A penny for Morgans thoughts. I bet constant bench warming wasn't exactly how his agent worded the move to Utd. He must be contemplating his future now, surely.

He must be absolutely awful in training to keep having Fellaini picked over him. Sad to see tbh.
 
Make that 4. Good goal from Townsend.

That supposedly very bad player, Andros Townsend being effective again. I think his excellent form, much earlier in his career, worked out rather badly for him. It somehow put people against him, and then his form fell away as well. But he's an exciting player and I like to see exciting players show us why they are.
 
I'm actually watching Palace v Stoke, while listening to Solent's Saints commentary, and Palace are stroking the ball round very confidently. Stoke are trying, just like a Hughes team will, but Palace are too full of confidence and are defending well when they need to.

Benteke has certainly made a difference to them in this match.
 
Given - I'd heard 'white men can't jump', seems it also applies to Irish keepers of pensionable age
Johnson - coming back from long layoff, so excuses
Shawcross - shadow of his former self; arguably 'gone'
Cameron - not a professional footballer
Martins Indi - thank **** it was a loan
Whelan - can't run, pass, shoot or tackle - otherwise, fine
Allen - he tries at least
Bojan - touch of a rapist
Walters - more dangerous in his own box
Arnautovic - poor, but did try and cover back
Bony - as mobile as one of those yaks that carry baggage up Everest

From a Stoke forum - note martins Indi

That chart goes back to the discussion previous of shot locations. Today's match was the first time this season where we spent prolonged stretches in the opposition box; our shots were from 12 yards instead of 20. Do that with regularity and even with our poor finishing we'll cease to be nearly so energetically wasteful.
