    Good to get that lead before half time as Palace might come out a bit more in the second half, but the lack of any pace in the front line is hurting us.

    Think we've actually been decent. This whole counter attacking wouldn't really work as they're playing pretty defensive. We've created a few decent chances and not given them anything on the break

    Wtf was rojo thinking with that atrocious challenge. Apart from that we have been very comfortable. We have defended set pieces well and kept Zaha quiet. Pogba has been great always looking for the ball. Herreras been energetic. Rooney needs to sharpen up I feel. Need that second goal and let's not sit back ffs.

    We played some nice stuff but not nearly enough penetration. At least we cranked it up near the end and got a goal at the perfect time.

    Let's not fecking sit back again!

    goal looked very dodgy on several counts, but we fully deserve the lead in the game, and abit of good luck after so mach nonsense in all those draws.

    Blind, Rooney and Mata playing well with Pogba pulling strings. Happy for him that he scores, dodgy goal and all. Shame he couldn't slot in that volley.

    It was handball and offside. What's he supposed to say?

    Our luck is turning. We could be 0-0 with a man down very easily
    You're right I guess.

    Though just remember the Bravo sending off vs Citeh, Luiz sending off vs Chelsea and the foul that led to Watford's comeback goal that were missed. That instantly makes it feel right that we're not penalised for once :)

    Great time to score. Just need to keep doing what we've doing now, probe for a second rather than a foolish attempt to hold out for 45.
    All the rivals are winning, so critical we do too.

    It wasn't an offside, balled touched a Palace player. Also Bailly is looking sharp at RB.

    Watch now as professional pundits slaughter Rojo and complain about the goal, saying how lucky we are and completely ignore that half their team could have been booked.

    For all those who said Zlatan doesn't offer anything off the ball and he's a lazy striker, he had a big hand in that goal.

    Would bring Lingard on for someone at some point to give us more pace and directness off the ball, though I wouldn't take off any of the front 6 apart from Carrick to give him a bit of a rest, but at the same time, Carricks been great. So idk. Probably keep as is until 60 or 70 minutes then take Mata off if it's still 1-0 for Lingard.

    Controlled the game but looked like our lack of pace out wide wide would need adressing at half time.

    Pogba's goal has come at a good time. He's also been our best player. Hopefully we can add a few more goals in the second half.

    I've seen about a dozen replays of the goal now and I've still seen nothing to clearly show a handball from Ibra.

    Pogba and Zlatan are just fantastic. Let Pogba do mistakes, he loves to take chances and in the end it will be superb.

    We are due a bit of luck to be fair
