Bit unfortunate to lose by two goals, their third was obviously a huge defensive cock up a shame because we had them running all over the place until it, satisfying though to scare them for fifteen mins.

Meyer simply has to start. He gets the ball, turns and looks to attack the space. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him pass sideways, it’s all forward thinking and we need that to feed the runs of Townsend, Zaha and Batshuayi. Hodgson - I have no idea what goes through his mind. 2-1 down at home, takes off Batshuayi for an ineffective Benteke then takes off PVA for Kouyate, puts Schlupp to left back for 30 seconds and we concede from that side. The way PVA ran off, I cannot imagine he had any injury concerns so that substitution baffled me. Good performance overall. Great effort just think Hodgson needs a wake up call. The persistance with Schlupp over Meyer is becoming boring

Thought subs were bizarre today. SChlupp having a nightmare so takes Mccarthur off. Then when we're fully in control and dominating disrupts our rhythm and brings on Benteke for Batshuyai. And to cap it all off takes off a left back for a centre mid and they immediately score from the vacant left back position. So strange The only sub that failed was Van Aanholt's the others were good, maybe Zaha was at fault for leaving Young free.

I think our star attacker who literally every good attack seems to go through has the right to stay forward when chasing a goal at home. It's for Schlupp to defend the left side of our own penalty box if he's been moved to left back. The blame can fall on the 2 Centre Backs or Luka if Pogba scores through the middle but Young can't be standing there on that side with a finger up his bum waiting for a tap in. Meyer just baffles me. I have never got a players name on the back of my shirt but this guy makes me think he could easily be my favourite player and I'd wear his kit like a 5 year old...if he ever played more than 10 minutes. Honestly I hate to say it but Meyer is so good if it comes to him or Hodgson next season I'd rather Roy walk. I'd rather he just see sense and keep them both but there's something there obviously behind the scenes.

Left early for the second time. Wards goal was the first in open play I’ve seen this season by a palace player. I missed Burnley, Leicester, and Fulham so haven’t seen us win at home yet. We’ve been awful this season. Not through lack of ability. Or lack or effort. But through complete tactical stupidity. Schlupp had one of his better games today. But should have been all over Pogba for the entire game, but wasn’t. He’s not got the concentration. Switches to left back. United score straight away. What was the point? Pundits are continually raving about Mayer. He can’t get a start. He comes on, we score after 5 minutes. What does he have to do to get a start? Not picking Scott Dann. They have Pogba and Lukaku. Schlupp is left to mark Lukaku at corners. The second goal comes from a corner. We never look like a threat from corners. Why's he on the bench? At 2-1 down he takes of our striker with 1 goal from 1 start for Benteke (3 goals since August 2017). How’s he suddenly expected to turn the fortunes around in 10 minutes against Manchester United. Hodgson is a throwback from the Field Marshall Hague school of tactics. If it doesnt work. Try they same thing over and over again. How long until we can get rid of him. He’s only in the job due to sentiment. Edited by jeeagles (27 Feb 2019 10.08pm) You cannot be serious, we were threatening a second goal for fifteen mins and had moan.u all over the place and you criticise Hodgson for one player on the pitch making one mistake to allow Young a free hit!

A tad harsh I think. Yes went missing for the third goal but to be fair on him it was a bizarre substitution

We lost to an average ManU side due to poor tactics and poor subs. We relied too much on crosses from the wide players and most of the time the ball got hit too far over the oppo danger area.
