    First half was impressive, especially at first but second half was totally abject. We never got close to a sniff and they were first to the ball on every single occasion. Perplexing, with so much to play for, how can a team switch off so totally?
    Maybe we should give Palace some credit for showing they are a decent side. Zaha 2nd half was awesome, best player on the pitch by a country mile. Oh and Holloway is a @@@@ing @@@t, he really is."
