Spot on....we need craft and guile in the final third...hopefully that can come next season....until then its blood and thunder:D
2) Palace lacked a cutting edge
Alan Pardew said that Crystal Palace’s performance in their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal was the best that they have produced since he took over last month and the numbers certainly helped his argument. Palace had more shots, more possession and more corners, while they also felt that Arsenal’s first goal should have been a free-kick instead of a penalty and that their second goal should have been disallowed for offside. Yet Palace were not refined enough in the final third. They failed to test David Ospina in the first half and although there were some near misses in the second half, the Arsenal goalkeeper did not make a meaningful save until he kept out a Glenn Murray header near the end. Palace’s forceful style would have paid off if Murray’s stoppage-time header had flown an inch or two to the left, instead of crashing against the post, but the truth is that they need more subtlety.
