Happy with that point considering how we started. Unlucky with the penalty but it’s just one of those things. Not sure why Mateta starts but I’m sure Vieira has his reasons.

the Palace way is to win at the Etihad or Old Trafford and then struggle at Millwall

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

Great goal from Zaha.

I thought ref didn’t help him when he was waiting to take penalty. He was chatting merrily away to someone for over 30 secs. Must have put Zaha off a bit. Having said that Zaha’s run up was at a strange angle before he slipped. Keep it simple.

A valuable point though.

The beatings will stop when morale improves.

How frustrating was that. We dominated possession against a poor Norwich team and yet we couldn't kill the game off.

We seem to have lost the ability to eke out a win. There is no doubt that our football is much easier on the eye than under Hodgson, but, Viera does have a better squad. We have now played 23 games and have a meagre 5 wins. We were in a better position this time last season.

So what is the problem? It does seem to me that our attacking build up is slow and this allows the opposition time to get men behind the ball and close down the space that might have been there had we gone forward with greater pace. Also, although we have three central strikers at our disposal, none of them display a real killer instinct.

I was impressed with Zaha’s performance tonight. Didn’t look a million miles away from his best.. Maybe being away with his national team did him good.

His one last time looked pretty flaky too.....perhaps he's just not cut out to be a penalty taker.
