[Tatterdemalion]

Good job it's only a friendly...

[Exiled_red]

Palace score and win it

[Charly]

Well... not sure we can havee too many complaints. Second half we crap.

The difference from preseason... no Rio

Probably deserved to win Palace

[Tatterdemalion]

We need a fast CB, another defensive mid, if Endo is not trusted and another forward.

Glad that's over.

A lot of people were getting carried away over the summer regarding our signings. This is a reminder that transfer window champions really means nothing.

On the evidence of today there's quite a bit of work for the manager to do with the back 4 and midfield 3.

I've every confidence that he'll get it right and we'll be an absolute crushing machine when in full flow but sometimes you just need brought back down a notch or two

****ing shocking pens

Darwin’s gone but you and others have your 3 hate players for the season

[fabinho]

we've lost 3 proven world class players and replaced them with potential for £300m and Virgil and Salah are another year older (at the age when it means you get worse). Crazy.

Mo, if it ain't broke (your run up) don't fix it. You tried changing it before and missed a few then.

Nobhead.

Well hopefully we'll kick on, but this isn't looking like a title winning side, loads of improvements needed for sure. Vulnerable at the back which is my main worry, loads of promising patterns but lots to still. Would have liked Rio on for the last 10 mins.

I thought it odd to have a different run up

Where are they hiding? Because we haven't sold any.

Good to be grounded this weekend though, need 3 points next weekend. Up and onwards.
