Salah's been poor so far. Keita looks lively but as also missed a few simple passes. We seem to be expecting a lot from our fullbacks, particularly TAA
Our passing has been atrocious. Salah looks rusty and Firmino isn't in the game. Need to improve second half
Not been overly impressed with VVD either. He's leaning in rather than just winning the header. He's sweeping up well though
Love how pissed off Roy was with that penalty; like he saw anything from over 50yards away on the sideline! Muppet
Yeah I don't think firmino or salah have been good. the issue for me is Robertson is inly good on an overlapping run and cross. he has no trick so other wside recycles possession now. taa is doing only ok. he balls in have been poor imo. windy has been only ok as well as no 6. he has drifted a bit too far forward. Milner does go wide but it's not worked so far.
He is letting benteke do the pointless stuff as it's all in front. he doesn't need to compete every time.
Salah and Firminho need to wake up. Kieta again is looking class. Deffo penalty, just knew Sakho would come good for us eventually he just needed time!
Benteke is learning though. He stepped forward for one of them knowing VVD would come with him. Ref then gives the foul
the main threat is a flick on to zaha. that's what we need to watch. as long as he is out front heading it the wrong way it's ok
Can’t believe that one is talked about as ‘controversial’ Salah tries twice to ignore and get the space to score - 3rd clumsy hack by Sakho and he has every right to go to ground. It’s a foul, there is not one person who can say it isn’t, but stay on your feet and you get nothing.
That tackle by Gomez was ****ing quality but also very risky. He was last man, miss it and Zaha scores, foul the man and it's a red card.
There lack of effective movement is making it easy for palace to stop the overlaps from the FBs Mane is the only one making the right moves for most of half just as usual his decision making is sometimes suspect
