We were awful for large parts, pretty much every player was off the pace. Whether that is 3 games in 6 days.. who knows. This was different to the Sheffield Utd game.. while we didn't play well in either, we were far far better against Sheffield United. We seemed to either not react to the conditions and Palace's style in the first half.. we wanted an extra pass or we often got brushed off the ball. There were loads of times Quansah/Endo had the ball but there was nothing on or they were too afraid to play a risky pass (understandable).
The officiating was awful, so inconsistent throughout and those VAR calls took forever on both. I thought it was a penalty to be fair. The subs changed the game and while people will point to the sending off, I think regardless, we'd have pressed and likely got an equaliser. But its so true we did not play well today and haven't played well for a while. A few players look slightly off form, but we're getting through this period which is brutal.
Harvey changed the game, although when he starts he can sometimes be ineffectual. 3 points is all that matters and two big home games coming up before Christmas!
