Ok, but the keeper did make those saves, Mourinho has been there before this season and he should have seen it and adjusted.

Quite right but I should have said PL teams.
Say again my love?
Wow. You honestly believe a draw at Anfield would be a disaster because we didn’t win today?!
Still a few games to go after Wednesday you know....

Despite what others accepting this result say, we should not have lost that game that is why I am pissed. I have seen us lose games where I still applause because we did every thing correct but score more than the other team.
This performance and tactics was not the one to be played against Palace.
Under Poch's tactics we win this game easily, but, I will concede and say that applied across the teams we have played so far we would not be on top of the table.
So it goes to say I believe that as pragmatic as Jose's tactics are where we are top, there still comes a time to be expansive. This game against Palace was one of them

Firstly we didn't lose it!
Secondly, we've never really comfortably won away at Palace...

I think we've got to give Palace some credit here.
I thought we were good for the first 35/40 minutes and deserved our lead.
The problem was Palace became more aggressive in the second half and where winning most of the second balls and duals.
We gave away a lot of free kicks and when you concede too many chances a mistake happening increases no matter how well drilled you are.
It would of been nice to see Lo Celso on a bit earlier to give us more bite and guile.
We looked a bit jaded and couldn't cope with their intensity and industry.
I think we needed changes earlier, but they came a bit late.
Its nowhere near as bad as some are making out.
A tough game after our run of fixtures, in those conditions, and its not a bad point.
I think we've a real chance of turning Liverpool over. They're stretched looking.
I'd probably give Toby MOTM.

How exactly do you adjust to a keeper making saves, pray tell.
Are we still top? Are we still unbeaten since the first game? Do you seriously EXPECT to win all our games? No wonder Spurs fans are so difficult to please. The sistine chapel ceiling has got nothing on the ceiling the fans set for this team. Ridiculous.

I believe in killing teams off and many Premier League teams are dangerous. Palace are in that group with the likes of Zaha and Eze they can produce goals from nothing. I was at the home game against them in September 2019 and we won 4-0. We killed them off in the first 25 minutes with relentless attacking football and then were able to sit back in the second half. We have the players to play more expansively yet defend when we have to but it ain’t going to happen now except by accident.

You are genuinely the worst poster in the history of this site.
Your account is like a parody of all the worst traits of an online football fan.

Man City,Man Utd, Spurs, Liverpool all get 1 point.
Arsenal and Chelsea get no points
I can live with that,shame aboutSaints and Leicester.
In fairness the fans at the Emirates are the only ones at any ground where I’ve seen social distancing done properly.

Well, not by seizing attempts at 1-0 and sitting still while your players grow restless soaking pressure.
