I learned today from the tv commentators that Crystal Palace are "plucky" and that it is "some real positive football" to put 11 men behind the ball and conceeed 74% of the possession, without a single run into your opponent's half. At least, that's what the commentators said after the first 15 minutes.
When we let possession switch to about 55% Arsenal a couple of months ago, we were "obstructionists". When Palace let it switch to 75%, they're just a plucky side playing positive football.
