Manchester United grab a late winner to rob Crystal Palace
of a point
Mathieu Flamini handed his first start of the season
Rooney still
waiting to equal Sir Bobby CharltonÂ’s club record.
Palace started the match 13 minutes after United did only
having 14 touches in the opening 13 minutes of the game
Slowly palace grew
into the game but the consistently miss placed passes gifting United the ball.
Palace though looked more dangerous on the attack however in typical palace fashion
nothing happened once the ball was within 25 Yards of de GeaÂ’s goal.
The game was rather flat and the poor passing of palace only
grew everyoneÂ’s frustration
Marcos Rojo was lucky to still be on the pitch
after a two-footed tackle on Zaha only put his name on the yellow card
What
seems like every game we gave away a silly foul at the dying moments of the
first half
Which gave United the lead with a scrappy finish from the £100 million
man Paul Pogba.
The second half was no different to the first poor passing
and very little movement
In a moment of brilliance from the Palace defence
Joel Ward shimmied his way through from the left to pass it to Damien Delaney
to produce a world class flick though for PalaceÂ’s 2nd top goal
scorer James McArthur to simply poke home.
This brought the game back level and Palace seemed a much stronger side after the goal although the passing in our own half was shocking. Wayne Hennessey was on top form pulling out top saves to keep palace in the game.
With the game going back and forth Alan decided to freshen
up the team
He subbed Ezekiel Fryers for Lee Chung-yong then a short while
after he subbed the goal scorer McArthur for Fraizer Campbell seconds later
Pogba pings a ball to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and he scores to make it 2-1 to United
in the final moments of the game
Why would you try and get the winner against
Manchester United and risk a point when you are in a relegation battle I will
never know.
Alan Pardew said after the game “We’re scoring goals that’s
in important…” I agree with Alan however scoring less goals than the opposition
will cause us problems thus we sit 16th with 15 points in the middle
of December
Only having won 6 games in the whole of 2016
Something must change.
