Yes Speroni's decision making can be called into question and Dann never covered himself in glory either.But this is not Dann's strong point and Speroni must surely know this.Terrible goal to concede.

Speroni should've launched it but Cabaye, as usual, was showing when Dann received the ball. Dann had 2 options. He chose a 3rd. He's fvcked up on so many occasions over the last year it's to be expected now.

The worst was v Huddersfield on the halfway line.

Didn't he gift Defoe on the halfway line.

He certainly dithered like Parish when Benteke robbed him v Villa.

Verdict is he's no good if it isn't traditional defending your lines type stuff, so understand your mates and don't put them in situations they can't deal with, which goes back to Frank and Parish and the shambolic decisions made by our club without the understanding to make them.

The pitch was soak-wet yesterday and no defender would expect his own goalie playing a pass like this with seconds to go for half time. Think Julian got "too high" after he made the Everton attacker go the wrong way before passing to Dann. And no reason to be on Dann's back - I would pair him with Sakho any given day. For his play at the back and his goal threats on corners.

Mmmm now let me think which Liverpool- based club Cottee played for for six years.....

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I thought that was quite funny and it's no bad thing if he deludes himself into thinking they haven't got problems. They would have had no complaints if they'd lost 3-0 and finished with nine men yesterday. They earned neither of their goals and were gifted a point they in no way deserved.

I had seen the stream live but again shouted and screamed at the telly when Alistair Mann said "there was contact", ffs if you can't condemn that as diving find another job or just be honest and admit one of the causes of diving and cheating being as big a part of the game as it is nowadays, has been condoning it by commentators and pundits.
