Wasn't conclusive at all was it, considering this they should've moved away and thought about whether Luka was preventing a goal scoring opportunity ....and he clearly wasn't, he was just having a fight with the ball all on his own.

It's about time they really sorted out this free shot on goal lark, penalties should only be awarded when a clear goal has been prevented, everything else should be a free kick in the box, too many games are decided by ridiculous moments where the ball wasn't anywhere near being banged in.

Team selection not PVs forte.

Good performance marred by sloppy moments at both ends.

If only that bicycle kick from Mateta had gone in, wow.

Luka's hand ball I think the VAR and referee are both wrong it is not a handball under the current changed law.

Whatever, it's too late now.

Really we should have had a point at least here.

Stats show that the opposition fouled us seventeen times with us fouling them only six, I wonder how many of these fouls prevented us from entering their box? so rather then having a go at our squad maybe something should be done to prevent teams from benefiting through cheating, it is time for the sin bin.

Moyes pleased with his 'strange' win.

He probably has doubts about the handball as well.

Can’t ever remember being so pleased and encouraged after a defeat. We were far better than against Norwich and I’d say it was actually one of our best performances of the season.
Ten thoughts:
1. Edouard is a dazzling talent. I’m not sure he is properly appreciated.
2. We have never felt as Wilf-proof as we do now. I still adore the guy but we can cope without him.
3. Ayew has been in incredible form lately and was superb today. Seeing him go off in tears was tough to witness. Is his Afcon dream ruined?
4. Andersen passed it like Hoddle tonight. What a player.
5. Mitchell looks tired. We lack cover at LB and that’s the only bit of Jan business we need to do.
6. Can we go a bit easier on the refs? He should have booked their left back earlier and bottled the backpass but the abuse was excessive.
7. Olise is so exciting. The way he cuts inside and delivers killer balls is great. Just what we never got from Andros.
8. We all love Joel Ward but let’s be honest - he just doesn’t offer enough going forward. We desperately need Ferguson to be the player we hope he is.
9. Luka was not as bad as everyone is saying but we miss Kouyate every time he doesn’t play.
10. Schlupp is not good enough to play for Palace.

How long did it take them to decide it was a penalty from when the incident happened.?Must have been a good 5 minutes.Then the ref kept playing it back until he decides to change his mind.

Does that point to it being inconclusive that it was a definite penalty.In the end what was Luka doing, there wasn’t a player within 5 meters of him…
