i bet my house :) 

Not sure where Hazard was. Costa as much I love him is too busy fighting the other opposition. I don't mind it but at the moment I think its concentrating more on starting a fight than leading the line. Fabragas needs to be moved away from CDM because his tackles are awful and he would be better as a CAM/CM. I think at the moment we are really missing Oscar, Willian as a CAM is not working out too well. His workrate is exceptional but the guy cannot finish at all. The only good thing we can probably take is that Falcao finally got a goal and that Kenedy has a lot of potential

I think Jose was referring to hazard or cesc there. Cannot see him digging out brana. Brana is one of his favourites.

Bottom line though is that we are off to a bad start but it's no reason to start acting like scourses or gooners. Go for a work out, work it off. Eat some choclate cake.. And get over it, on to the next one

You make some good points, but I think it's going to take a lot more than chocolate cake to recover from this shambolic start to the season. Having said that I just ordered a comfort pizza.

I have no faith that signings are the answer if we can't get the existing players to put in a shift

Positives: Falcao can actually score and Kenedy is a confident young f**ker with potential.

 

Negatives: Everything else.

Motivation seems to have died by the players. On paper we have a very strong 11 but today we seemed to have been found out.

If Ivanovic backed off his man any further he'd be standing high enough in the stands to get hit by one of Willians shots.

Every time he does that backing down move with his arms behind his back I expect him to break into a Riverdance routine.

I did state before the match that I wouldn't be surprised if Palace won it. There are several things going wrong at the moment but the two standouts to me is Ivanovic's form and the pivot formation. Both of which can be fixed with Rahman and Azpi and a much needed central midfielder purchase for added competition. It need not be Pogba but at lest buy scmeone with enough quality to lift the team on the pitch.

havent seen the game but did we deserve a pen and not get it again

Lets just point out that in to addition to his header, he won another one that was a half chance, it was never going in but the point is he is attacking the ball from crosses again. I really believe if he plays he will get goals

Hopefully this is our sh*t run.....still optimistic but that'll definitely take a battering if Jose sticks with the underperformers (I know that's around 6!) we can definitely turn it around and there's a long way to go but the ground we're losing is ridiculous, I hate to say it in August but it might be the cups for us this season....

We did but it was a from a corener and they never get given

Thought it was a pen on live viewing, but on the slow mo replay it looks like he got the ball, so no it wasn't a pen.

 

edit: Just realised from barak's comment you're talking about Zouma's pen shout (I thought you meant Diego's), well yes by the letter of the law its a pen but so is just about everything else that happens at a corner.

Yes, but it would have been for shirt pulling which is rarely called.

Sad but very true and funny I needed a chuckle.

Wonder when the papers will start with the 'Jose' has lost the dressing room' stories? 

Hopefully we've just had our normal November spell early this year.

3 points from the rest of the games all season and we win the league!

Now that's a positive post

Something needs to change maybe a change of shape and personel. 433 maybe?

The title race is over. Let's concentrate on the champions league now. Forget the league cup, fa cup as well. We are good enough to get top four so we shouldn't worry about that but we need to pour everything into the champions league.

An attitude like that may be exactly why we lost today. Top 4 should be the target, anything else is a bonus.

Mystery when looking for an attacking option ,Baba wasn't considered especially as his forte is attacking. Kennedy did well but we lost shape in defensive situations with him not a natural left back.
