Vorselaarhammer

Well I enjoyed that....

Lots of desire, seemed first to every 50/50..

A lot of nasty challenges from Palace players.

Antonio and Anderson have been excellent.

MIAHammer

We pushed our luck a few times there. Palace have beaten our offside trap a few times and needed Fabianski to save us.

We are well suited for the counter

Anderson (and Antonio) are so positive they are always going forward when offered space

Good half - decent passing and movement, and commited in the tackle. Only disappointment is that we didn't get a second. If we play like that 2nd half and give Arnie a decent run out, I think he'll score.

Expat, don't you wish you'd put a £100 on it? ;biggrin

Nah, I'm happy with that, just need him to get a second ;lol

We need an Arnie, and we need him now.

Palace are dominating us, and pouring forwards. They are leaving gaps that Arnie would love.

We are in danger of throwing this away. They’ve missed two absolute sitters.

Arnie on

Thank you, Pelle.

Fredericks has been criminal with his positioning. Played them onside so many times.

BubblesNeverDies

Fredericks needs to get up to speed with holding the offside line ;angry

thornburyiron

This has been coming.

OldCastleSwift

And it had to be the player that should be suspended ;angry

MIAHammer

That was inevitable.
To be fair we should be playing against 10 men so I do feel robbed.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Pretty obvious that was going to happen.

Bats will get the winner now.

thornburyiron

They look the most likely to score.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

We’ve completely stopped attacking this half.

BubblesNeverDies

To be fair, they have deserved it. ;yercoat

thornburyiron

We are under the cosh now

MIAHammer

Obiang is not up to the standard we need.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

So poor the way we handled this second half. Just got deeper and deeper and waited for the inevitable.

thornburyiron

That’s three successive away PL games we’ve conceded but failed to score in the second half. This half has been all Palace.

whupathman

Has arnie touched the ball yet

MIAHammer

Yet another missed opportunity to move into the top 10.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Pretty sick of watching this team to be honest.

Hamstew

Will take that point tbf. Still struggling to see much progression in this team.

whupathman

Respect the point we could have lost by a few

grey_til_I_dye

Good game.

We had the first half, but fair play to Palace, they got right back in the 2nd half, and we were probably lucky to hold on for the draw.

Take the away point and move on.
