Different set ups by opponents.

Teams like Palace are big, physical and want to halt momentum at all costs. Which disrupts the way we want to play. Mix that in with our intensity not being there and it's a recipe for disaster. These sort of games don't happen often so it's hard to replicate this sort of thing in training and can only hope to learn from the experience. Which we should.

City, whilst much better than Palace at football things, are much more of a suited opponent to the way we play. Not in terms of us dominating proceedings but they want to actually play football.

I said after West Ham that we had Palace, City and Villa upcoming but Palace was the one game I was worried about most because of the narrative and the early kick off away at a tough ground (regardless of their form).

I also think its a mentality thing. We took palace for granted because we should be beating them. Need consistency esp away from home
