I think Palace may be 'on the beach' after excellent performances Vs Liverpool and West Ham. Or they might do the same again.

Difficult to predict.

Enjoyed this interview with AG. Hated him at Everton but my opinion has certainly changed. Decent sort.

Thanks, gonna listen to this now!

It's a top drawer interview, he's certainly driven and I hope he can realise his ambitions with us.

The Trent AA interview on the Overlap was good too, and it's made me see him in a different light.

[Xenoous]

Typical away performance so far, but holding on so far. Chances will come I'm sure.

[Chicken Chaser]

They've been less intensive at the end of that half and we started to find space. Our passing has been fairly poor.

[TX1]

We need to win those 50/50 balls as so far they won the most, may be some chances will happen for us in the second half especially as they have two booked.

Very poor performance so far, and Palace deservedly now in the lead.

[Chicken Chaser]

Absolutely ste. They've out pressed us again at the start and we've not been organised enough.

Can’t argue with that. Still at least manure are currently behind too.

[Chicken Chaser]

How is that not a pen?

Wow, cannot believe that decision especially with Var not giving it either.

[Xenoous]

Can't complain at this result. We deserve nothing out of this. Can't think of a reason we've been so poor.

Another terrible away performance. Not good enough. Bad tactics, energy and intensity levels not high enough.

On to the next.

[Chicken Chaser]

Completely schooled here. 2nd best all night. 1 shot on target. Longstaff had a terrible game.

Agree. He looked out of his depth. Poor passing, positioning and general game. The one chance he had he threw himself to the ground. It should have been a penalty, but the theatrics of it all meant it wasn't given.

Dropped for the next game.

Was that him that lost the ball in midfield before the second goal as could not make out who it was ?

[ellroy]

Awful. Just awful.

I think the initial mistake was Murphy?

[Skyedriver]

Waited up to watch the half hour highlights.
Wished I hadn't.
Was it really that bad?
Wondered if Sky had biased the coverage.
Palace seemed constantly on the attack, we looked lost.

About sums it up.

[fathomfive]

Well that's ste.

[toon10]

We deserved to lose. That said, that was a pen all day long. I thought we might turn up last night because we had more time in between games but we looked tired and chased the game for the most part. I'm still not sure why we don't play Tino on the right, Hall on the left with Burn and Schar in the middle. Surely that has got to be a better setup?
