We sadly forgot Young was on the pitch but up until that moment after our goal we were on top and moan.u were looking worried, Meyer needs to play at least 45 mins yes ..and removing Van Aanholt is never a good idea unless injured he and Schlupp are very instrumental with us attacking with pace.
Benteke needs time on the pitch because he belongs to us and will be with us next season,

This was truly bizarre tonight, we played shocking until they scored twice, brought on Meyer who made us look like a different team, played likeBarcelona for 15 minutes and then Roy in his infinite wisdom decides to take off PVA and move Schlupp to left back. Was it 30 seconds later they scored down that side whilst Schlupp was still adjusting to his new role thereby killing the game? As good as Meyer’s substitution was, Kouyate for PVA was a poor decision. He should have moved Meyer to left midfield and taken Schlupp off if he wanted to bring Kouyate on.

We showed for 15 minutes tonight that Utd were there to be beaten but we just seem to lack faith when we play them. Never mind, there is always next year!

When we are mathematically safe the useless cost centre can play every minute of the remaining league games, but not FA Cup if we still in it.

Hopefully he will put in a couple of good performances so we can get rid of him with a mitigated financial hit

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

where was Zaha .....not covering!!Same at Southampton Zaha switched off!!

Team selection and substitutions have been a bone of contention all season. They were exemplified today following the arrival and subsequent improved fitnesss levels of Batshuyai.
Taking off McArthur for Meyer was a very sound substitution not made before time. It not only transformed us into a powerful dangerous machine that soon led to a very well worked goal but also brought into question yet again why we do not give significantly more field time to one of our most expensive extraornarily talented players. Meyer’s arrival on the pitch instantly transformed us into a very well balanced fast moving slick team constantly threatening the opposition goal.
To then remove Batshuyai was at the very least confusing, but immediately de powered our threat. To follow that substitution with what had to be one of the most bizarre switches this season by pulling off van Arnott for Kouyate expecting Schlupp to instantly switch his thinking process from midfield to left back instantly resulted in acres of space allowing the very annoying yet talented Ashley Young to sweep through and end the game.
So we very successfully turned our team into a potent goal scoring threat for 15 minutes before inexplicably de powering us with the removal of our very energetic loanee for the inclusion of our totally impotent Benteke followed by the Kouyate, van A, Schlupp debacle.
Bizarre to say the least. Confusing, questionable and oh so Palace as we threw away such a great opportunity to rinse the sickly pink shirts from Manchester and end their exceptional revival under Solskjaer.

That’s also my thoughts on the match. Really disappointed with our play up to the second goal. Just played with no pace and allowed Utd to slow the game down and dictate how the game went? And yes, the PVA decision finished it for us. Sakho missing didn’t help as well. Worried for us without him for the coming matches :-(
