Missed the second half but we started the game really well. Dominated them early on but they were sitting back and just couldn't get close. The movement and passing just seemed to get worse as the half went on. We really need more dynamic players and players who can play under pressure better. When Palace started pressing you could see it was making some of our players uncomfortable.
The ref was dreadful, their players were just getting away with foul after foul. Really disappointed that Auba is going to miss three games, I've seen a clip of the foul and it is a definite red card. Don't think he went to harm him, just got badly done by Meyer's quick feet.

I thought Pepe was really poor, basically killed any moves that went through him.
He really cocked up some great moves in the first half, should have made it 2-0. I'm trying to support the guy but he's really way off what we need right now. He almost at times comes across as such a raw player, which is not what you'd expect considering how much he cost. Heard he hit the post in the 2nd half but don't know how he performed.
