When Clattenburg is not being a dićk he is a decent referee

^ lets a lot go

Being outfought at the moment, we seem to look clueless in half our away games.

We are given them too many free kicks due to silly fouls.

good foul santi.

Palace will equalize, they are getting all of the 50/50 decisions.

Living dangerously.

Clattenburg actually seems to be favouring us slightly. What's going on?

Our players don't seem to be able to have any sort of good touch, and can't put more than 3 passes together. We're struggling with palace intensity and closing down at the moment.

Palace will tire out in the second half.

Ok, how does puncheon not get a yellow

Biggest banker of the day - Joey Barton sent off for QPR violent conduct.

At least we're not losing

We're sitting back too much, inviting pressure. We need to get hold of the ball and keep it for a while.

Co commentator asked if he's enjoyed watching Alexis this season. Answer: "Palace have played some really good stuff this afternoon."

coq getting sent off is real possibility.

When teams press us we don't seem to have a good outlets esp in wide areas. That's where I like ox although his end product is poor. Against teams that press us I often think playing Goroud is pointless.

Theo on the wing with Welbeck moving centrally is a much better option

Giroud has been facking pathetic. I'll never warm to the guy. So many attacks break down with him and he's so facking clumsy.

No yellow

true thats why our full backs have to provide natural width but when they don't have the pace when to defend the counter that will def come we get unstuck.

Our full backs have always been fast to do that. Monreal and Chambers are not.

OG hasnt got the ball

Getting pressed again

Disagree - even if we don't really use it, Giroud gives us the option to bypass midfield and play it longer up to him to hold up, to deal iwth the pressing.

Also, Ox's end product is not as poor as people say.

Dwight Gayle's delivery has been awful so far

He's been bad, losing the ball all over the place.
