Agreed. if you can't score, then you have to do what every manager since Nuno realised. You have to make us rock solid and hard to beat.This is reminiscent of Lageball (as opposed to Brunoball), without the defensive solidity. Deep lying midfield offering nothing going forwards, but frequently carved open.
The score probably flatters Palace. But clearly, their forwards are better than ours, so not totally undeserved. We've had one shot in the second half - a goal from a set piece. If we could score when we were on top, in the first half, the entire match changes. Defending a lead is very different to trying to get back into a match.
If we'd taken the lead earlier, we wouldn't have needed to score 4 to win.
