Crystal Palace 0-0 West Ham - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Monday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and West Ham United at Selhurst Park.
Here are some of your comments:
Crystal Palace fans
Al: A dour draw against a fighting West Ham side. I'm worried about Brennan Johnson, he looks lost and out of confidence. Perhaps a break before next season will help. Another game of seeing Jaydee Canvot getting better and better. Anfield up next against a shaky Liverpool, which might just be ideal for Palace.
Richard: Humdrum stuff from Palace, but teams in West Ham's position can be hard to play against. Johnson did himself no favours with that miss though. Dean Henderson's save was worth the admission though. I'm not grumbling after Thursday.
D Lowe: If Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta had started, this was a game Palace should've won. I'm not happy that two points were lost. We fielded a weaker team at the start, which is never good. Canvot has definitely replaced Marc Guehi, and he still has years of playing time.
Dave: The performance was kind of expected from Palace. It was a good point against a fired up West Ham. We missed Adam Wharton and we were too slow in transition. The substitutes made an impact in the second half, but we didn't do enough to win the match. I'm really pleased we didn't get any new injuries as the main focus is the Europa Conference League game!
West Ham fans
Chris: I can't help feeling it was a missed opportunity for three points, but it was still a good and confidence-building performance. Jarrod Bowen was kept quiet by their left-back and Crysencio Summerville isn't back to his best. So while the defence claims another clean sheet, there's better to come up front. It just has to happen soon.
Sue: It's so frustrating watching at the moment. They are playing well but they can't seem to score. They have to keep going and keep thinking positively. A point away to Palace is a good effort.
Norbet: We didn't have the decisive edge to win against Palace, who had no motivation and no chance of gaining European football. It's looking decidedly like the Championship beckons for a poor West Ham side.
James: Very cagey but the old adage of 'if you can't win then don't lose' comes to mind. If a point is all it takes for survival come the final day, this will be priceless.
Bubba: If only we had played like this throughout the whole season. It remains to be seen if this turnaround will be sufficient enough or too little too late. I hope the fans who worked to get David Moyes out are admitting, at least to themselves, that they are responsible for our current predicament.
