The second very frustrating watch in 3 days. For all the possession we had, we looked toothless around the opposition penalty area and it was always going to take another wonder goal for us to find the net. It certainly wasn't going to come from a corner.

Yes, poor you, at least we can now open the whisky bottle and get some lift from that whereas all you got to look forward to is breakfast and a sleepy Sunday!

Would Liverpool have got that penalty?

That has to be one of the worst games I’ve ever seen, and I was there in the mid- eighties!!

Dominated large parts of the game but slow in possession and created absolutely nothing. Neither side demonstrated any quality on the ball. Only positive being the clean sheet.

The blame for this sits with Vieira. I understand starting Ayew in away games to offer more support to Ward, however, it was clear Brentford offered little going forward. Subs were needed much earlier to give them a chance to impact the game.
2 points from these last two games is piss poor. Minimum was 4. Saints managed 4 points from Spurs and Utd away so our 2 against Norwich and Brentford looks pathetic.
Next up are Chelsea, Burnley & Watford. 6 points or we are bang in trouble.

Another piss poor performance against an out of form club. I think we played worst today than the 1st. half against Norwich, which is saying something. Why the heck does Wilf need 10 touches for a ball that can be played in 2! Another 2 points dropped, FFS !

Still toothless.
Edouard proves that my nan could have been a prolific striker in Scotland.

What I watched was two similar sides out there.
We might have the edge on talent but we are too slow in transition of play to catch hard working sides out at the moment. Without that fast transition it's not going to happen at this level.

No cutting edge at all.
No threat at all at corners,Brentford got their head to every ball.
Vieira clearly prefers Mateta over Benteke and I for one cannot fathom this out at all.
Zaha very disappointing and offered precious little but the same could be said for some other players.

well it was a awful game , we have played brentford twice both games was nothing to write home about ,
Edouard is not the striker that alot hoped , we had alot of the ball but no final ball , we have played well in last couple of games but not winning (dont include todays game) ,
just put it down as a bad day at the office for both teams ,

Well that's two hours of my life I will never get back. Can't blame Vieira, we dominated but are passing in the last third was just terrible. No link up, simple passes going astray, and our heading at corners was non existent. That's down to the players.

Haha. Definitely.
Loved the commentary. ‘Would have been a free kick outside the area but not a panalty’ !!!

A valuable point, but as has been said we really should be getting three from this and the Norwich game. Uninspiring but unsurprising. All things considered, had draw written all over it.

I've placed a 'lay' bet on 0-0 for every Palace game this season and have made a tidy sum by doing so. I had a premonition or perhaps a fear about 0-0 today so I left it alone. I'm therefore obviously happy that I didn't put the usual bet on, but would have preferred a Palace win. A point is a point, but I tend to draw comfort from Palace's performances more than from their results....and today's was terrible. I just don't understand how we can have Liverpool at sixes and sevens for a sustained period, but can't do anything against Norwich and Brentford. It's 'typical Palace' I suppose.

I don't mean to start a Mateta moan but that was £10 million wasted which could have gone to buy a better but more expensive player. He is just too immobile, worse than Benteke. The final cross, from Ward I think, just needed someone to move towards it.

Would like Vieira to be honest and confirm what we all saw in his post-match interview- a dreadful performance. The only plus was the clean sheet.
