Abject - too gutted to say to much.  On unai today - wrong team and tactics and no excuse as this is the 4th time they’ve done in it less than a year.

They were better than us in every dept and just outfought us in key positions and moments. Not sure why he took McGinn off but everyone else was fairly average to poor. Strong finish needed last four games but no matter where we finish there's been to many days like this this season, too many draws and games where we've looked extremely poor. I don't care who wins it as long as its not City.

Utter shite. Palace deserved that as all they had to do was run at us. Furious as one of our best chances in years. I will probably be dead before we win any silverware at this rate.

Awful. Abject. Gutless. Spineless. Disgraceful. Other synonyms.

The defence were crap, but that doesn't mean we create 0 clear chances.

We had some decent chances, nothing as clear as theirs though.

I agree with Percy.

I agree with reality that keeps slapping us in the face. Some people on here don’t, but each to their own.

Comprehensively outplayed today. On all levels. Hope Palace go on to win it. They have our number and they were sensational today.

Agree. Think Mings not playing was a mistake. Not having Maatsen at left back with his pace against a back 5 was poor. Rodgers knackered but stayed on. Asensio anonymous

Absolutely shockingly poor performance. Some will point fingers at individual players but no one, not one of them get anything other than a zero out of ten  maybe less  awful

That's our worst performance there for me. Again we made Palace look incredible and got a fucking beating off of a mid table team. We couldn't have been more subservient if we were drugged up. No intensity, no one winning there duels, no movement, no combativity. All one paced and played in front of them until they pressed and physically won the ball back.

A bad bad week from Emery too. You have to win these big games, not hope the opposition lose them. Really poor all round today. I'm getting pissed.

They had someone on Tielemans for most of the match so as soon as the ball came to him, they closed him to stop him dictating play, we let Wharton play all match again.

The players are clearly knackered but I expected more from them.
Emery picked the wrong team in a big game yet again.
Just frustrating!!!
Fair play to Palace though,completely deserved the win, I can’t see us ever beating them again.
