Missed Walker down the right badly, for me Siggy and Holtby very disappointing, Holtby is like a playground player.
Holtby looks like a dead duck to me. The cameras showed he wilted when Eriksen came on.
Siggy has got to score every game!! I have a bit more hope for him.

How did he wilt?
Did you watch the game on TV? What is your opinion of the camera pictures of Holtby when Eriksen came on?
I did. I didn't notice but I think it is a little dangerous to read something into people's expressions when you do not know for certain what they are reacting to.

Holtby dropped back after the Eriksen sub and was subbed himself a few minutes later.
I think people's expressions are an excellent way of knowing what their true feelings are.
Siggy did not seem to get into the game and Holtby seems to rush everything and has no composure, my comments are also based on the level of the opposition we should have put them to the sword, agree with an earlier post that Townsend was made for this game, he would have frightened them to death and won free kicks every five minutes.
How would Townsend have been better suited to breaking down a team that sat deep, in numbers?
He would have picked up the ball on the half way line and run at them, Lamela just looked to play it inside all the time, if a team sits deep you just pick up the ball earlier it does not stop you running at players and committing them.
Not as many goals as I would have hoped for, but a very solid performance all-round.
We've now played seven games this season, won six of them and scored 15 goals, conceding just once.
I think that's a pretty good start to 2013-14 by anyone's standards and it gives us a huge springboard to progress from here.
Slight understatement.
PALACE 1-0
