You could say that with every one of our games with every other player in our team. MGW tries flicks and every other trick all the time and they mostly fail and causes problems so you just can't blame Murillo because of one f**k up today.

Just before half time, in his own half, with a simple 5 yard pass to play and he’s trying nutmegs. It’s about game management at that point. Unacceptable from him.

I’d be saying the same thing if any player was trying that at that point of the game, especially in the position he did it.

Tbf MGW gets plenty of blame for his little flicks etc going wrong so in a way it’s only right others do when they mess up.

At the end of the day everyone makes mistakes during games but that dosen't excuse Nico from wanting to be the next Peter Shilton.

Murillo and Neco are both consistent performers. So both messed up, it happens. Neco is Mr Reliable, Murillo tries the spectacular and you don’t want to take that away from his game. Thought MGW was excellent today, every one of them put in a proper shift. In hindsight wish we had been a bit braver because they barely troubled us but you have to commend the discipline.

If MGW had got the pass right for Sangare I think the roof would have fallen in!

Also Glasner was shitting himself every time went forward. He also bollocked them loads for playing out too quickly - he was happy with a point!
A lost opportunity today as 11v11 I think we’d have had too much for them.

Aina as well, and CHO, and Anderson and others - all gave the ball away a few times trying "clever" passes.

Thats the game, sometimes they work, sometimes not......sometimes when they fail nothing happens, other times it does.

The game would become very boring if all they did was sensible passes all the time.

I dont get the criticism.

I do - he also had an easy pass on - I’d rather he did a 60 yard switch that goes out of play the other side than do what he did - it left Milenkovic no choice but to hit it out for a corner.

I'd be incredibly surprised if we don't finish above Palace, they were poor.

A decent point and a better performance. Onwards.
