Can someone give me a half time report. I saw bits and pieces but from what I saw it was all us and again, the opposition haven't looked like scoring? Couldn't pick out any individuals.

Nice and offensive. Yedlin-Richie have a great understanding. I'm sure we will score.

I never rated him that highly here. Good passer and good free kicks but doesn't cover enough grass. Lazy as fuck for Palace.

I think we could scout better under Rafa and get a better player. We could probably get a cheaper player. 14m wasn't it? How he's not playing for Palace is beyond me.

For January, Van Aanholt isn't getting a game for Palace.

Perez plays his part in terms of organisation and shape. He seems to lack the creativity I once thought he had. Diame playing number 10 would be a nightmare IMO.

Have to wonder how they will stay up if they lose this and the next three games. They may be one ticked off the survival list.

He does well to balance that little teardrop of dribble on his bottom lip at all times like. He should be in the Guinness book of records for it.

They aren't going to change much. Perhaps Atsu back in.

Sounds almost cordial between him and Ashley. God I hope they can sort the issues out. Winning games helps everything.

Would take a draw to see things ticking along but, aye, let's dick them.

Doesn't look good like. Hope he's found quickly.

Nailed on to score.

Atsu must come back in for Murphy IMO and I'd like to see Yedlin start for Manquillo. Other than that, same side.

They can't afford the loan fee.

Atsu looked ropey in his first few appearances for us last season but he's come on leaps and bounds under Rafa. Murphy will have to play his part in a squad role this season.

They are a different animal with him. That said, a severe lack of quality in midfield. Kouyate in particular is awful.

Amazing when players protest for a blatent foul.

I'd be surprised if West Ham don't win this, given the way that they have started.

Should keep an eye on that Billing lad. Was very good last season and he's still a bairn.

I'm definitely using nadacampista.

It's mental but I'm fairly sure it's the correct decision. Hodgson is a decent club manager.

Showed a skill level which Dummett doesn't possess. I'd like to see if he can maintain it. I'd worry if we had someone with alot all of pace up against him.

Given the state of the England squad, his name might be banded about a bit when the next squad is picked. Provided he keeps up the performances. I'm not saying he's an international defender BTW but I don't think Phil Jones is either so...

Clark is fantastic IMO. He's been my favourite player for a while.
