To Rosenior’s credit, our midfield looks well balanced with Santos/Caicedo.

No way does Maresca play Santos.

What a goal that would have been. Probably a bit trigger happy there, but can't blame him.

Neto dear god take him off

The invisible man.

Badiashile loves a bear hug reach around foul doesn’t he.

All our CBs are so f**king sh*t dealing with that.

Let's hope LR speaks with Caicedo or subs him, we do not want another Red card.

Estevao walking off at HT with the smirk of a young man that knows Real Madrid were watching that goal !

Notice how all the players look miserable coming off for half time

Players walking about the pitch after the half time whistle. Me not even realising thinking the games still going.

Caicedo/Santos again looks strong.

Estevao promising.

That’s it. Poor passing everywhere and the left hand side an utter travesty. Our CBs cannot deal with strong CFs.

He hasn't scored many though to be fair he doe snot start often. Perhaps that's why he is smiling,

'I told you boss, start me and I will score!'

Who is this Palace c**t doing the co commentary

Glenn Murray?

They are getting in so easily down their right hand side due to Cucurella being way out of position all the time ... sooner or later that surely has to cost us ? Lucky they've wasted some promising positions so far in our penalty area ...

That's because Neto is cheating

That was number 6 for the season ... pretty good for the amount of minutes he's had ...

If it was the first time I saw Chelsea play, I would think that the players, except the goalkeeper (LOL), do not play in their natural position.

There is great confusion. It will probably get better later, but for now I regret Maresca.

P.S. If Caicedo comes back on the pitch in the second half, we will soon play with 10 men again.

Great finish by Estevao yet Palace did not have a man in their own half, asking for trouble.

Ah, the internationally acclaimed, journeyman mid Championship footballer. w**ker

With Palace allowing so many 1v1s on that left side, Gittens would have been perfect in this game. Neto having a stinker, but don't think he will be hooked at half time, although he deserves to.

Hargreaves, Seaman and Owen looking for a red card for Neto before the goal 🙄

Currently looking at the bottom of a Christmas quality streets box, pondering which of the remaining rejects that no one wanted I should pick. Depressingly reminiscent of this bloody Chelsea team.
