Of course its relevant, You are saying Warnock had this perfect game plan and Martinez should have learnt from last season, We had control over the game, We are 1-0 up inside 9 mins, Then stupid errors allow them back into the game

How can he account for players cocking up?

After 15 mins Palace moved up the pitch and defended from the top; as soon as we stepped foot in there half they were trying to stop us playing, this didn't happen in the first 15 and we had the game in the bag. Once they pushed up the pitch they stopped the fluidity of our play, forcing errors; the same thing we did last year.

Warnock setup to defend on the edge of the box, this wasn;t working because we would have went about 5 up inside 30 minutes; he moved his players further up the pitch.

This individual error argument can only go on for so long; this is now 13 goals in 5 game and that is concerning.
 


Such a frustrating game.

Can't help but feel some of the mistakes were bobby's fault, the changes didn't pay off and could have been saved for tuesday.

Stones was clearly targeted by palace for the long diagonal, bolasie had him rattled which clearly led to the hesitation which resulted in the penalty, probably could have moved jags there instead as he's better at the physical side of the game.
Distin didn't play badly but upset the balance of the side by being shoehorned back in at the firsy opportunity.

once again it's clear for everyone to see that osman should not be starting, he has his uses but playing 90 minutes is not one of them.
Atsu looked full of nerves and suffered as such but does look like he has potential.
Eto'o was wasted out wide, his vision and quick feet would have been better central.
Rom took his goal well but either wasn't trying or still isn't fully fit as he didn't get about enough, clearly frustrated at the end.


on the plus side we still look like we can score goals
mirallas and naismith made an obvious impact off the bench making us look more dangerous but all too late

lastly, from where i was sat it looked like howard was fouled for their second, anyone clear that up?
 
But they did not create chances through there own play, As in cutting the defence open, We hand served them 3 goals

We don't make costly errors and they do nothing
That's a little disingenuous. I think they caused us problems aside from those made by errors. I'm not sure they would have won, mind.
