That first half

We've been a bit sloppy, but I think that performance is a credit to Palace. They seem like a team that has really done the homework, that plays a very disciplined defensive game. They've made it difficult.
 
Tough 1st half, Palace going at 100 mph for everything.
We're staying strong though, just hope Moose is ok and Big Vic don't get a 2nd yellow off the twat in charge.
All to play for, COYS.
 
Disgusting half of football. We haven't got going. Ref not helping that by letting them off with niggly fouls. But they look way more up for it / switch on than us.

Dembele limping around like a tart. Not seen that for a while but the guy needs to stop being such a lightweight. Need to get Wanyama off but Dembele will dictate that we can't.

Got no threat on the left and Walkers playing like a goon on the right.
 
Right now the positive is that a flaky us would be behind.

In some respects tbat 45 minutes hopefully represents the fallout from Saturday and in the 2nd half Palace may tire a bit.

We have not looked threatening but gaps will appear.

Palace are playing well, have a good shape and lots of belief in what Allardyce is asking of them.

You would think one goal wins it as the two teams seem well matched on this showing.

The question is whether Pochettino risks a 4-4-2?
