Reminds me of those United games a while back under Mourinho. Score a goal and shut up shop hoping for the best. Then decide maybe you should attack when the opposition score. Classic Mourinho.

Ironically, it was the 5-3 game against Spurs in 2015 where it changed Mourinho to revert to those tactics. 

Always said that was the day the very best of Mourinho died.

Performances like that are also why there’s no chance we can keep pace with Liverpool over a full season. Not consistent enough.

I think it helped Palace's momentum that Zaha was a menace all game. Aurier in particular looked scared to touch him.

Makes you wonder if Jose feared giving away a pen and had a chat with him because he didn't dare make a challenge.

Thought Eze was better than Zaha.

Tbf this is a weird season, I doubt the league winner this season - whoever it may be - will have been anywhere near as consistent as the champions from the last 3 years.

I think the 3 most likely contenders are you, Chelsea and us. So I’m hoping it’s us, and if not us... then you. Anyone but Chelsea or the Manchester clubs please.

Quite possibly he did, but my point was having Zaha be quite attacking seemed to put you on the back foot.

Perhaps Eze benefitted from that.

I'd be a bit frustrated to draw that when you see the last 5mins that you had real threat when you attacked.

I think it was Eze drifting into the spaces between Sissoko/Hojbjerg and the defence that really made it uncomfortable for us. 

It’s so frustrating - we sat in and didn’t kill the game off

Always the danger when you sit on the lead. Maybe they are the kind of games someone like Lo Celso needs to play going forward.

Which is a shame actually because if you did, with the likes of Lo Celso, Son, Kane and Bergwijn, you could really scare them.
