oh dear, not a good result to follow the Chelsea game.

[RiffHard]

Typical, just bloody typical.

[Blackjack]

Thats a real shame, we got are noses in front then sat back and defended way to deep, we gave away a stupid penalty and to be fair to palace they wanted the win more!, thy fought for every ball and out played us second half after we scored!, what really concerns me is we had Townsend Chadli and Walker all playing right wing at times , this really exposed us down the left on the counter and typicaly cramped us when we tried to go forward!, It still baffles me why he is allowing the wingers so uch freedem? they are much better suited giving us options out wide.

We were doing well until they got a penalty and then everything collapsed. Now two interesting matches to follow.

A good game until we conceded the penalty. Then we sort of gave up. It is those sort of games we must win.

I would have put my shirt on 3 points. Win v Chelsea and lose v CP!   

Just cannot make head or tail of it!

As ManU also lost, we're still three points (and 12 goals) from the 4th spot.

Considering Palaces recent record, and their lowly position, we should be winning games like this. Once again I thought our two fullbacks were poor, and our midfield almost non existent. We really need to blood Yedelin ASAP, restore Ben Davies as regular starter, and ffs bring in a midfielder or two, plus a striker.
We simply cannot stumble on and on for the rest of the season having one good game in 5.

Yes, that is some good news to take away from our defeat and United's misery.

[Spursx]

Up and until the penalty I thought we were going to sail through, then we just seem to give up. I also got the impression that we seem to rely too much on Kane. With Southampton winning, we need to improve if we are going to get a top 4 spot.

[Blackjack]

Lets face  it guys we play well one game (Chelsea) then revert back to our usually laid back approach!, we have all seen in previous games that we won but in many go very lucky so in the Palace game our luck ran out!

But isn't that the same with all the teams in the Premier League? That is why we are still close to getting a top 4 spot. There are no outstanding teams in the league this season. The way the season is going for all teams anything is possible. And because of that I won't rule out a top 4 spot.

Howdy all,

Sadly a predictable result. After the high of the Chelsea game a comedown with a sharp bump. I did say when I commented on the Chelsea game not to get too carried away and this result highlights my concerns.
I am disappointed as everybody else. I also wonder if allowing senior players to play for their nations at this critical time of the season is a factor in our defeat? Shouldn’t those that are paying the wages have the ultimate say in where the players go? Because of this we couldn’t field the same squad as the one that beat Chelsea. Who knows what would have happened if they weren’t allowed to go? My prediction of a downward move might have just been a hollow prediction. Now for the next couple of weeks we’ve got to play two games per week, that will cause us problems. I believe one of our problems is rotation. In the old days the same players played in all competitions, I believed this made us stronger. But as I said, the modern game is different to what I watched in the past. What is now, and what is a fact, is our up and down results.
