Son and Alli were the standouts that half for me. Hugo has been his freakishly consistent self. Kane is looking pretty suspect this season so far, though I think a goal will do him the world of good.

Although Walker messed up the pass, he did well to stay composed in front of that guy taking the piss with the rolls and flicks, and took the ball extremely cleanly whilst giving him no room to cross. It's been a good half for him apart from a stray pass that through the ball bouncing in Palace's favour three or four times (something lacking for us) got them a half chance.

Don't care, he destabilises the whole team. I don't want him to start anymore. I've absolutely had enough of it and poch needs to get a grip with this and start tripp for a run of games.

It is holding us back.

I agree we would be better with Trippier and Rose overlapping and crossing into the box, so hopefully Trippier will come on later. Alli and Dier could become a great partnership in the middle. Alli looks so good generally. Son's pace is amazing. We need to take more shots and have less intricate passing.

I think Kane needs to do a bit more.

Palace are making it difficult for us though, just got to be clinical when the chances come.

As well as encouraging passing and movement, before the abrupt stop at Palace's massed ranks, I was quite surprised by how much we were getting physical with them in the first 30 mins, seemed some decent pressing for once stopping Palace from getting it up the field accurately. It's dropped off a little though..

It should be noted that the fullbacks are probably having to watch for Palace's three speedsters on the break, but I'd like to think the game is about taking some risks and at times being brave in how you play. We need them to get up on the overlap and stretch the game. With Dier sitting in midfield there is some insurance.

Looked in control
Need a little more urgency at times
Kane really needs to relax it will happen but he has to start playing for the team more.
Walker is a liability far to often
Chadli shows he can beat a man and cross if he wants to but why is it so rare?
Better from lamela today hope he keeps it up should have slid in for Kane shot across the goal line though
Alli looks like he can play anywhere but needs to do things a fraction earlier at this level it will come good.

Really need to score first because palace look capable of shutting us out
