really happy with the performance. i would say we deserved at least a point, their keeper the difference. sadly Pickford not playing, an other day and we win that. no worries though overall, if we keep playing like that we will keep picking up plenty of points in the coming weeks.
We played worse against Newcastle and Burnley and lost, so there's a lot to be positive about. Ancelotti felt he couldn't play Rodriguez which says a lot about how dangerous we're considered to be.

Thought I would see how Harrison went today and in the first half he had the ball 17 times found the man 4 times most within 10 foot, gave away a free kick and failed to find the man on 12 occasions. We seem to concede most goals at the far post from set pieces. Isn`t that where the LB should be defending? Bamfords first touch for a CF is p$ss poor, Klich not at the races either and no idea what Costa and Roberts offer. Other than that plenty of chances created but unlucky not to convert them.
Really good game that and we deserved something from it. We don’t quite have the quality though in a couple of areas and lacking in good options off the bench. A better left winger in the Raphinha mold and we’d have won imo. I like Harrison but he’s too erratic. Costa offers us nothing off the bench and Robert’s lacks quality with his final ball and finishing. Thought Pablo was poor when he came on, lost the ball numerous times.
It’s clear where need investment next year. Overall happy with the performance and fancy us to beat Palace Monday. Pitch was marginally better but still not great. Far too many players slipping over

are you admitting we are a real big club?
lets not forget we are still a promoted side, seems to get lost on many people in the media who you could be forgiven for thinking we were fighting for europe the way we get picked apart after a bad result.
Palace are a limited side but what they do do well plays on our weaknesses; certainly capable of stuffing them if we are on it, but still have to be wary not to play into their hands.
