Murphy is half asleep here.

If Longstaffs brain worked 1 second quicker he'd be unstoppable.

Bringing Murphy on in a game where we're once again struggling to keep the ball seems a crazy idea. Tonali is the sub and he should've been on 10 minutes ago.

It's been fairly average once again. Just got to hope that this is the usual start of season stutters.

Murphy on, not sure about that.

All three midfields on yellows now. Sums up this performance really, we've been second to most things once again.

Oh there we go. It's been coming. Shock.

Something needs to change here. We're facing wave after wave

Kind of greedy from Isak, Barnes was free.

Fucking hell, are the commentators ever going to forget about that non red card for Joelinton against Bournemouth? We'll be in April and still hearing them mention it at this rate.

What a ridiculous challenge from Longstaff, just falls into him.

Nice cross from Kelly but a really excellent finish from Barnes.

The sooner Tonali comes on the better.

Joelinton is trying way too hard at everything.

3hrs to go. Nothing happening. Time to go to give the Internet a break for tonight.

Palace get Lacroix and Chalobah on the last day and we get fuck all. Pretty much sums up the absolutely mugging off we've received over the last 4 weeks.

Solanke almost certainly out and Richarlison a doubt for them. Along with VDV being a doubt this is all good news for us. Seems like VDV will be fine though

Had to turn off the press conference about 15 minutes in! Same question regurgitated by the reporters time and time again just phrased slightly differently. It's their fucking job and they all just ask the same thing over and over. Could see Howe was getting frustrated with it

Sancho is exactly the opposite kind of RW that Howe wants. Not a chance, even if wages weren't an issue.

What happens if they up it again? Like they already have. It was £65M 3 weeks ago, then last week it was £70M and now it's £75M. Nothing stopping Palace from saying, "now it's deadline day, there's and extra £5M added on for our troubles, it's £80M now". Guehi could've done us a real favour by handing in a transfer request but he hasn't. £75M is ridiculous.

But the one we all feared.

It would have to be some almighty signing to make up for what's happened so far.

The fact that he's actually leaving and we're missing out on Simakan (if we were actually interested) is annoying as well. Especially for that price.

I agree with your point regarding holding your nerve and getting the player you want. But Guehi is the player we want and he certainly wouldn't be a makeweight. I'm definitely not saying we pay £75M. But would it have been worth it doing everything possible (pay the £65/£70M they wanted then) to get this done 3 weeks ago before the season started and then there's be none of this issue about their other CBs being injured or them not having time to replace him
