Deserved what we got. Second half was diabolical. Antony and Rashford were a liability.

Spurs beat those 4:0 there, by the way.

The meltdown here is insane for a 1-1 draw. I guess it’s a good thing though, our expectations are higher now.

Nightmare result. Especially considering that VAR decision. Such a fine margin has probably fecked us.

We went from title contenders in the first half to our europa league struggling team form in the second

Unlucky. Thought we controlled the game but that free kick is just sublime.

Feels like a loss. Don’t think palace deserved a goal as much as we deserved to concede. Upped the intensity as soon as the equalised too. Seen that way too many times under different managers now.

Feck the ref too. And VAR.

That equaliser on Saturday will cost us 10-12 points

Speechless how shit that second half was. How are we being outplayed by Crystal fecking Palace? So many players should be ashamed of themselves after that second half.

Too many players who kept giving the ball away. We’ve had a lot of lucky narrow wins this season and a late disaster like that has been coming. Just be thankful we got a point tbh.

People say we played awful but we had enough chances in good positions. Bruno wasted at least 3 with poor decisions or touches. Rashford probably wasn't as up for it as he was for the City game. It happens.

Well that’s upsetting. Didn’t do enough in the second half. Them grabbing a goal was always a risk. Could be worse

Used all our luck up in the derby.

Gutted dropped 2 points and.lose Casemiro for the next game.

I think Weghorst will be a good stop gap, kept possession well up top.

At least we can drop the title nonsense now. We were relying on near perfect form for that which is never going to happen.

Still, should have won that today.

A gamble that did not pay off at all. All of our most important players with 90 in their legs and Case out against Arsenal. Unlucky, but it was how this season was always gonna be. Ups and downs.

Didn't deserve to win. De gea kept us in it and probably won us a point instead of 3 with his saves. But created nothing. People will focus on casemiro being on the pitch but the tackle was absolutely insane, but I'm glad he played. Every point counts, he should always play in the league when available. Can't believe he threw that tackle in

Rashford was horrible was he? Made every wrong decision imaginable in the second half.

some really tired legs out there today. Gambled on playing the first XI for the win - didn’t get the win, lost Casemiro for Arsenal, and will have to play a much fresher opponent.

Got what we deserved after that second half performance. That said, we were robbed of a penalty.

Disaster. Lost Casemiro for Arsenal, lost 2 points.

Would we have had a penalty if the media didn't spend the last five days talking about our first goal against City?

We need a CM and Striker still in the summer, world class that is.

Rashford honestly was trying to go solo all game and ignoring teammates in better positions, at one point in the 80th minute Bruno was clean through, Rashford decides to turn into 5 bodies to try and score alone than play Bruno in.

I get his form but he needs to make sure the game is out of sight before he tries to go for glory.

We will have a difficult game for Arsenal but I think we need to realise 3rd or fourth is a big result this year.

Pathetic second half. Can’t actually believe what I witnessed. So so sloppy, rashford and Bruno the main culprits.
Casemiro taking a booking to stop a goal and we drop points anyway.
Bad result all round…

'tis a silly place
The boys are walking around shaking their heads at the end of the match, not sure why... deserved to drop those points in the end.

Another thing I'm not sure about is how we looked so threatening in the last 2 minutes after the equalizer, what happened in the 40 minutes prior?

Shame, that. Feels like a deflating result. But we still have a great chance of top 4 and hopefully this is just a bump in the road.

1. Shouldn't have started with Wout straight away. Could have been a useful sub
2. Left Casa for too long

Anyway, tough game. Unlucky at times.

Yeah that was a rough second half. We're not good enough yet to coast against any team in the PL for an entire half. Poor subs and then of course a wonderstrike to top it off.

Should have had a pen though.

That's what we get for faffing about in the second-half. Should have put it to bed long before that free-kick.

Roll on the gooners.
