Haven't seen Mitrovic's yellow as MOTD cut it (who knows why).

In terms of yesterday, its too easy to slag off Janmaat for his performance, but he was shite even before his idiotic dismissal. No out-and-out back-up/competition in that position is clearly going to be a problem. I only saw the first 50 or so minutes (browser problems made it barely watchable) but also agreed the midfield didn't function properly at any point, and it sounded even more disjointed when Sissoko limped off, while I don't know if Wijnaldum and Anita actually did anything. The stats show we only had a third of possession in the entire game and managed 4 shots all game, and clearly we don't have the players to do anything productive with that.

Obviously still 36 games to go, but bit worrying the away day malaise and ill discipline from the last year and a half hasn't subsided yet.

Sunderland is a weird one. They've signed 5 players this summer (well, four + Coates) on big wages and a couple of big fees but arguably needed to sign a whole new squad, and I think Dick Advocaat wanted substantially more than what he's got. God knows they've still got some colossal duffers, especially in defence.

The weird thing is how many of their fans already seem resigned to being relegated, based on both these two games and an appalling pre-season.


Suspect Mbemba will go to RB. Might work while he gets to grips with the League. Personally I would be tempted to shove Anita to RB and hope to God the club actually sign a DM or get Tiote fit.

I don't know what was upto the midfield - Anita seemed too deep, Wijnaldum too far forward, Colback chasing. Never seemed to hold possession.

Sunderland have the same problem as Newcastle fans. Completely hate Wes Brown and O'Shea and the manager because they played. And they haven't really adressed the root causes.

Palace look so vulnerable at home. Most home defeats in the league last season too.

Well, 1-1 now haha!

Should have got a second yellow for the push in the first half. The 58 fouls he's made since haven't been that bad.

Ordinarily they wouldn't but when its his 58th foul it becomes abit of a joke that he stayed on

Im glad Mason didn't send him off tbh, Coquelin must have some incriminating photos that the world just isn't prepared to see

There's not many sweeter things in football than watching Chelsea get out-played and hammered..

One of those things is Mourinho's face whilst it is happening.
