Originally posted by steve1984 The last two called upon to play and did enough to retain their places? Obviously totally different league and quality to us, but quite similar to Man City's situation - have 4 CBs who all push for a spot in Stones, Otemendi, Laporte and Kompany. Pep manages to keep them all happy. I'd play Kelly & Sakho next week. Why drop the most recent successful partnership? I love Tomkins, but that's just how it goes.

It�s a funny old game. A couple of those Leicester chances go in and it�s doom and gloom and Roy out. Fine margins. However we have to be realistic, we had one shot on target. When you take 3 points after having 1 shot on target then you were lucky. We deserve some luck but once again we were ineffective coming forward. Far too many short passes around their box which broke down 95% of the time. I assume the players are being told to play that way, but once we have a proper striker leading the line, whoever that may be, we must play more direct and get more balls into the box. And for the love of God and all things holy, have a bloody shot! Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Originally posted by billtheglazier Kelly was very good but I sometimes feel Andros doesnt get the praise he deserves..works like a Trojan Not one of Jimmy Macs best. Nice to have a little breathing space. Meyer is getting better game by game and has the potential to fill the gap left by Cabaye quite soon. McArthur was MoTM according to BBC Sport. Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Agreed, Ayew was dire. Released on several occasions: wasted opportunities. Originally posted by chateauferret Ayew was not bang average. He was complete toilet. Lots of good performances elsewhere to shut out what was on paper a decent-looking attack. And the beat goes on.

I was there and thought Townsend was man of the match. AWB played very well too as did Kouyate.
