Manchester United 2-2 Crystal Palace

Quite hard for me to conceive that I’m disappointed with only a point away at Old Trafford, but with a 0-2 lead against ten men it does feel like a blown chance at what would have been a gigantic victory for Palace.

Referee went absolutely ballistic with early bookings for United with four in the first eleven minutes including the two for Lisandro Martinez, and then evened it up with four bookings for Palace in a game that really didn’t feel like it merited eight yellow cards.

Well played Steve, understand you’ll be disappointed to drop points again after Barnsley but great fightback from your boys.

MANCHESTER UNITED 2-2 Crystal Palace

We put out a bit of a predictable teamsheet and it showed in the game. We suffered an early red card and then trailed 2-0. We did show some spirit in pulling the game level but in truth we got very lucky. We always have a blip in the league and we're having that now, whether not playing well or not getting results we seem to have had a mix of them. Well done to Palace, another day they get the three points. Simply put a terrible day at the office from us!

Chelsea 2 - 1 Barnsley

This game exploded in the second half with all three goals coming after the half time break. We continue to chip in with goals from around the pitch with both coming from the back 6 defensive unit in Varane and Lamptey. Barnsley made it close and tight for us, but we mixed up our tactics and strategies and were always confident that we would win the game. Elsewhere both Manchester clubs drop points again.

Leeds Utd 1 Liverpool 1

I knew it was risky playing a passing style as Leeds have been playing a lot of counter attacking this season and when we went behind early to a penalty I thought it's going to be another one of those days.

It really was a bit of a non event of a game with both sides creating very little but thankfully we salvaged a late draw through Mudryk.

Been a dreadful first half of the season league wise it really has.

Arsenal 1 - 1 Cardiff City

A frustrating day at the office saw Arsenal held to yet another draw in a fixture that they really should be picking up three points in. Despite a much better performance from The Gunners. it was the visitors who silenced the crowd by taking the led and making it hard for Arsenal to get back into it but a Michael Olise strike on the hour mark rescued a point for the home side to make it another draw which is not god enough as the Arsenal boss said afterwards ;

" We played well enough today and should we have won it ? Well we were the better side but they really made it hard for us and we just struggled. Thankfully we got level and with the way we set up I was hopeful that we could have gone on to win but it wasn't possible so another draw it is ".

Right now we just dont seem to be firing on all cylinders so something is adrift somewhere which we will keep plugging away to find a solution ".
