Similarly to Burnley, Palace tried to come out super quickly and punch us in the mouth. Seemed every ref decision went their way, every deflected ball fell to a Palace player, and of course Zaha morphs into God-form Messi against us.

But about 25 mins onward we took control and dominated. 

Barkley wasn't poor here but he put us in danger several times on the counter due to loose touches or square passes across the middle. For me, this is the sort of opponent Kovacic needs to start instead. Much better close control and in tight spaces.

Great summation. Slack paases from Barkley, Kante, and Azpi are my main issues. And that shit offsides call.

The scary thing is that the underlying statistics and metrics suggest that they are even better than last year.

You knew would happen. Defence went walkies! 

[Vesper 30,100]

that offside call may really fuck us badly, grrrrr

surely we can knock in 2 more or so

[LAM09 7,043]

That's what happens when you don't kill a game off and have some players coasting. Hazard and RLC should be brought on

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

To be fair that was always gonna happen. We would have always needed more than 1 goal to get the 3 points.

Hazard for Willian, Kovacic for Kante.
