Well, a must better performance anyway, and pretty unlucky overall not to win

 

[grumpymort]

Was he a hobbs signing or a freedman one? 🤔

freedman.

PV wanted him and we could have signed him for under 15m but at the time club refused to pay that and what happens panic few seasons later paying double.

The original Nketiah story was that Parish wanted him apparently.

Wharton has been terrible again.

I think he needs someone like Hughes next to him.

Again don't understand what manager is even trying to do here.

YES!

Before Hobbs time .no ? Not 100%

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Well done boys. An encouraging performance which should have provided a win.

Freedman. And someone Freedman had been after for a while.

That ref was absolutely shocking tonight

Goals conceded were poor defending. Goals scored were good goals. Kind of sums us up in one game.

I blame players for their two goals. Powder piff and switching off

Henderson saves both of those IMO

 

[Frenchaigle]

YES!

I thought Wharton was ok .
Was getting stuck in and finding space , few wayward passes

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Respect the point 😎

 

[mogrem]

We dont even look like we want to score.

If we dont take control we will lose this game.

And yet we scored twice?

 

[ASCPFC]

Indeed, for most of the match we really tried hard. We were tired at the end I'd say. Decent effort from the lads. Play with that much commitment and we should be ok this season.

 

[Dogburger]

Apart from the goals against a decent performance and an acceptable result after the weekend . Should probably have taken all 3 points but a draw in Turkey is nothing to sniff at

I thought Benitez might have done better but it's hard to blame him when we miss a few tackles and let someone run through unmarked for the goals. It's on our defence really.

 

[park the bus]

Soppy goals to concede, but we come away with a result, something to build on.

Glenn Hoddle said the ref loves to blow that whistle

This is my assesemnt as well.
But yeah we can all hate Mateta, but he is twice the player JSL is and trice the player Nkethia is. Sadly because I has hopes for both of the former.

 

[Sardinero]

At Bournemouth, mate is season ticket holder . What a game here, ! All want Palace to win!

No. Even though the smell of turkey is better than the taste.
