Thought we were our own worst enemy at times, bizarre mistakes and a total lack of composure early stages of second half which gave them opportunities with Pickford making up for that poor error.

On the flip side I thought the first goal was brilliant, a tight area and Walcott does great to create space for himself and Bernard with a lovely first time finish. Richarlison is improving all the time and his goal speaks for itself, good to see DCL being more aware with a goal poaching instinct. A good three points. :-)
 

Take aways from today;

1. Pickford just isn't good enough. Yes he can make a worldie but his level of consistency is poor. Needs to be replaced.

2. Not convinced at all about the experiment of Sidibe playing right midfield.

3. Carlo might just get a tune out of Schneiderlin

4. Richarlison is the only player that we have with X factor.

5. We dodged a bullet not signing Zaha .

6. Palace are absolutely woeful.
Richarlison's goal wouldn't have happened if Dom missed the flick ,I thought it was superb , the lad is showing what a manager who has the respect Carlo has can do for players yet to reach their optimum performance .
 
Didnt really see the masterclass some are referring to with Schneiderlin today? Thought he was average and Sigurdsson anonymous bar fouls and safe passes.

Not agenda driven, didnt see anything 'wow'...
No he certainly wasn't outstanding , but he was much better than "normal " , however that is a very low bar.

One very good crossfield pass and put himelf about a lot more than usual.

Be grateful for small mercies

Yep, imagine being told you’re crap by BFS or Silva, and then being told you’re great by one of the finest managers in the world...confidence boost doesn’t really do it justice.......
 

Coleman doing a job on Zaha was great.
Concerned with injuries to Bernard and Walcot although Bernard, only looks like a kick, but there's 2 wingers we carnt loose at the same time; break coming at right time.
Richo just needs a moment and nothing more and he is away.
Pickfords post match interview on BT, lad better just not to talk let somebody else do the interviews, even had Calvert-Lewin shaking his head (who speaks well BTW).
 
Carlo said it pre match, he has just those three midfielders available to choose from.......

Yup. Awful group to choice from.

Problem is Gomes is going toneed time to get up to speed, blues are gonna expect him to be on the ball every two seconds and it's gonna be a major let down.
 
Massive games now those 4... 7-9 points and we'll be in a battle for 4th.

Chelsea have a game in hand...lets say theyre 8pts ahead.

I reckon if we had held on vs newcastle then 6pts gives us a glimmer but if chelsea can win then 8pts leaves us needing a miracle.

I think we would need to beat Arsenal, United and Chelsea to have any hope of 4th and then we would have the RS game...
