Our defense gives me ulcers 

why the actual f**k was billy gilmour picking up benteke during that freekick. this team needs a setpiece  coach

Making Benteke look good now!

Lampard losing his hair due to this defense. 

Lovely save by Kepa there

Ahem

Last game he was good. Don't count the game when he went to play in midfield that's not his natural position.

I disagree he was sloppy in the last game and only improved by the second half. He had a decent second half even and he wasn’t as good as he was before the break

My heart stopped when the ball went straight at Kepa, I thought it was going in!

As soon as Zaha scores it all goes to sh*t, thanks Kepa, once again letting us down. 

Just play Cabellero until the end of the season please... 

If only Willian put that chance away

Come on, Val.  It was central shot, hit hard yes, but beyond that it should be stopped.

Definitely harsh. I haven't seen replays (not watching live) but I saw a clip of the goal from normal angle and that was going at a speed in the top of the net. Not sure any keeper would have got to that. Shouldnt have given Zaha that space. 

Phew 

Lampard is not impressed

We had control of this game for the first 30 minutes now its gone to rat sh*t....Jekyll and Hyde team

CP draws dangerous free kick.

As much as Kepa should save that he should never be in that position if James doesn’t make a stupid lazy pass.

How good is Mount, him getting regular game time at this level has turned him into a proper talent.

Pretty standard for a 20 year old in his first season, I still rate him as good.

Where was the midfield three all gone to get a fish n chips down Croydon??
 

Also why was no one closing him down?
 

 

Frank is not impressed by the last 15-20 minutes with that half..might be winning but he needs to lay into quite a few players at HT.  Apart from Mount our midfield has gone AWOL. 

We're winning, but we are far from playing well. We are making far too many mistakes. Palace seem snappier when it comes to 50/50's, they are closing us down quickly and it's forcing us into rushing our passes and mistakes. We'll need to gain some better control in the 2nd half because I can see them getting another.

Say what you want but we're currently 3rd

That's also true, just with Kepa it's been a thing all season, it's just so frustrating. 

Has one good game and it all goes to sh*t again. 

The ball was straight at Kepa he should’ve got something on it. He’s so f**king awful if we could get a good strong big goalie this team would be so so much better. He’s got the worst save percentage of any keeper in the league which is amazing if you stop and think about it for a second.

I maintain my stance that he only looked that way through blue tinted glasses. He looked great getting forward and put some great balls in to the box but defensively looked suspect (bar a few games like the opposite leg of this one). He gets turned inside out very easy but the talent is obviously there for him to become a great player.

The problems he is having now were there at the start of the season too. He was a bit more creative though so it made people forget about the mistakes.
