0-0 Boring

Worrying as they're not great, but a much better side would've destroyed us today. Thank God for Tarik.

David Sage Brent set up Palace pretty effectively.

A few nice touches from Bahoya, and more skill than anyone in a white shirt has shown today in his 90 second cameo.

The only positive from today is we remain unbeaten.
Palace were the better side. Three brilliant tackles saved almost certain goals.
DCL had our best chance. He should have scored but it was a very good save

That was rubbish, especially considering Palace played a hard game n Europe less than three days ago.
Bahoya contributed more in 90 seconds than Aaronson did (as usual!) in 25+ minutes (and James too to be fair).

Bahoya needs to start more often
Very lucky we did not lose this one.

Sucks though crystal palace have been battered by everyone else this season!

PS i hope today shows without doubt Dan James is utter crap - Man Utd got rid of him many years ago when he was supposedly a wonder kid, nobody wants him, he aint good enough and he wont win you games apart from the odd being in the right place at the right time maybe once a season! (Also seems to have lost some of his pace which without that he has nothing)!

I think we stole a point tbh, very poor performance.

Arsenal will clatter us if we rock up like this at their gaff.

Stach’s dead ball situations having been off hasn’t helped but he’s allowed that as a one off 😉

That was an interesting decision...... Did think Gudmundsson was poor overall today but coming back from injury but farke must feel that bahoya is capable as a wingback. Almost worked but for a foul and a yellow to stop the counter.

Fortunate

Last minute tackles from Tarik atleast twice and Justin and Elvedi saved us

Plus a good save from Trafford

Credit to Palace, wouldn't be bullied and looked much slicker on the ball

We struggled to progress the ball and get it into meaningful areas (won't use the word but too much side to side) and a lack of crosses

DCL misses our only real chance.

Subs didn't make any difference really.

Take the point and be grateful not for the first time.

Weird how Elvedi has already usurped Bijol, but Bahoya is still behind Aaronson and James in the pecking order 🤔

On your first point - So have Coventry until yesterday. There are no easy games at this level.

We are not good enough as a team currently to consistently batter teams.
