We had 96 minutes to get something out of this game and failed miserably. No quality up front and always trying to walk the ball in.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Ironically, we finished the game with two of Belgium's top strikers, still, they looked awful!

IMO we deserved nothing. Burnley did a Palace. Townsend absolutely awful, perhaps his media career is more important. Zee the only one who deserves credit.
If Cahill fit for bench why not play him instead of Kouyate who has played 2 Afcon games

In some ways I'd amend that statement to, when we are good we are okay. We rarely ever take control of a game and dominate possession for any period of time. Our victories often flatter us somewhat.

In our last two wins against Leeds and Fulham the opposition actually played the better football. I'm not intending to be negative but the reality is that if we want to be more consistent and maintain a top half of the table position we have to better at managing games, keeping on the ball and making the opposition work hard to regain it. As it is, and has been for ages, our passing is sub-standard and until we can improve on that we are always going to struggle to impose ourselves on games.

Tonight was a classic example of how we've been playing for the past 2-3 years. Slow, unable to pass, unable to handle pressure on the ball when we have it.

We try to hang around for 90 minutes and hope for a lucky goal from Zaha. Painful to watch. And now our clean sheets have disappeared this year.

I feel like we always in danger of going on a long losing streak, like the 7 in a row at the end of last year.

2017 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Middlesboro
2018 Jan. (Sako) Palace 1 - 0 Burnley
2019 May (Batshuayi, Batshuayi, OG, Van Aanholt, Townsend) Palace 5 - 3 Bournemouth
2020 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Newcastle

The centre backs looked shaky from the start. We need to change Kouyate, who is playing out of position and Scott Dann looks poor and out of his depth. Burnley were so much better playing out of defence and looking for an attacking pass but our centre backs either passed it back or played a square pass. But we were poor through out the team and it showed how dependent we are on Wilf.
