That was heavy going and a huge 3 points.

1) Thank God for the Mata & Herrera combination to get some possession, movement and control on the game at times.

2) Jonny Evans was rusty as hell.

3) De Gea’s beast mode continues.

4) Injuries, injuries, injuries.

5) Falcao was very good. Worked hard and made excellent runs.

Horrible game, horrible performance, but we got the 3pts, and that's all that matters.

Our Worst performance in the last 4 matches but we get the three points so can't complain. We need to improve if we are to get anything against arsenal.

Poor yet again. Scored the pen, but didn't really look like scoring after that. Wouldn't of scored I don't think unless Speroni hadn't messed up.

Thank god it's over.

Dear Joel,

Please can we have £200m to buy some good players as we only have three or four worth keeping.

Grinding out results is important too. Hope Roo is ok.

One of the worst games i have ever seen in 30 years, when you take into account who we were playing and that we were supposed to be fighting for a Top 4 place.

Absolutely dreadful and players like Evans, Valencia, Fellaini (imo) and a few others, shouldn't be playing for a club as big and as rich as us. Its as simple as that.

We won. Said before the game, I didn't care how we won it, we just needed the win. It was ugly, to be expected. A good win in a hard game.

They should have had a penalty, and I think it would have been given if Puncheon hadn't have animated his reaction so much.

Young was our best player. Mata had some really great spells too. His movement immediately after he passes the ball is just superb. Don't know why we are so incapable of doing that as a team.

Still can't believe we walked away with all 3 pts. Palace deserved at least a draw, but we need it more!

3 points! All that matters at this stage of the season. Bloody difficult ground to play at and we showed real grit to get the win. Ashley young..give the man a new contract. Superb today.

Good result. It's hard to get 3 points in away game, playing with 10 players + Falcao in 2nd half.

Played poorly, need DDG to save us, but we won and at this stage of the season that's the most important thing.

3 points and another pile of injuries. Let's just leave it at that.

So relieved by that. That performance was shocking.

Well done to DDG without him we are screwed. Without Carrick this defence is shambolic.

Young is our best outfield player this season.

Very lucky to win the game. Not sure that it should have been a pen, and Palace really had a clear pen turned down.

Young was fantastic. He carried our attack by himself this game and made 2 assists. De Gea was De Goat again. The rest of the team was awful, including the two scorers and recent Caf favorite Smalldini. Blind and Smalling in particular were dogshite.

All credit to Ashley Young, he's playing for his future and it shows. Some of the other donkeys should take note.

That was some nerve wrecking shit. Jesus Christ do we look like a pub team atm. But we won, that's all that matters. Really should be looking to bring in some class in the summer though. Preferably before we (hopefully) play our qualification games

Am I the only one who saw some potential in Falcao today? Was starting to look dangerous.
