of Palace fans have been slating Townsend over his performance versus West Ham on Twitter.
“Townsend so useless”
“Townsend has lost possession every time he’s touched the ball. Pathetic. #cpfc”
“All Townsends good for is appealing for something that isn’t ours. Horrid footballer”
“Townsend is finished its sad but true lacks pace & just can’t get past people”
“Townsend been awful tonight”
“Impossible to win a football match without a right side to a team. Townsend and Ward completely ineffective”
“Take Townsend off he is absolutely useless”
“Townsend literally loses us the ball everytime he touches it”
