Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana, on the Palace penalty:
"If that is a penalty then there are probably nine or 10 a game. I am confused as to what is a penalty now. It is physical at corners and you are trying to get to men to block them. Without the legal physical contact it wouldn't be a game, would it?"
Brighton manager Graham Potter speaking to Sky Sports:
On the penalty: "The devils advocate would say if the player has hands up he gives the ref chance to give penalty. But the ref and VAR still have to decide if it is a foul or not. It didn't look a foul to me and he went down a bit easy. But they decided it was
"It looked a little soft. In defence of the referee, as soon as an arm goes up you give them an excuse to give the penalty.
"But, saying that, just because the arm goes up doesn't mean it is a penalty either. He went down very quickly and I'm not sure it was a penalty.
"VAR got to see it and gave the foul. I'm not convinced, when saw it live I thought it was a little bit cheap."

But they do, and often pick up wins. Consistently. Think we need to get our headS out our Arses and recognise their far better record at this level. We aren’t as great as we think we are. We just don’t beat them despite dominating last time too. And today we nearly lost.
Played Mac.
Wow, didn’t notice the flick from Connolly. Class play.

I sort of agree, its just that when Potter arrived we all had a **** fest, problem for me is, he walked into a Premier League managerial job with no experience and fair enough he's done okay.
Supporters are very fickle and it's a fine dividing line, if we had been beaten today we may have seen a slight meltdown.
In conclusion, penalty decision was a joke and our goal was deflected, a draw is a fair result, possession means nothing if you don't use it.

I felt this season we would progress, but at the moment I'm not seeing it.
We've only played 5 games you've gone a bit early there....

The old cliche 'goals change matches' applies here. Had Atwell inexplicably awarded a penalty to us and not them, they would have had to come out and play and it would likely have given us the space to repeat the Newcastle game. Instead his intervention allowed them to play exactly the way they like to play.
We are not the best at playing against teams lined up in front of us, but the bonus is that we got the draw, when I think last season, we would have lost.
Onwards comrades.

Read bits of this thread.What a load of miserable ***** you are !.Basically C Palace playing Hughton's game but with slightly better players. All the moaning and oh ahh crap. Southampton totally dominated the tossers from Croydon, and lost 1-0. We were ok I think he (Potter) could have made subs earlier. As for Lewis was hoping for someone to clear the ball.So it would hit him and go in. So obvious even Souness mentioned it, good point lads well done.
So for a well known quote Crystal Palace "are anti-football".

I thought there was more contact when Connolly went down at the end then there was for their penalty. Abject referreing performance really.

They often might, I don’t watch Palace unless they are playing Brighton.
They brought nothing today though, I can’t think of any time in the game when I was worried about them scoring (questionable penalty aside).
They looked a lot worse than I have seen them vs Brighton in previous seasons.
I’ve not said we are great but we are a relatively young team who will learn if given the opportunity.

Even if means championship? Come off it, we’d give our eye teeth to win at Old Trafford, Anfield etc whilst staying in the PL year after year. Points trumps purist I’m afraid. All.Day.Long.
