Crystal Palace 0:2 Manchester United

Charlie Foley · Jul 16, 2020

Had Martial as our best player in that half but DDG save from the free might have pushed him into number one. Lindelof number 3.

Greenwood quiet, doesn't look 100%, and Bruno looks tired. TFM unsurprisingly looks uncomfortable playing on the wrong side after such a long time not playing. All we can ask is he be ok/"good enough" today.

Maguire should have at least 2 goals, too.

Hopefully we draw them out and our counter attack clicks a little better second half.

Got the ball no pen

Greenwood should stay on I think. He showed some nice touches even if he fluffed the goal. His pace is an asset and is definitely a better option than James ATM.

Agreed, Greenwood just needs another chance and he should finish it, James is unlikely to be in the right position, and he's unlikely to finish.

You never go full Bebe.

A place of no return

Oh shit, yeah that's a penalty

Even Rio thinks its a pen

What's all the panic about TFM, he was ok.

Everyone expects him to be bombing down the left flank like he's prime Roberto Carlos when it's his first game back in a long time and he's played out of position.

Bonkers really. He was picked to provide more height and keep our defense tight and he's doing a decent job so far.

Okey · Jul 16, 2020

We're leading but I'm officially worried. Our levels are dropping at the worst time in the season. Proper squeaky bum ending. Hope the naysayers can see the team is crying out for depth. We barely have one competent first XI. Just one player out and we drop down several levels. Big summer needed.

charlenefan · Jul 16, 2020

What the feck was Lindelof doing against Zaha, no idea how he got away with it

It’s not about motivation. Mental tiredness being totally knackered Leads to sluggish play from people of this Calibre

Think its nerves. Also today I'm noticing Shaw plays a big part in build up and progression. His final ball is shit but he's very good at progressing up the pitch.

Could be mental also. Was a very nasty challenge on him. Also a lot of praise been lavished on him recently. Not surprising to see a dip.

Very good point, fortunately he wasn't damaged like Shaw but we've seen how he was affected mentally for a long time plus like you say he's so young still he will have quieter games

El Zoido · Jul 16, 2020

Never a penalty, don’t see what the fuss is about. Not clear and obvious at all.

.Phil1968 · Jul 16, 2020

Got this on the radio they reckon it was a penalty, was it ?

Michael T · Jul 16, 2020

We really need to bang some goals in now. Starting to really worry about fatigue in our 1st eleven.

How is Fred more direct than Bruno?

Fred hoof ball to Igalo

sewey89 · Jul 16, 2020

Brilliant from rashford. Hopefully that settles the boys down and we can get an early goal in the second half.

Can’t afford to sit back and try and defend the lead again. Use the pace of the front 3 take more care with the final ball and we should win comfortably.

I must admit it looked like a penalty at first site. Lindelof got Zaha before the ball, but there was a change of direction.

Nah he got the ball first.

There's a lot of panic in general

ivaldo · Jul 16, 2020

Maybe its my bias, but I'm damn sure Lindelof touches the ball first.

Slightest touch on the ball but its a pen.
How are VAR refs missing this?

I don’t particularly rate either player but Dalot is shocking defensively, I’d rather the better defender under the circumstances

Pretty much this
We are always going to score against palace
Stop them scoring should be our defenders only job

Bobcat said:
yeah, one of our best performers this season is garbage. Wonder how you feel about Lindgard et al

Defensively, maybe so. But he has nothing to offer otherwise. His second touch is a yellow card. Everything breaks down with him on that side.

TheHeya · Jul 16, 2020

What’s the buy back price we have for Zaha? If we want squad depth then I think he could be an option.

David de Gea
Good save from Zaha and then Milivojevic. 8
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Looked fatigued and had a decent opportunity. 5
Victor Lindelof
Fair. 6
Harry Maguire
Should have done better with one of the two headed chances. 5
Timothy Fosu-Mensah
Some jittery moments but okay overall. 6
Scott McTominay
Not used the ball well and admonished by Solskjaer. 4
Paul Pogba
Used the ball prudently. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Not got into the game but got an assist. 6
Mason Greenwood
Wasted United’s best chance and sloppy. 4
Marcus Rashford
Well taken goal. 7
Anthony Martial
Made something happen out of nothing. 7

Can’t really argue except Maguire has got involved and stood up and Fosu Mensah looks like he doesn’t want to be there!

Exactly. Plus he hasn't been playing for ages.

We are so nervous when defending. Too slow and scared to take risk on attack

Pressure moment. We're either going to sink or swim.

Yagami · Jul 16, 2020

I think it should've been a pen. Lucky Lindelof, lucky us.

mu4c_20le · Jul 16, 2020

I think Pogba also had a half a penalty shout as well so it cancels it out for me.

World class composure from Rashers there

He is one of the worst CBs in the league in one on one situations

Andycoleno9 · Jul 16, 2020

Dozen games this season (ok, maybe not dozen) proved that we don't know how to park the bus. We must go for second goal and play like it is 0-0

El-Manos said:
We’re lucky so far to be honest.

How it it luck to have good players who can string together an attack like that at any moment. The other team shot straight at our keeper that doesn't make them unlucky. Makes them not good enough. So despite playing poorly so far we have the cutting edge and they don't.

Indeed. Moaning for the sake of loaning.

CP has been far more effective attacking through our right and not our left.

Ordinary saves.

Need another to be safe. I can see us leaking a goal near the end if it stays one nil.

SirScholes · Jul 16, 2020

Scrappy away game at palace, extra motivation for Zaha

we’d take a scrappy win against palace anyway any season

Disgraceful performance, these players need to look in the mirror because that was not good enough for this club!

Got the ball from behind Zaha before hitting the back of his foot

Not a pen for me, but Rio and Savage both say it was
