Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?
98% pass accuracy against Wolfsburg. Pretty decent lastminute clearing in the same game. Not all bad so far.

Be as that may it wasn't Distin or Jags who cost us today. It was our senior pros in Howard and Osman making daft errors that were punished accordingly.

And yes, we are missing Ross Barkley a whole stonking lot. He is so incredibly important to us, and his injury was, and still is, an absolute disaster.

Did Warnock instruct his lads to wait for our players to cock up?
They had 3 shots on target all game
We had 79% of the ball so I would say we controlled the game pretty well, We had plenty of chances to win the game
Fact is if certain players don't make stupid errors we win that game easily

Howard made a mess of it, Campbell should be getting nowhere near scoring, pathetic keeping from Howard today, he had two massive brain fades, he's always got those mistakes in him, its why Utd got rid of him, top keeper one game, making howlers the next.

No I said all along we would lose today always does when we have a big chance to lay a marker.

No Knee Jerking from my stance.
But the responsibility for our loss stands with Howard, and Martinez, two seasons on the run, Palace have came with a plan, and they stuck to it perfectly, why we cannot mark, or even track Bolasie is a mystery to me.
Why Howard has poor communication, i don't know, but in several instances today, Distin booted the ball into touch, when in reality Howard could have claimed. For the penalty, again Howards communication was lacking, and Stones tried to shield it off waiting for him to come, he never, and then went in rash, similar to Sunderland last season, lucky not to be sent off too, and subsequently miss the derby.
But my major gripe definitely stands with Martinez taking off a defender, and changing that by putting an untested holding midfielder in his place, Palace were onto it straight away, and for Bolasie's goal, it's solely McCarthy's fault, but he's out of his depth there, why was he there to begin with?
It's evident Mirallas isn't going to play on Tuesday, so why not start him, 3 games in 14 days is something a pro footballer should be able to handle for me, personally, not that Atsu had a particularly bad game by any instance.
Everyone can moan at Lukaku too, but at the end of the day, he's on the pitch to score goals, and he did that today, if he scores/assists in a goal a game until the end of the season, that's a contribution to 38 goals, and we'd all be made up with that, so i find it hard to criticise, when in reality, he's technically done his job, by scoring.
Either way, poor performance, means poor result, Palace turned up with a plan, and exposed us, not getting a second killed us, and any momentum from Wolfsburg has been lost sadly. Kids on Tuesday, Huge expectation on Saturday, lets hope for a big week.

On and on, over the hill and the craic is good
Agreed, all I want ATM if Seamus isn't playing is a defender who can do that

Great. And they still had 27 shots and our keeper was MOM. Says more than his sideways passing.
Well forget the last 5 league games where he's been terrible.

We hardly needed to batten down the hatches today. They barely had the ball, we just self destructed.
I just wish he was given a chance. He's this season's Deulofeu in the sense that Martinez refuses to play him early on.

Well, that was dreadful. Osman should never start again. His ball retention is awful, & has virtually no strength. The midfield were so terrified of the ball they'd hide behind palace players. Force us wide, double up, & we'd lose possession. Well done @Alan Whittle your team played exactly the same tactics as last year,& it worked again.
Martinez hang your head in shame, crap tactics, poor line up, mirallas on too late. It'll shut up the belters who think we'll stroll it at analfield.

Have we conceded a goal this Season were a team has genuinely had to work to get it? Handing teams goals by the barrel full us.
