It's the law of averages. They are due a win.
We do need to wake the f*** up though.

These late goals conceded against Leicester and Wolves have severely effected us. Our morale is shot, teams we play against know this and that even with a two goal lead they're not beat.

Sacked off a world class manager we wouldn't back and built an elite squad for a f***ing six former

f*** me.
Concede a sunday league goal then just fall apart and make palace look like an actual football team. What a pile of bollocks.
Just what the actual f*** is our defensive plan? This is what pisses me off far more than losing to Palace. We can't defend. We can't defend in any conceivable way and that's a far more serious issue than losing one game to a bunch of bellends with a shit song.

Before that the commentators were scathing of Minteh, Baleba and Ayari.

Post match interviews do not look good, he simply did not seem that bothered after the leicester match or indeed wolves. Seems complacent and a bit smug at times. Desperately missing De Zerbi. He lost all his best players being sold and was not backed after his first season when the football was outstanding and the first half of season 2
I like to see the young develop but he isn't ready for a club of our ambition.
I hope Mullery goes in at half time and tells the lads what they need to win this match.
The fans are also way off today. Let's hope they can find some heart and spirit to drive them on.
Do I detect sarcasm in your response?

So much wrong at the moment.
Fab - out of his depth on this viewing. What were these 'discussions' this week? Only tactics seem to be long balls V a solid back 3 and incredibly slow passing between our centre backs. We look scared and cowards and so does he. Dunk should be NOWHERE near this team. Couldn't' believe his first action was to give away a foul at a corner. Thick as shit. Horrible to hear those Palace chants that followed too.
Lamptey - lovely guy but he shouldn't play for this team. I know we have injuries but every game he has blunders and our coaching doesn't rectify it.
Medical team - We always have so many players injured. Palace would be obliterated if they had this as their squad is short.
Set pieces - Ayari is terrible at them. Do we coach defending them.
Baleba - needs coaching
We need to come out with some fight and passion. As a club, we lap up the plaudit but have chucked away so many points and been fortunate with the ones we have got. If we lose 4-0 but give everything no problem. If we go through the motions and offer nothing, that is not acceptable.
Tony deserves so much better.

Very, very poor half from us. We have looked entirely clueless in transitioning play from defence into attack, resorting to long balls basically to try and turn their defence around, with minimal success.
Two extremely poor goals to concede, and Palace could and probably should have had a couple more. Dreadful defending from a decent-ish corner, but you’d expect that to be cleared on the near post by the first man 99 times out of 100. And just awful from Lamptey and then our centre-backs for the second.
We just haven’t turned up so far and have been outdone tactically, mentally and physically.
Huge improvement needed, that was dreadful to be honest.

With all the European games, the players were shattered come February.

Look on the bright side..no 2 -0 lead to squander!
Dunk should have not have been stuck straight back in to knacker the defence which imo had looked solid with Igor and JPvH.

Yep, van Hecke and Igor were rock solid.

This may have been discussed and to be clear I am not denying Palace deserve to be winning but, Oliver blocked Baleba (?) when he had a good chance of winning the ball. Palace broke and got two corners, the second of which they scored from. Shouldn’t the ref stop play if he gets in the way of a player?
