No one is blaming or are disgruntled with the players. The issue is with Poch thinking this is a CFC side from 04-06.

We didn't need to bring another defender on and invite pressure. Best form of defence is to attack. Mudryk & Madueke rotting on the bench. A coward's approach. These are such moments that set managers apart.

Five at the back with 20 minutes remaining, and Poch has used all the sub windows (only brought on three players). Why on earth change something that was working? Nkunku and Enzo/Jackson moment.

We've had countless chances to wrap this game up. It's almost like the game at the Bridge, but both sides are struggling to score.

The play from Palmer to get by his man.... We have to get a second soon, if we want to win.

If we continue to play smart, we'll have more and more chances to punish City when they push for an equaliser. Their high line is asking for trouble.

We FINALLY punish them. That backheel from Jackson was class.

If he's smart, he'll reject them. He's already done his bit in Ligue 1, and he expressed his desire to play in the PL. If our board is willing to meet Napoli's valuation, I can only see him joining us.

When did this become a thing? I thought the new CL set up meant fifth place was the intentional target. I'm sure the exit fee will be the same regardless of when it happens. If we're being sensible and not stupid (reappointing Mou or Conte), an interim manager wouldn't be the worst thing considering how it's worked out in the past.

Exactly! 11 players play against another 11 players. A prime example of that was the game at the Bridge, where we were arguably unlucky not to come away with all three points. If we aren't building towards anything in terms of style or momentum, what's he still doing here?

It won't mean much if we get torn apart against City, though. We actually need to build on something if our board has any faith in the man they appointed as the long-term answer.

It felt like Palace were our bogey side not so long ago. That was our thirteenth consecutive league win against them, a new club record. That aside, this result covers more cracks. City next will be interesting.

The fact we're 24 games into the season and just reclaiming a place in the top half of the table. How expectations have fallen.

So jammy! Palmer coolness is second to none. Midfielders banging in goals.

As someone else mentioned, Lamps, is that you?

It's honestly a revolving door with regards to injuries. Colwill isn't fully fit and has to be called upon.

Gallagher with two in two. If he can actually keep this up, his place might make some sense. Look at Poch's celebration, though...

We are a carbon copy of our manager- lifeless.

Madueke and Caicedo with their best Chuckle brothers impression, and Disasi with his hands behind his back. We have even been bad for the opening 30 mins, we've been abysmal.

Is there a reason why all the team seems to go up for corners, leaving us wide open if there's a turnover?

I'm hoping it's solely based on his fitness. When he's up to speed, Gallagher ought to be taking his place on the bench.

We tend to play up or down to the level of the opposition, most of the time. If Poch keeps a similar XI to the one fielded against Villa, we SHOULD win without much trouble. However, as we all know, there's nothing certain as far as this club is concerned.

Let's not give a heavily depleted Palace side a reason to reconsider sacking an underperforming manager.

When Dier is starting, you shouldn't expect much else.

We lost to Leicester, too. The opposition doesn't even matter at this point; you can't just manifest a winning mentality.
