Wayne complained as soon as it was given and before the goal to the Ref making that point!

Wayne and PVA equal MOM ... Jimmy Mac was the worst player on the pitch in the first half....
Roy! WTF did he let the points fizzle away as we were well on top at 75 minutes... should have brought on Riedewald for fresh legs and Sørloth for the last 15 mins...piss poor non use of substitutes! |

Benteke was a donkey today.

Hennessey 8 Motm. Some crucial saves today, especially at 1-0 down. He kept us in the game. The kicking was class. Picked out Benteke so well.
Fosu Mensah 4 The most overrated player on the bbs. If Ward had performed like that the daggers would be out for him. Awful.Giving him a 4 as to his credit he did get forward well. Based on defensive work 2/10. Must be dropped. Kelly 5 Sad to see him go off. We can't afford injuries. Did a reasonable job. Tomkins 6 Won a vital header. Awful cross led to a Newcastle counter attack. Van Aanholt 8 Had a good game. He didn't have that much trouble defensively and was great going forward. Linked up well with Zaha. Townsend 5 Dissapointing. I thought he would be up for it against his old club. Struggled to have an impact. Milivojevic 6 Scored the penalty. I think he could have cleared their set piece better. Will have to see a replay. Cabaye 6 Mixed bag. Some good passing. Mixed set pieces. McArthur 8 Was terrific in the 2nd half. Was involved in so many attacks. A goal would have capped off a great game. Zaha 7 Cross led to Benteke being fouled for the penalty. Put in another ball which led to a Benteke chance and goalmouth scramble. Got better in the 2nd half. Benteke 6 Won every header. Won the penalty. Missed some great chances. Great focal point for our attacks. Subs: Sakho 7 Should have started. Brings calmness to the team. |

The difference between the 1st and 2nd half was almost entirely down to the fact the 3 midfielders were so much better after the switch to 4-3-3. McArthur in particular. PVA and Hennessey were good for 90 minutes.

Hennessy got my vote but only because PVA was walking away with it and I was torn between the two. He seemed to be a different keeper. Great saves, nice distribution and came for balls.
PVA looks great when he has Wilf in front of him. It works so much better that way. Jimmy Mac also had a better second half when he took Wilfs slot. I have no idea why we dont start that way.

Thought woy got it totally wrong again with the 442 and wilf up top. He was too slow to change it. Once he did we dominated.

Wilf is a winger - stop playing him centrally. Thanks.
PvA MOTM. Game of 2 halves. We need to start winning these games.

PVA superb, a really bright display
Hennessey very good, let down by poor defending from a set piece not to have a clean sheet Sakho very good, when he came on we were better simple as The rest, overall pretty poor and anonymous, exception being MacArthur who was decent second half |

What has RH done to PVA I had him down and he felt like a BFS mercenary seems to be playing not just today with passion, feels like a Palace player never did before.

Yes, Sakho coming on certainly improved things, especially the distribution, and the substitution of Kenedy gave TFM less to worry about and he and generally the midfield were much better.
Re Shelvey evidence again he will never be a top, top player, pulled the strings 1st half, poor in the 2nd. PVA MOM.

I don’t think Right Back is a position for him. He gets beaten by clever movement. Positionally he is shocking... the amount of room the wide player had was shocking. He is just fast.

He is very young, quick and will be a hell of a player in a few years. Still learning, made some horrible errors today as he has done in several games recently.

TFM defends like a headless chicken. Bring back Ward, with the possession we had he would have contributed more in attack as well.
PVA excellent McArthur MOM. He is the best we have at supporting the striker, just play him there.

Wilf and Kenedy were the two most dangerous players on the pitch. We couldn’t get Wilf in space in the first half, Kenedy had acres to work with, so I wouldn’t be too harsh on TFM. That’s quite a big win for Benitez, disappointed Roy took until half time to do anything about it. Breathed a sigh of relief when they took off Kenedy.
Major plus point is the continuing excellent form of PVA. That interception, mazy run and chance laid on a plate for Benteke! He’s the full back I’ve been dreaming of. As others have said, it’s great news for Wilf, especially with a run of games coming up where we’re more likely to play 4-5-1. Also, WH is playing well, pleased to be proven wrong about him. |
