I think we can sneak in one more before HT

I have no clue why this team would try to be so brave against us. It’s inevitable that we will cut them up. Just play like Fulham and Everton.

    goon we should be a bit more
    controll-y if rice or jorginho come on

      My god, that control and pass by MLS. And it’s not the first time

      Claudius is it inevitable? we're not exactly a counter attacking powerhouse. think palace played us well considering our line up. despite the scoreline they've kept us off balance most of the half

          5mins added time, let's not cencede and give them hope

          Argh good attack there

          We're struggling with their press. They'll get tired and we can score a couple more. We have to get a couple, not feeling confident with our defense today

          Gazza M no. It’s not about counter attacking end to end. But what you have with Palace is a team with massive spaces between their players. Once we get the ball, this is exactly the type of opposition we look to pass around.

              Claudius I mentioned it up thread, but a high press was the smart play today for palace, and we looked shaky for large parts of the half. our goals didnt come from picking through the spaces they're leaving either. regardless, we're 3-1 up now so we can and should probably pick them off from here

                Gabriel with a weak header, created that chance for Palace.. Raya with a good save.

                This is a great game of football.

                Mateta elbows MLS but it's all okay cos it's vs us, no need for VAr

                Mateta is having a grand old time against us. Good save frmo Raya, and good save on the headed rebound.

                we're the ones leaving the spaces today. midfield has been AWOL all game. bring on rice if he's fit enough
