Currently 0-0 after 20mins. The standard of ref and lino are horrific and basically giving fouls for anything. We've had a few half chances. It's on YouTube via the FA or TNT Sports 2.
 
The commentators are giving me a headache. Just going on and on and on. It's allowed to be quiet for a moment
 
I dont understand how we are not ahead.....Obi with 2 awful misses
 
Weird game - we have been a lot better, and still I struggle to name one United-player who has been really good. Gabriel, Thwaites, Kukonki all been poor. Obi has been good in the build up and running, but missed 2 insane chances
 
I think JJ has been a bit subdued over the past couple of weeks in terms of his energy levels and overall game. It could be late season fatigue for a 15yr old playing against bigger lads, which is understandable.
 
Our build up is too slow from the back. The GK and CBs seem to sometimes be feeling themselves too much and romance the ball needlessly. We also need to find a way to isolate Ajayi and/or JJ against players.
 
We are a much better team - if just a few of our best players step up, we will win

His dad said this a few weeks back.
 
Not impressed by Byrne-Hughes - he spends ages kicking the ball out and hits Palace-players almost every time.
 
Quality by Obi and JJ scores
 
Lovely goal, brilliant skill from Obi and a good pass too, top class finish from Gabriel

Not content with passing the ball out to Palace, he decided to drop the ball at their feet in our box. An awful piece of goalkeeping.
 
You called it
The guy helped Palace with time wasting tactics all game and then dropped the ball for them to tap it in. I don't blame him. I blame Fletcher who stood pocket in hand and watched him walk off 5 mins or more of play time.
