[Romey 1878]

Such a nothing performance I can't vote for anyone.

[Palfy]

Went for Tarkowski thought he was our best player and covered Mykolenko’s arse most of the game, without his defensive performance we would have lost by a couple imo. 

[Shukes]

Going with Iwobi.

Good effort on goal and created a couple of opportunities. Best game he’s had for a long time.

[Bailey]

Garner for me. Thought it was his most complete performance to date.

Personally I thought he wasted so much of the ball and looked very edgy however the whole back 5 didn't do much better. 

Iwobi put in a huge effort, for that I will give it to him. Garner looked tidy, I am looking forward to seeing him with Onana next to him.

Gray had an absolute shocker for me along with Holgate of course.

I don't think you can lay into the back line all that much, Crystal Palace peppered our box with crosses and worked their way around the box a lot but we gave them very few chances at all. 

Holgate was clearly skinned all game by Ayew and was a walking red after he got his yellow.  If Dyche knew him he'd have known he had to get him off before he earnt himself another card but to be honest it was clear to anyone that he was still getting done during the second half.

Keane hasn't been mentioned but he won 12 balls in the air as well as 7 clearances and 4 interceptions so was clearly pivitol in keeping things out when they were attacking the box.

Shout out to DCL who showed how much we've missed having a centre forward.  though we still didn't create much, he kept their centre backs busy, won plenty of balls in the air and worked really hard.  Lovely bit of work to play the ball off then quick turn to get that left foot shot off.  Annoyingly we seemed to provide a lot less crosses into the box than when he wasn't in the side or at least good ones.

I opted for Garner, thought he had a decent game.
