Difficult game against shithouse tactics from Palace.
Every year we play them it's the same type of game.
Saying that we didn't help ourselves today the way we set up in midfield.
Gini, Milner and Henderson morphed into the same player if that makes sense. They all played exactly the same way.
No creativity and forward thinking which is why our front three got F**k all in that first half.
Lazy square balls across the back and constant back passing did my nut in.So glad when that half time whistle went.
You could tell Jürgen had a few words coz straight from the off second half our shape and movement was sharper and more direct.
Four minutes in.... 1-1
Jürgen made the right decision bringing Mane off, he was walking a fine line with the ref and the crowd were on his back.
Thought Chamberlain made a big difference when he came on in midfield with his attacking attitude which we lacked and he proved that with the cross for Robbo which lead to the winner.
Talking of Robbo, what a player, what a revelation he has been for this team. His energy and never say die attitude down that left hand side reminds me of the likes of Joey Jones, Risse and Alan Kennedy rolled into one.
WTF happened to Lallana? should never have gone away with the England squad
Boss finish by Mo, turned Sahko inside out
Why oh Why after that we didn't put two players on Zaha, It was pretty f***in obvious they were gonna use him down that left hand side and kept constantly receiving the ball in space on his own in those closing minutes.
Trent will want to forget about his performance rapidly and he needs to practice taking a f***in throw in!! Everytime he took one(and he took a lot) it looked like he was gonna goof it up
I'd like to see that Zaha in a red shirt though, dunno about you?
