1-1 FT

2 points dropped really. Liverpool will absolutely smash Fulham later and go 2 points clear heading into the game on Wednesday, where we go up against a team that hasn't lost at home in the league for 3 years and a place we haven't won in nearly a decade.

Royally pissed off.

We cannot pretend Palace didn't turn up and earn that point, tho.

They did.

Only two points dropped if we tonked them and didn't take all our many chances.

Wasn't like that.

They ran the second half.
 
jose got it wrong today. We didnt park the bus as ppl are saying we did, we stopped attacking but did not adopt a deep compact shape and properly park the bus like we did previous games.

worst choice. Either properly park the bus or go for the kill. Not a half way house. Yes, their goalkeeper pulled off several world class saves but we got what we deserved.

Yeah like I said, this is the game where we’d drop points before, we’re doing the same now. Not gonna blame Mourinho but I suspect he instructed the team to sit back at 1-0. Really stupid, we showed we can play football like we did until we scored the goal and after they scored the equalizer.

Based on how we played the first 35 minutes of the second half I don't think it's really a question that he told them to. Dier heads that ball in and we probably win 2-1, but he didn't, and Mou can't count on us burying every single change we get.

Weren't defending well, not too many chances on the counter. If Mourinho had made the change he made after the goal in the 70th minute, both in terms of attacking and personnel, it may have led to a second for us before Palace scored.

If every single poster on this forum could see that they were going to score, how come Mou didn't until after it happened?

They were creating chance after chance, we HAD to push them back or this was inevitable.

100% on the manager, two points dropped.

Yes, totally agree. but Mou mistakes 'chance' for design. If we would have held out it would have gone according to his design but the truth of the matter is we would have gotten lucky because they created enough to be good value for this point. Rancid shit.
 
It's not a terrible point by any means, Palace were fired up like nothing I've ever seen from them and would have caused anyone in the league a ton of problems today with their attackers.
Hugo's fluffed one and their keepers made 4 world class saves.

It's always these London derbies that come back to bite us, Palace, West Ham these cunts always call it on against us, its infuriating but its part of being a London club, let's hope they do similar when our rivals go there.

Also. The ref was heavily influenced by their 2,000 who tbf to them sounded like 30,000

Let's not get melty, go to Anfield and not get beat and we are still on this great run.
