Dann could have had a hat trick instead. Football is a funny game.

1-0 Burnley FT. de Boer on the verge of getting sacked.
Gonzo
Burnley definitely rode their luck in that game. Palace were very unlucky, and I felt they looked better in a 433.
Really doesn't deserve to get sacked. Only 4 games, and against Burnley they were by far the better team.
Based on that performance, De Boer doesn't deserve to be sacked.
Their next league games
Southampton H
Man City A
Man Utd A
Chelsea H
De Boer definitely needs a result v Southampton.

He's an arsenal fan, losing four on the bounce is punishable by death to them.
Yeah, the fact is that de Boer needs time. Is Palace owner gonna give him it?
Christ, thats brutal
Bloke on Sky just said that Rafa is not there because he was "not fit enough to travel". What?
He's had hernia surgery. 'Not fit enough to travel' is one way to explain it.
Must've been laughing at the 5-0.
They said earlier there had been complications after the operation.
I'd love it if he turned up at St James Park with a full head of hair, the "hernia surgery" was a big lie and he'd been to Conte's hair doctor.
Hoping for a Swansea win.
Slick midfield for Swansea.
On paper that is.
On paper that is.
Not the best of freekicks.
de Boer
de Boer eh? More like de Bore.
De Boer needs to go back and help out at Ajax or the Netherlands setup he is out of his depth in the PL.
Did you watch the game? Palace were the better side by some way.
Sanches is stinking up the place! Wake up, ffs.
5 minutes into his first ever Premier League game. Calm down.
Ouch. Bet that hurt.
I did...he wont make headway playing total football with a Big Sam side though.
Tbf 5 minutes is a lifetime for the Cafites.
Worst five minutes ever.
He did alter his stye for this game. Changed formation and they did play in a more 'English' fashion - quite a few long balls up to Benteke e.t.c. - whilst also playing some nice stuff on the ground.
My argument wasn't who was getting the most points. More about how you get em
WBA are the team that I would be less inclined to want to play.
Brighton like them.
Another boring game.
Anyone else thing Joselu looks like Viktor Troicki?
It is.
Swansea love going backwards.
Sanches has been awful. First game or not! He has failed to get the basics right, which is a simple five yard pass and how to control a ball.
First a comical clearance, then a comical shot.First a comical clearance, then a comical shot.
Heard Mike Ashley just didn't want to buy him two bus tickets.
3 points from 24 surely won't be enough to save him though. Thankfully they've got Bournemouth to keep them company but they'll be cut adrift soon at this rate.
