Big save from Myles who has been very good since he came on.
Crucial block from Mengi a minute later. Palace getting close to that winner.

3-2 Palace. Very disappointing way to end the game after working so hard to get level.

We are so poor defensively - same as last year, we have learned absolutely nothing 
FT Palace 3-2 United.
Good opening 55-60 minutes from United, probably the right result in the end as Palace were much better in the second half. We had the chances in the opening half to take a bigger lead and we paid for missing those opportunities in the end, as it often happens.
Good performance from Collyer. Nothing spectacular but kept it ticking with very good passing and movement all game.
Emeran the other obvious standout for me.
Shoretire underwhelming.

The difference between Hugill & McNeill is enormous. McNeill just cannot retain the ball under pressure & offers far less in terms of pressing + running in behind. If Joe played the full 90 I do think we win that game.
Yeap. McNeill’s work rate is barely 50% of that of Hugill’s.
Mejia seems to have regained the bust of speed that he had before the whole series of injuries the past few years.
Shite this season too I see. I'm not particularly thrilled about any player in this team.
McNeill doesn't seem to have improved or kicked on a few levels in the past year or two -- despite going on loan.
A 600 goal phenom when he came back but seems to have levelled out.
We might be but I really wouldn't read much into this game at all. There's a good chance around half the players on the pitch today won't be involved at this level next month.
Becoming a bit of a running theme this.
Indeed it is.
Is Kwambala injured, not featured for the under 18 or under 21
Emeran looked very good, hope he gets a good move. Any idea why the keeper was changed ??
Also, did any of their players even get booked ??

Got injured.
Thanks for the all of the posts!
Anyone know who trialist 2 was, as what a baller, he completely changed the game for Palace. I'd imagine they'd be wanting to sign him up based on that performance.
Well deserved.
Should have signed him for our U21s based on that performance alone.
Is the weird cloak and dagger stuff where they're referred to as "Trialist" supposed to prevent that sort of thing from happening?
Considering he was at Chelsea and then Spurs if we were not familiar with his name already something must be very wrong at the academy scouting department.
I'm sure he was known to us. Just wondering why teams even bother with the "Trialist" stuff. What's the point?
