Dinghy · Feb 4, 2023

If we had a decent striker we'd look so much better.

Sorry, forgot we can’t criticize shit performances

calodo2003 · Feb 4, 2023

Where the feck is Martial?

mu4c_20le · Feb 4, 2023

Palace have been pretty lethargic to be fair. We've been in complete control so need to kill the game off as soon as second half startgs.

Dazzmondo · Feb 4, 2023

Wonder if Sancho could help bring a bit more creativity? Really not creating enough chances in good areas today. Despite AWB doing better and trying his best I still think we lose a lot when we don't have Dalot on that right side.

Stop moaning about Antony, he didn't have space on that counter ffs, people are now automatically moaning about him no matter the context.

He had space if he would use his right foot. He closed himself in by having to come inside again.

Missed the first half. How have we been?

DWelbz19 · Feb 4, 2023

Good first 10-15 then it went a bit flat. Need to kill it off early in the second

It's a day ending in -y so he's injured.

Jam · Feb 4, 2023

Should have killed it in the early dominant spell.

Really can't be arsed with a lackluster second half and an 82nd minute equalizer. Heads back on please.

stu_1992 · Feb 4, 2023

Okay first half. Struggled to create anything of real quality despite the control. Perhaps missing Eriksen.

HookedOnAPhelan · Feb 4, 2023

Genuinely fecking amazed by the shit people are giving Antony. I know I shouldn't be, but I still am.

Someone · Feb 4, 2023

We're dominating but it's a bit frustrating how toothless we're up front sometimes. Not happy with Antony at all, think he's slowing down all our attacks and still poses no threat. Rashford can do better, and WW works hard but isn't offering much.

Hopefully we'll see Sancho and Garnacho sometime in the 2nd half.

bosskeano · Feb 4, 2023

the press and counter press has been very pronounced today....brilliant job so far in that fashion

need to get a bit more from Wout to occupy the two center halves so rashford can find space in behind with his pace

Djemba-Djemba · Feb 4, 2023

Frustrating first half really.

We looked great the first 20 minutes but it faded out

Need to create more

Dannn411 · Feb 4, 2023

Sancho for Antony. Garnacho for Weghorst, move Rashford up top. Those two are killing every half decent build up we have.

ThinkTank@Cafe · Feb 4, 2023

Sabitzer on please. We can't pass the centre with this combo.

Strelok · Feb 4, 2023

Not a bad half but we'd need a bit more creativity here imo.

NLunited · Feb 4, 2023

We need to stay composed and hit them in transition for second goal with more speed.

Martial shouda been playing. We never get a solid run of games out of him, time to upgrade on him.

James35 · Feb 4, 2023

Hopefully we won’t drop points again with wasted passes and lack of creativity. I would like Sancho to come on for Anthony and Rashford tidy up his play a bit and we should be fine.

pascell · Feb 4, 2023

Playing like individuals too much in attack. That Rashford volley should've been fed into Bruno who would've been clean through, then Antony killed that counter with his reluctance to release the ball.

Don't be that harsh on yourself mate.

RexHamilton · Feb 4, 2023

They’ll be buoyed by the fact that they’re only one down. We need a second before it starts to drag on

M Bison · Feb 4, 2023

Wow that was a dull half.

Difficult to say too much either way, nothing bad not a lot of good stuff either, goal aside.

acnumber9 · Feb 4, 2023

Ramshock said:
Yeah someone at the ripe old age of...checks...22...should know better.

At what age can we expect a player to pass the ball with their weak foot occasionally?

I think fans have this default criticize mode with Antony. Keeping the ball when you're outnumbered and isolation is never a bad thing

but failing to take on the last defender time and again and failing to provide any crosses into the box is simply not good enough.
The primary function of a winger is deliver crosses into the box.
Anthony seems incapable of this, AWB is actually delivering more of an attacking threat.

not sure why antony cut back considering he didn't really have much help on that counter....he just needs to run at the defender and see what he can create

Keep possession? Can’t see him taking on 3 players and scoring as long term +ev.
I’m glad that seems to have been coached out of Rashford

El Jefe · Feb 4, 2023

That was an ugly first half. Only positives are the score and our pressing we looked really good at that.

We will continue to struggle to score goals with Antony and Weghorst in the lineup. Antony is the most toothless creative player I've seen in a while and Weghorst is slow as feck with balls in behind.

Chip · Feb 4, 2023

Antony is so underwhelming, and it's quite obvious how mediocre Weghorst is.

bond19821982 · Feb 4, 2023

Our defence is solid. That's it. Snooze fest !

Hugh Jass · Feb 4, 2023

Proper striker and we would have more.

Really need to kill this game off. Dont want a late equalizer from palace.

laughtersassassin · Feb 4, 2023

We need a second for sure.

We won't win this 1-0

Started very well, Palace were just about hanging on. But we've not really made many chances since we went ahead and Palace are slowly growing into the game.

Teja · Feb 4, 2023

They started finding space towards the end of the half and got into some good situations although we defended those.

Need another goal to kill it off.

Pscholes18 · Feb 4, 2023

Only first season but really want this club to get to the point of moving the ball around like his Ajax team did.

The Hilton · Feb 4, 2023

Pass the fckn ball Antony

To who? He was surrounded by 3 Palace players with only Weghorst in the box, who was marked by 2.

He was on his own, held up the ball, and won a free kick, nothing much to criticise beyond him not having the pace to beat his 3 markers, the two in the box, and then the keeper.

Im always harsh on myself, but in this case I dont have an issue with Rashford. Smells a bit UKIPy all the shit he gets to be honest.

True. We should appreciate the run he made and how he kept the ball.

Dempsey19 · Feb 4, 2023

Dominating but terrible decision making up front.

Olise freekick in last few minutes so.

mav_9me · Feb 4, 2023

Just saw the real time replay of the handball. The ref needs some kind of punishment for missing that in real time. Abysmal refereeing.
