David Edgar

Feels like this just further highlights the lack of quality in the box. It isn't just the finishing. It is the speed the chances are created to allow the space for our players. All of that is contributing to us under-performing our XG. I get that Isak is being broken in gently, but the sooner he is in the starting 11, the better. He's gonna help immeasurably.

The man can't run like he used to. And it is as if he's playing with lag.

He had one weak header. I don't think it is just finishing. It is passing and movement in the final third. The ball gets into the opposition box and we seem to panic and either stand still or just kick an aimless cross.

I do think we can discuss this like adults Two games in a row we've looked predictable and stilted in attack. We've barely scored in 5 league games (or something like that). Time to bring in one of Isak or ASM from the start to add an extra thing for opponents to worry about.

Jonathan David looked pony at the world cup.

We could do the same with Willock. And probably would initially as Longstaff has a lot of defensive duties that Willock doesn't/can't fulfill.

Fucking Pickford ahead of this man for England

Teams don't score from corners very often. It is something like 1 every 12. But it feels like we haven't scored in 120 corners.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

We are absolutely punching above our weight. Willock, Longstaff, Wilson, Almiron, Burn etc. aren't top 4 players.

Second time in a row.

How the fuck has the referee blown up there? We played less than 2 minutes of that.

Quite a shove, mind

Fuck off calling for Joelinton to be sent off. Pricks.

Minute 2: they take a throw in

Minute 1: they take a free kick

Only 4 minutes cos we aren't Liverpool.

Frustration.

Feels like Palace should just keep kicking it out for a corner if they want to see this out as a 0-0.

Really good play by Murphy.

Ref just guessing there.

Glad to see Murphy tbh, can't be worse than Almiron.

Need Isak and ASM starting the next game.

sigh

Isak is so fucking good.
