He's even created an opportunity to take a shot for himself.

Any more of this abject boring play and I will seriously think about giving my season ticket away.Us supporters were bored rigid at home last season, had to endure total and utter dross and it appears nothing will change.No entertainment or excitement at all.

Don’t rub it in Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I would love to know what the point of training is because at the moment there's not one person out there that appears to have a clue what to do. There are at least five that are stealing a wage.

Seriously how can anyone use Benteke in a sentence in this game the service to him up top from wide positions is dreadful the poor guy has no support the performance from the team is dreadful. I am watching from the Florida and even the commentators here are saying they feel so sorry for Benteke as he gets so much stick in return for very little service. When will people understand that strikers need service to score goals and in that first half what service have we delivered. Come on if you are going to criticise then let’s be realistic in our criticism.

Another season of this then. Void of creativity and conviction. Holding out for the draw or the 1-0. A combination of unambiguous signings, selling and not having replacements and a manager who thinks “oh s***, this isn’t working, well I’ll just keep trying the same thing until it does”. Be inventive Roy! Same poor show, wouldn’t expect anything less at this point. Maybe we will have the classic palace second half and get going, but who knows

Zaha seems to have given more balls to the opposition than to our players....... is this the shape of things to come? A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

The cold, hard reality of what the season will likely be like, but then with Roy's apparently uninspiring approach to the season should we be surprised. A season of holding out for draws.

The only thing is, if you were to go back to threads on most of the away games last season you'd probably be reading exactly the same thing at half-time - how awful we are, can't pass, Benteke woeful, Hodgson out, etc. And then , somehow we get the break in the 2nd half and run out winners...so don't give up yet.

Do feel for the guy but he needs to be more aggressive and dig in
