I guess that's where we miss Trippier and Botman being able to play the ball between the lines. Their replacements aren't as good with their passing

He's pretty much always played as the deepest lying centre mid here

Feel like we're always trash at Selhurst Park

It looked to me like Murphy was given the instruction to just cross the ball into the box at every opportunity.

I thought Soler and Paqueta just completely ran the midfield second half

We've done well recently with Tonali coming off the bench and playing as the deepest centre mid and allowing Bruno to play slightly higher up as the game has gone on. Thought we'd see that yesterday but we just went a flat 2 of Bruno and Tonali and it was suicide

I always predict Newcastle to lose and this week I didn't Serves me right

reeled some in

It's a pattern though that we've not played well for a lot of the season. Only really Arsenal and Forest where I'd say we've played well for a whole game

I'm not saying he's the answer but taking out that amount of assists and not replacing them can certainly be a reason we aren't scoring many Our set pieces are pretty dreadful and our crossing yesterday was absolutely abysmal.

Just had a look. Trippier got 10 assists from 28 PL games last season which is pretty incredible. 7 the season before Tino hasn't got any for us yet I don't think in the league

For all the criticism he's got we haven't replaced Trippier's assists either I like Tino but his attacking output isn't anywhere near Trippier's for us

Another unexpected Fabianski clean sheet for me this week

Sell all our best players, sounds a good strategy

He barely played there tonight

Wat

That second half was as bad as anything we've seen at SJP in his time here.

Finishing third in a 2 horse race is incredibly impressive

Cheers Geoff

Surely Drury saw the huge deflection

I assume that was why he was on Monday Night Football a couple of weeks ago, sort of putting himself back in the shop window after people had forgotten about him

His face just didn't fit...

Not sure where the Leicester board expected them to be. 16th is pretty good considering how dire their squad is

Would love to know the last time he started and finished a game
