Observations from the game

Casemiro it was inevitable. Everyone going on about it beforehand, ETH being conscious of it. Casemiro gets a yellow and we concede anyway.

Next time ETH, just take him off, or anyone else in that situation for that matter

Thought Bruno was t*ss in the second half.

Pretty fair.

I think what Antony adds though is balance on the right. I do think we look better with him there.

Weghorst did OK. Could do with a good Martial v Arsenal though

Agree with a lot of this but Bruno was awful.

De Gea just made 1 good save first half but that was it. He had routines saves 2nd half. Palace XG was low as a result.

Feels like a loss but 4 points from those two games is ok.

Trying to find positive vibes.

I think we look better when Antony plays.

Indeed. So was Rashers. Bruno made an error that led to the Casemiro booking.

Honestly I called it years ago. VAR is another way for corruption.

I’d like to see Garnacho start against Arsenal

That poor touch from Rashford eventually lead to the free kick that cost us the goal.

All in all it was very nearly a solid performance, palace were physical, forced a high pace at times and they scored with a bit of magic.

I don’t think it’s the manager’s fault for Casemiro making a stupid tackle. Player needs to take responsibility for his mistake. As well as missing an absolute sitter to win it for us at the end.

Bruno put him in that position tbf. At the time Casemiro clearly thought Zaha was in a position dangerous enough to warrant it.

Bruno wasn't good at all. He scored a nice goal but thought he was one of our worst players today. Far too many poor passes.

He does the simple things so badly at times.

But it was a pathetic challenge that completely took him out. He didn’t need to make that challenge.

Personally don't see it with this lad. He doesn't make chances for anyone. Has he even got an assist yet for us? I don't think he has.

Bruno and his flicks is getting annoying now

I thought we were poor as a team and him and Antony were the worst players by some margin. He got a goal but he also got Casemiro suspended through cowardice. In addition to repeatedly flicking the ball to opponents

OP,
Good assessment in general, but Bruno was terrible and Rashford didn’t play his “worst”, but his greediest and most irresponsible game in a long time. It was conspicuous during the second half that he was thinking about his scoring sequence. The manager should speak to him about that.

We're still not very good away from home if we're honest. Apart from Everton I really dont think we've put in a 'good' away performance in the league all season.

Even with Casemiro I feared we might get taken apart at the Emirates. Without him...

Wonder if we might go with a back 3/5 and pack the box against Arsenal.

Play another tune!

And yet anyone that knocked Weghorst was abused

This is Bruno in a nutshell. He can do your nut in for 80 minutes but can then be the difference.

Was at the game, second half we just didn’t seem to have much about us and did far too little from our left side. Casemiro seemed quite slow tonight, dunno if it was just because Palace have quite a pacy front line. Too many flicks that didn’t work and just seemed to lack any sort of cutting edge, hopefully we’ll see more on Sunday.
