87 minutes and Guehi heads Palace in front

There's a good chance he'll be doing that for a team such a Real Madrid or Man City next season.

Madrid list again tonight. There's a good chance Alonso might be looking for a job very soon. Hmmm...

Be interesting to see a conclusive replay of Casemiro’s challenge that led to a spawny goal

It looks as though the ball is played by him kicking through the Wolves players leg

Wolves are such a free hit for sides right now - I'm glad the Mancs get their second fixture against them towards the end of December (unless the fixtures have changed) so they don't have it at a key period of the season - like just before or after our scheduled fixture against them in May.

Anyone want to bet that we don't pick up 6 points in our two games against Wolves?

Don't say that, that's the only game i'm looking forward too at the moment

Oooooof that would be painful.

3 of our next 4 League matches are at Anfield and it's one of them - we really need something positive from this spell and you'd hope it would be the one thing closest to a Banker in that run.

I thought that about our latest run...

Forest (h)
PSV (h)
West Ham (a)
Sunderland (h)
Leeds (a)

That's one of the softest run of games we've ever had and to only pick up 5 points is absolutely criminal.

To be clear, I wasn't trying to suggest our next run of games will be "easy" or that I expect 10-12 points from it - just commenting that we need something positive from this spell and Wolves surely....SURELY is decent chance of a win.

I obviously have hopes for the other matches, but by no means am I taking anything for granted. I do hope we persist with the less expansive set-up for a bit as, despite the collapse against Leeds, we're a deflected goal (Sunderland) and a better Konaté decision (not sliding in) away from having a reasonably good chance at bagging 9 points. We didn't of course, but we didn't look like the side that conceded 10 goals in 3 matches, so I will take the marginal improvements (expecting more draws around the corner) right now so we can say the "rot" has stopped and then try and build from there and see what happens.

That's where this shows this is also on the players. That group should harvest more than 5 points from those games and maybe that's expectancy or a bit arrogant from us as fans but most people would think the same.
