Agreed. Someone who can drive with the ball from midfield. Looks a good player.

Yep very good player. Can do everything you want from a CM / CDM to good premier league standard

Justin’s positioning is a real problem. We look really exposed.

He is being asked to play RW when attacking with Kristiansen playing as the 3rd CB, I like the change.

I mean to say Ayew is growing on me would be an understatement. 

 

Liking Skipp too.

 

Actually couldn't name a player who hasn't been decent so far. Ndidi doing well too!

Justin?

[The Guvnor]

Really good first half, terrific  goal from Vards.
Okoli gives us the physicality we needed, and he’s looking a decent acquisition.Bit more clinical around the goal and it’s in the bag!

 

 

[Fazzer 7]

Surprisingly that was a decent half, but really should be 2 up

[JamesfromlondonLCFC]

I really like Ayew not gonna lie. Bit of a shithouse, got some good ball control and understands the game well. Sure he's not the goalscorer we wanted. But he seems like a more than worthwhile addition so far.

I must say, this is a lot better than I dared hope. Although Glenn Whelan will still have you believe Palace had the best half and Nketiah is the best player to grace the Premier League. 

[Fox85]

Ayew been decent.

Infact I think the whole team has veen decent tbh.

 

The only thing I'd change is Ndidi for Buonanotte or El Khannouss

[foxfanazer]

I will never ever get bored of seeing Vardy score goals for us

[Vacamion]

 

The Crystal Palace bench looked haunted. 

 

There was an ethereal presence shimmering in bright light over Glasner's shoulder.

 

Then I realised it was Will Hughes.

I don’t agree with this at all.

 

We aren’t pressing as high as we did at the start of the game, all with the same amount of energy.

 

But we’re not deep at all.

 

What’s causing us difficulties to me is our flat 4’s in defence against a Palace attacking shape that is more staggered - and letting their better passers too much time on the ball.

 

Good to get into halftime in front though to regroup and go again.

[Kierzz]

By far Ndidi's best half of football this season.

 

Would love to see his stats from that half. e

Especially number of tackles / turnovers of possession.

I took the piss at the start but it's actually obscene how many freekicks Ayew wins  Is that 5 in this half?

should've signed a set piece specialist ffs

[Jaspa]

Great half, Palace had chances too. Need to take this away from them, still be patient but keep sharp.

 

Okoli v Mateta an interesting one. Ayew gives us something much different.

[Muzzy_no7]

Oliver Skipp is a better footballer than KDH

[foxfanazer]

Vardy outpacing Guehi and rounding the keeper. The guy's a freak

Another week, another reminder of how much we've dropped off.

 

Palace fans.. Palace fans booing them off cus they're down at half time to us 

but.. we are playing well... and winning 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

It looks like a good time to play Palace. I thought they’d be good this season, but they’ve lost a few key players and don’t look like a coherent team firing yet. We look good, other than JJ giving space to their left winger. 
 

We look like we’ve got the measure of them, but they can turn it around at home and as it’s us I’m not that confident. But so far so good.

At least it's shut up all the moaning from the keyboard experts for a while.

People keep sh*tting on Ayew but this is a game and a half now where he's been our most effective winger and actually doing his job in getting us up the pitch and either winning a free kick or recycling posession

You've got to be kidding me? He's been appalling today. Did ok vs Villa but today he's been horrid.

[Nolucklcfc]

Need to keep it up though. They’ll come right at us now

Not the best first half from Mavididi, seems stats agree 

Harsh rating given Ayew gets a 6.5

 

Hermansen deserves a higher rating too - done a lot of simple looking things (that aren’t necessarily) well.

Worst signing of the summer don’t you know 

[Harry96]

Good half tbf rode our luck a couple times but on the whole good performance. Midfield has been solid
