After back to back losses we could do with winning this one

We've started well. This Palace side look *****....we should be hammering them.

1-0 to us at half time but really we're lucky to be in front. Palace were the better team with the better chances and if it weren't for Alisson we would have been behind. Palace aren't a very good side atm so it's a bit worrying we allowed them to play like this.

We win quite comfortably at the end with three goals to one, but Alisson is still motm for me, the only way they could beat him was via a bullsh1t pen at the very last minute. Can't believe people were saying he's washed because he made a few mistakes agains Fenerbahche, Ali is still among the best in the world for me and he shown that today.

Anyway, not the best game we played, especially in the first half, but also it's good we can win games where we aren't playing well.

As the likes of City and Chelsea demonstrated there are no easy games in this division, particularly away from home. If you are not at it anyone can turn you over. Yes we rode our luck and yes Alisson saved our ar.ses on more that one occassion but the lads  battled  hard and ran hard and todays  game demonstrated exactly why you do that - because even when you are not at your free flowing best if you work hard you can come away with all the points.
Wirtz's and Barcola's work rate is severly under-rated, both lads put a  proper shift in which is great to see.
As for their pen i have been watching us for over half a century and i've never seen us concede a pen like  that - refs are basicalling taking the p1.ss out of us now.

Much needed 3 points, Alli had a good performance, shame we couldn't get a clean sheet with the pen at the end. After 2 losses, was important getting a win, time to regroup and hope for no injuries from internationals. We seem to be doing better on our travels then at home this season...

We are definitely improving, the players are working far harder than they did last season and whilst still not perfect we have stiffened up a lot defensively, compare that to last season where we were conceding goals like they were going out of fashion we were outworked by everyone and could barely win a tackle and the manager deserves credit.
Dont get me wrong we have still clearly got a long way to go before we get to where we want to be but at least the general direction of travel is there.
