Pretty classic stuff... We dominate the ball, look the better team, and then concede...

Now you have to deal with a classic Palace collapse in their box strategy for the rest of the game.

Not looking forward to it...

Well deserved goal for Veltmen, he has been unreal today!

 

[robertmac43]

Should have been a second there.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Dan Burn is hilarious to watch. It's like watching Gumby run up and down the pitch.

 

[SSF]

Wow, Benteke with the winner assuredly

 

[hatterson]

An awful ending to an atrocious game.

Congratulations Palace you successfully parked the bus against a team right near the bottom of the table.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

last second and a wonder goal.

defines against the run of play

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Calling that a smash and grab doesn't even do it justice.

 

[robertmac43]

Going to need a strong drink night...

Have six.

 

[SSF]

Haha Benteke just won a 19 year old 50 grand

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol, someone earned $50,000 on the NBCSN pick 'em on that goal.

Brighton v Palace derby this year:

Game 1: 1-1 Draw

Brighton 20 shots and 66% possession - Palace 34% possession 1 shot 1 goal from a penalty...

Game 2: 2-1 Palace Win:

Brighton 25 shots and 75% possession - Palace 3 shots and 25% possession..

The absolute worst is hearing commentators talk about how it was a good strategy for Palace because they won.

They got absolutely blown off the pitch and had maybe .01 xG for the entire game, but had two absurd finishes and stole points. It was in no way a good gameplan.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm sad.

 

[robertmac43]

Touches in the box 55-2 in favour of Brighton... You cannot even make this stuff up.

My new hope is New Castle get relegated and Callum Wilson signs for Brighton this summer.

2.59 - 0.18 xG to be exact...

Poor, poor Brighton

They always do.

Tim Howard is seriously a clown.

Eddie Nketiah on loan makes so much sense. Get a poacher with good movement in and Brighton finish much higher. Maybe Nketiah isn’t good enough yet though.

Might be too early, don't know how much more consistency he would offer.

I do like the idea of bringing someone like that in on loan though. It's a win-win; we get more goal threat and the young player gets a coach who will back them and who plays an attacking style.
