It's the ball in that needs most work.

That and a lack of threat from set pieces. Only Mori and Lukaku have a powerful header in them. Naismith if there can be a threat but other than that there is no one who makes a good run or leaps up like Cahill.

Pardew being interviewed next, bet he say's they deserved to win the game, and we didn't trouble them.

Really good game between two good sides.

Unlucky for us but Palace defended really well and are excellent on the counter attack.

Second half in particular we were excellent. Keep these team together and something good will happen for sure.

you echo my sentiments mate. Great game of football. Both teams play it in a manner that keeps us fans on the edge of our seats. And still 23 games to go...

Pardew says its fair result

Why

Pacman · December 7, 2015

Just sick and tired of getting my hopes up, everyone was jizzing after we got those 10 games out the way at the start we were meant to sweep sides away and march on, but the same old problems of dominating a game, not scoring then having the defence fall to pieces is still happening.

The amount of times Barkley and Kone could have a crack but turn and automatically look for a pass winds me up. Not the worst result but the bournmouth cock up shows exactly why we ain't finishing in the top 6 this season. We are the biggest nearly rans around.

Out of the current top 8 we haven't beaten any of them this season, just really isn't good enough no matter how many points we are off 6th, we ain't getting it if we don't capitalise when our rivals slip up.

I'd settle for getting it onto an Everton head. That's something to build on.

None of them are must wins. We're gonna finish mid table. Doesn't seem to matter either way.

Huge opportunity after the weekend results and we don't take it.

Everton that.

Aye but it wasn't through lack of trying.

Pardew - utter walloper.

You got a football lesson you nobhead.

I think Palace are big danger up round those European places this season. Very solid teams and dangerous with it.

Likewise ourselves, when we step it there's few teams that can handle us.

Just need a run of wins now but play like that over two legs against City and I wouldn't be too worried.

Pulis says it was a fair result, give over Tony FFS, sh!thouse tactics, you were played off the park, but for the woodwork you'd have got what you deserved, nothing.

Palace reminded me a bit of us under Moyes. And I mean that respectfully despite my disliking of the ginger one. Quite a workmanlike team from an attacking perspective, built around 2-3 quality players. Defend well, good on set plays and can play too.
