Did Ben dive?

No and he didn’t win a penalty. I’m talking about us in general. I don’t like the way Dele et al dive, but have been assured on here everyone does it and it’s part of the game which I’ve decided to go with and accept. Therefore you can only accept it when the opposition do it - unless you’re a hypocrite of course....

Picking Lamela is a mistake in these games. He simply continues to try dribbling his way through, despite facing two banks of 4 and invariably loses the ball. As for Aurier... what a joke of a first half, culminating in that ridiculous foul throw???!

Yes, agree. Would play Lamela in this sort of game if Eriksen was out or rested. A month or two ago, Aurier seemed to be picking up; more recently he seems to be going the other way
 
We're poor and the referee is against us. Not a great combination.

But it's the same old problem from this season. We're not good when we face teams who sit deep and need to break them down. Too slow and not enough movement, and today we've also made far too many easy mistakes in possession. Maybe it would be an idea to bring Moura and Son on, who can beat players one against one. So far we've created nothing apart from the chance that Palace created for us. Very poor of Kane not to score though.
 
to their credit, palace have defended well at times, tomkins (ex spammer?) trying to keep a tight lid on kane, hodgers is a canny manager

but we missed on capitalising the mistakes they made early on

we will have more chances, but they do have a few speedy youngsters in their front three/four

Not sure I agree the ref is against us

He missed the first penalty but has got everything else right IMO

We won't do it, but I believe Tripps needs to come on soon for Aurier. We need the delivery. Serge has largely been pants.
n.b. just saw the stat box

You just basically acknowledged what many have criticised Poch for - he doesn’t change things quick enough. Let’s see if he does today....
