Not sure this whole defending with 3 narrow suits us tbh - Gakpo is being dragged all over the shop and he looks rather uncomfortable doing it, rather just leave the the CB’s to dominate the penalty box and leave the fullbacks to get out sharply and close down the nearest man out wide.
Salah always was someone who prided himself on turning up to preseason fit.
Probably needs some time adjusting to his new mates in the attack.
Nothing a few training sessions won’t solve.

Ahhhhhh Dom!!
Ali to the rescue.
No no, I didn’t mean Mo’s fitness, but tactically. It seems that in order to get balls, he has to get out of the box and never gets in dangerous positions. But he’s still our most lethal finisher, so that seems strange to me.

Szob needs to be subbed. Thats 3rd time he has done this. Tired. Hook him off

And it’s usually when Salah has a relative stinker of a match , he does end up scoring/assisting one goal.
One magic pass one shot etc.

Palace can be pretty good. Right now, our tempo is down and Palace has found their feet and outplaying us in minor moments. It’s fun to watch such games for sure. If we get back to out first haldd performance, we will cut them open and make them bleed 
Dom, again. Alison bailed him out
Every turnover has come from Szobo!!!

He’s going to play deeper this season
Jones Szobo double pivot is just far too risky…wouldn’t mind if we never have to see it again.

Not as a double pivot and not with Jones as his partner.
There was a thread, a couple of months back, about players being like animals. Alisson really is the octopus, isn’t he?
Lovely atmosphere in the stadium. Crystal Palace fans are by far the best in and around London.

Ok, now it is JUST Palace. Outplaying us, Charity Shield indeed, lol.
But again, if we up the tempo, we will make them bleed. But right now, they have stunned us a bit with some very nice footie, cutting through us. We look a bit out of energy at this moment in time.
looking tired now
