Gallagher is just...he is a raw talent Jonny Williams!

He plays like a madman, he is going to get us goals and red cards! Totally worth it though...

Agreed. The only problem is that we're not seeing that many chances created.

Other than Gallagher early on, I can't recall a single shot from Zaha, Benteke or Schlupp... And they're meant to be our forward players!!!

I don't think many have played well thus far other than our two CBs, Gallagher, McArthur and Guaita.

Wing play is severely lacking and not dynamic enough. Benteke hold up play has been poor too.

Hopefully better all-round second half and whip in some crosses to get Benteke on the end of

Kouyate looks a little off the pace. Mitchell proving again he’s not going to make it in the Prem because to me it’s crystal clear he’s not got enough ability on the ball.

This passing out from the back is shocking. There needs to be a plan B if only to keep the opposition guessing. We look so easy to play against right now. The problem is unless everyone is good enough to do it then you are at risk of being caught out and I’d say the vast majority are not good enough to play out from the back.

Wilf is wasteful. Apart from a few nice moments we are again the 2nd best team on the pitch so far and for me vs Brentford I’d like to expect more but I don’t think I ever really did.

Connor Gallagher having a decent game.

Whatever happens, its fair to say that this is the type of football you all wanted!

Think our subs bench sums it up. Only 8 named when you can have 9. Two of which are GKs.

We need another 3-5 players to fill the squad and give some real competition.

I think Brentford will easily stay up this season but we are being outplayed by a newly promoted team and very little way to change it with our bench options.

Kouyate continues after the break!!!

Does the manager wants to make sure tha we loose???

Not quite sure how you can have a go at Benteke here but okay.
Ain’t done much wrong ain’t had any opportunities.

Benteke does not anticipate and run in to spaces, all he can do is head the ball and nearly always to the opposition he has just not got it anymore if he ever had it over the last four years, totally wrong type of striker if your playing out from the back as we are trying to do!

Has anyone actually crossed the ball for Benteke to head yet ?

Kouyata - worst half I have seen from a Palace player in 25 - 30 years.

Whether on or off the ball, a constant threat - against Palace.

Unthinkable he continues - must be impossible to find a worse player in our squad - or any league squad really...

Silliest comment for 25 - 30 years, and that’s saying something.

What they heck do you want him to do…? Magic a goal from thin air?

we want Benteke to score more than one goal per thousand minutes of playing time.

Clinton Morrison on sky said Benteke should have done better.

Then again, Clinton was brilliant in front of goal.

Just for the record, it was Ward putting the cross in.

Over to Wilf so. Sounds like we need a bit of magic.
