I commented before kick off that the team selection was a 8-0-2 set up and a very negative choice. This however was not a 'Snide' comment slagging it off. We have shipped on average 3 goals per away game so we had to do something to stop it. If a back 5 with 3 DCM's in front is what was required then so be it.

On top of this, as Gary Neville highlighted, even though we had less possession and territory, we still created the better chances.

Let's be honest though, our passing was atrocious as we struggled to find our own men when coming out from the back. This in turn put pressure on us with Palace coming straight back at us.

However, when we did get it right the system looked solid. Good cover defensively, fast counter attack breaks, and this was before Lens and Watmore came on. Once they were introduced we attacked at even greater speed.

In my opinion it's not perfect but it is getting the best out of the squad we have available, and who knows, with a bit on confidence we might turn the corner and start playing.

Finally, good to see Kaboul starting to look fit, confident and like the CB we hoped he would be!
