Shows how much we miss Biss's commanding performance in the middle of the park. Lallana can't play the same role and Gross looking even half a yard slower than he normally is and hardly gotten out of our half.

Need runners in the middle of the park to take the game to them

We are back in the arena of home matches being a fantastic advantage, how long that will last I don't know. But Palace away, when they never looked like scoring for the first half is okay, we were not brilliant but we soaked up the pressure, I have no doubt we were looking at the bigger picture and winning this later in the match.
But Trossard and Cucurello lost their focus for a split second.
So Potter will be on plan B...or C or D.

There we go plan B or is it C, With Burn off and Alzate on.

I love Potter but he makes some bizarre changes at times. Alzate for Burn, interesting to say the least

I love him too but he really needs to learn how to beat this lot. This stretch without a win is killing me and it doesn't look like ending tonight.

Pleeeeeeeease prove me wrong.

That is inevitable consequence of the hard press.

Palace press hard, pushing the opposition into mistakes... which they WILL achieve. That's the point of the hard press.

But Potter's tactics was that if a player makes a mistake, which they will, there will be someone to cover, which they were.

Palace had NO clear cut chances in that half. As intended. We were tactically spot on in that half.

The only difference was a silly Trossard foul, which was unintended and unnecessary.

Great post.
