Only player worth rating is Lucas - 7.

No idea why we started with Skipp, Winks and PEH. Added no fcuking value.

Nuno fcuked up big time. People who say 4 games he needs time can do one. Patrick Viera had the same amount of games and his team played to play football.

I don't see much changing especially when after 55mins he still doesn't see we need Gil or NDombele.

Can we finally all agree Davies and Winks aren’t good enough to be in this squad? [Honorable mention to Doherty who also badly needs shipping out]

Skipp was great and Lucas worked his balls off.

I could have a go at the usual crowd. But today I will focus on reguillon.

His passing is atrocious, this is not based one game. Today he lost the ball almost every time he got into the opponent's half.

Defensively he has improved, but when you put him with Dele, winks and Lucas it means we don't keep the ball.

We are still in the 'rebuild' phase but so many players still don't cut the mustard. Of the ones who played today - winks, Dele, reguillon and Davies.

But FFS Nuno, how could he watch that and not bring on ndombele/Gil.

Rodon, Reguilon mostly solid, I guess Lucas for trying. But realistically that was the worst 90 mins I’ve seen in a long long time.

Nuno - 1.5/10

For making the trip to Croydon, although we probably would have been better off today without him.

Ouch. Hard to watch that.

I know we had players missing, others not 100%, some playing out of position and debutants, but the lack of cohesion and confidence was what was so disappointing.

Lucas motm for effort.

Nuno 3 so negative to start with which gave palace the confidence, no excuse not to play Gil and tanguy should be playing over Alli and winks even if half fit

Lloris 6 some dodgy clearances but claimed the ball well under pressure at times

Emerson 7 handled zaha well I thought
Tanganga 5 Cost us with the red, was good otherwise
Dier N/A
Reguilon 7 got forward well and fine defending

Hojbjerg 7 solid and smart on the ball but not the creativity we needed
Skipp 6 too many sloppy passes I thought
Winks 5 very poor for our most creative player couldn’t play a ball more than 5 yards

Lucas 8 MOTM looked the only dangerous player
Kane 5 offered nothing
Alli 6 tried but anonymous and ineffective

Rodon 7 did well I thought

Gallagher MotM.
Lucas our best player.

Circumstances fucked us. Take it on the chin and move on. A day to forget.

Lucas is the only player who no matter how it’s going tries. Can’t rate anyone on ability today, but Lucas gives a fuck.

Tanganga was solid until that rush of blood.
Kane got no service although Lucas tried.
Rodon solid.
Emerson, mediocre but should get better after this first game under his belt
Davies, Reguilon, Dele, Lloris, Skipp very poor in my opinion. Winks was not too bad by his low standards.

Dier my motm who did no wrong in the 10 mins he played. Other credited player would be Lucas and probably PEH.

Oh how I miss Coco

Lloris: 3. Poor distribution throughout kept us on the back foot and got Dier injured.

Reguilon: 3. Ran up and down a bit. End product was absolutely atrocious.

Rodon: 7. Came on and barely put a foot wrong. Promising performance.

Tanganga: 4. Was good until the pointless sending-off, that now leaves us short for our next game.

Emerson: 5. Beaten by Zaha a few times, but overall a pretty average performance.

Skipp: 5. Anonymous. No major mistakes, but didn't do much defensively or in possession.

Winks: 5. Busy. The only player who wanted the ball, but failed to do anything with it.

Hojbjerg: 4. Anonymous. Offered nothing at all in the box-to-box role and wasted our only promising half-chance with a baffling pass.

Dele: 3. No movement, no passing, no creativity, no shots.

Lucas: 6. The only bright spark with his dribbling.

Kane: 3. Tripping over his own feet at every opportunity, lazy in his movement.

Davies: 3. Out of position in a team down to ten men, and he played like it.

Nuno: 0. Changed the formation to one the players clearly didn't understand or enjoy. Named a line-up devoid of creativity, and we saw entirely predictable results as we created nothing and couldn't sustain possession or pressure. Changed nothing despite the obvious failings, and by leaving it so late, let Palace get a strangle-hold on the game. His decision not to bring on Gil in reaction to Palace's second can only be understood as him giving up entirely.

Kane got no service although Lucas tried.

Kane got no service in part because he wasn’t even trying. There was one moment in the second half that stood out to me, Reguilon was in a crossing position with only Lucas in the box, and Kane was strolling sideways rather than running in.

I thought Tanganga was awesome until the unfortunate red. Moura was our only attacking threat. Alli is looking good for us but would have preferred him in the midfield three as Winks looked out of his depth today amd brought absolutely nothing to the side except filling space PEH or Skipp could easily cover. Would have preferred to see Bryan Gill as our third attacker or even Dilan Markanday, players who have a natural threat in those positions. Rodon looked ok after he came on we will need him now and Reggie and Emerson had some ok moments. Kane was anonymous can’t be long before he will be substituted if he keeps performing like that.
