Crystal Palace vs. Burnley match thread

Settle for a point?
 
So we really haven't changed with everyone back. We look good for 20 minutes then we collapse. If we keep to the script we will have a sh*te second half and then lose the game... to Burnley. To Burnley.
 
I think perhaps Burnley were so awful and it was so easy for palace to go two up that they lost concentration and took the result for granted. It's no excuse of course.

45 minutes to get two against the worst defence I've seen all season, even including ours. Except now they have a lead to protect.
 
I supported Lerma for Man of the Match v. Brighton, as he played energetic and disciplined throughout, finally remembering that he was a centre back rather than a defensive midfielder. Today, especially when we went up 2-0, he began to play loosey-goosey, as if in midfielder mode again, and here we are.

We can hold them scoreless in the second half, but I question whether we'll score if Burnley play a low block.
 
We've just conceded 3 goals in 5 minutes to ome of the poorest sides I've seen at Selhurst Park for a long time.

Guessand and Kamada aren't players that do the dirty work which is why we were repeatedly over run in midfield.

Lerma is not a centre half. He's ok to fill in here and there but he is not a regular centre half which he has proven tonight.

I'm actually quite stunned at what I've just witnessed in the last 5 minutes there.
