six minutes of extra time there , where the Ref managed to allow four minutes to be squandered in time wasting.

Rat2 says we are playing "pedantically" - get this inbred knob off the tv

[Mase]

Palace fans just cheered that half time whistle as if they’ve won the champions league fuckin losers!

[sheblue]

That shit continues in the 2nd half and we will loose.
Come on pep lad sort this shit out.
Sane, Silva, Sergio all shite.

[blues2win]

He just kicked the ball away. Didn’t exactly take one for the team. If it’s true cards are wiped today that’s fucking irresponsible.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Sane is having a poor day but he's just a kid! Hopefully the fans at the game are not as abusive towards him as some on here.

[Chinners]

No the best 45mins we have played this season .... Pep to sort them out at HT, come out and smash an early one in the second half and cruise to a comfortable 2-0 by the end ..... please

It's a compliment

Actually i am a little more concerned that Gundo and Silva have gone very quiet.

[london blue 2]

Sane is so petulant he needs to be pulled up on this. Three or four times in the last few matches he's completely switched off instead of chasing retrievable passes. He's acting like a bit of a cunt to be honest.

Yes Pep needs to sort something out and get us the goal as early as possible to settle the jitters. Some kind of fatigue definitely has crept in.

[phips]

no Sane, Jesus, or Silva for Watford (although i hope the latter returns). that means that none of the attacking players playing today are gonna get a rest at Watford. luckily Sterling is getting some time off right now but surely he'll come on in the 2nd half.

[KinkyKinkladze]

We're playing shite but palace are forcing us to. Really good effort from palace tbh, this is the best 45 minutes I've seen from the opposition this season who know they can't go toe to toe with us. And they're not just parking the bus either.

I really like zaha. I do wonder if he's got what it takes to be at a big club though or of he's one of them that thrives more in a small one.

I'd swap Bernie for kev. Kev's crossing could be the answer, Bernie's close control in a packed midfield could unlock gaps.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

De Briuyne is stinking the place out. Sane up there with him.
Bernard and Gundo ineffective as usual.
On the plus side,Walker is battling hard and the rest of the defence are putting in a decent effort.
Sterling needs to be on but I can't decide whether it's Bernard, Ilkay or Sane that need to go. Leroy jas been shitter than shit, but he is at least capable of doing something.

[ENIAM NAM]

2nd half will be the biggest half of football we've played for a long time if we want to keep this run going. Need the senior guys like Kdb and Aguero to step up and lead.

[bigblue]

Seeing th replay, how was that not a foul on Jesus?? Townsend only gets his knee from behind

[john@staustell]

The general plan is always that by 75 minutes they'll be completely fucked.

So here's hoping

[blues2win]

Palace only played a couple of days ago. It might start to show. Get Raheem to run at them. Fancy Sergio to score.

[zabbadabbado]

We look tired, disjointed today.

Not surprised given the fixtures are coming thick and fast.

Still not seeing what Bernado Silva brings to the team, just don’t rate himbesides a few tricks/skills he runs down blind alleys and loses the Ball a hell of a lot.

KDB still looks under the weather.

We are badly missing David Silva. Hope he sorts out his personal problem. If rumours are true, then I don’t understand why this problem wasn’t sorted at the end of this season instead of in the middle of a gruelling football fixture pile up under press scrutiny.

Winning rum is becoming a bit of Monkey on our back.

[everyonehatesus]

Sane has been shite. Keeps getting in the way and is totaly in their right backs pocket. Big changes needed to get around their high energy pressung. They will run out of pace at this level so just need to get hold of the midfield.
