Working late.  How getting on?  Sky updates say all Palace at the moment

I've been watching 10 mins and we look the better team to my eyes, but they should have scored from a free kick a few mins ago - Okore and Lescott between them lost Delaney in the box.

Great cross but no bugger there.

Good start though.

We really position ourselves in the worst areas to receive the ball from a cross and on the follow-up nobody is ever there.

Our final ball isn't great, but we really need more bodies attacking the box when it comes in.

One of the midfield three needs to make constant runs in there.

They look a different side. If we'd played with this attitude all season, we wouldn't be anywhere near the mess we're in.

We've been so shit for so long that I now find myself feeling more positive about our attacks when the ball doesn't go out for a corner. I fancy us more from throw-ins.

Yeah I like the way he shifts the ball to give himself a shot.

11 players with ayews attitude and we'd be top 10
