My boys first Palace game. He had to pee and we missed the Wickham goal. Starting line-up all wrong and they had no idea how to play. 3 in the middle abject. Defence beyond crap. Steeeeve's worst 45 mins in a Palace shirt. Subs worked. Big Ben could (should?) have had a couple from open play. Pen was coming. Looked most likely to win. Craphouse desire right at the death to lose the game. Are we fit enough? Burnley were a poor side in all honesty and we get nothing. Sure I read we were working on the game tactics/line up all week and falls apart in 90 seconds. Only positives are form of Zaha and the fact we are scoring. Unfortunately, defending like that will mean all sorts of trouble.

That first corner was horrendous. Thought Punch throughout was poor in his distribution. Back to that corner, as bad as it was I'm sure it was Zaha who had a couple of chances to clear it up by the half way line but then gave it away which resulted in them scoring. Our defending from front to back was awful. Or was it not Zaha - as you can tell, I haven't looked at it since and don't want to - terrible, terrible defending by us for 95 minutes yesterday :-(

really disappointed to lose a game we could and should have won. All 3 of Burnley's goals were almost identical - 2 came from our set pieces. Conceding once in that manner is poor to do it twice is shocking. In between we had spells when we looked quite good - Zaha should have scored at 1-0, moments before they got the 2nd, and at 2-2 surely there was only 1 winner. Disappointments were 1. Steveee - i'm sorry you have to save the 2nd. No excuses 2. Kelly - all over the place. At one point he had a man behind him whom he just completely ignored and just drifted into the centre leaving his man in 10 yards of space. Unbelievable lack of cencentration 3. Midfield 3 (whoever that is) is a concern. Cabeye just no creativity and always close to a booking, Punch flatters to deceive for me and Jimmy whilst the best by a mile is being asked to play in a position more forward than he is comfortable with. 4. Townsend - expect a bit more from. Fails to beat his man and lacks a yard of pace. I'm struggling to see where our next win is coming from and that's a massive concern

Kelly - 5 Poor again from Kelly, offered nothing going forward and suspect defensively. Rightly hauled off. Dann - 6 Made one superb block 1st half to deny a strike at goal. Still looks a yard off the pace after injury. Delaney - 6 Average display from Damo, looking like time is finally catching up with him. Ward - 6 Much better when switched to right back, offered much more of a threat than Kelly in an attacking sense. Cabaye - 7.5 Would have gave him an 8 but his set pieces were terrible. Put in a good shift, passing was superb. Unlucky with a 25 yarder. Puncheon - 6 His set pieces were also terrible which contributed to burnleys first goal. Quiet and ineffective. Zaha -8.5 MOM for me, was a constant threat and continuously skinned the full backs. Great assist for 1st goal. Finally adding end product. Townsend - 6 Good in spells but very wasteful in possession. Came to life last ten, assist for penalty and almost levelled at the end, striking the post. Benteke - 7 Cool penalty and held the ball up well. Was unlucky on a few occasions when ball just wouldn't drop for him in the box. Subs Wickham - 7 Cracking finish and linked play up well when he came on. Fryers - 6 Did okay but just not premier league standard. Ledley - 5 Not on long enough to affect game. All in all a very poor defensive display, but looked dangerous going forward second half and did not deserve to lose. Pards needs to address this asap to stop the rot. Sadly he was, in fact he was the last Palace player to get a touch before their winning goal. He nodded the ball straight to one of their players on the edge of the box and seconds later it was in the back of our net.
