Crystal Palace fans will be frustrated that their team only managed to take one point away from a match against bottom of the league Norwich City. It was a brilliant opportunity for the Eagles to push up the league and contend for the league’s fifth-place spot. But after drawing 1-1, Roy Hodgson’s side remains three points off fifth-place Manchester United (Premier League).
The result wasn’t the only thing the fans were unimpressed with. They thought the team played poorly as well. In fact, there was a sense of relief when they managed to take a point away from the game at all.
Terrible football from us so gotta b ecstatic with a draw.must waste 20 mins a game passing it pointlessly between the defence as again no forward movement from the mids.Terrible team 2 watch but cant moan at position in table.WP Jairo.Zaha looks uninterested.Luka waste of space

It’s dreadful let’s be honest, woy will be pleased for the effort, injuries, schedule, blah blah but it’s poor fodder but what do you expect from incredibly average players.

Half the first team out injured, players playing out of position, and we’ve still had a good haul of points over the Christmas period, and some folk are still not happy !

Got to invest in the team. A stronger squad pushes on, instead we fight to stand still. Dust the wallet off palace!

Roy will say we had lots of injuries but when you cannot beat a side that has no confidence it says it all about our confidence

Do you think Crystal Palace were lucky to get a draw from their match against Norwich?
Yes
No
One fan fan suggests that this is a sign that the club needs recruits in January.
Played awful.. but still picking up a point is testament to the players. Squads on its knees, board need to act.

What do we think?
Crystal Palace will take a short break from the league to face Derby in the FA Cup, but will then face Arsenal in the league upon their return (Crystal Palace). Hodgson will have to have his side ready if they want to take points off of Mikel Arteta’s team.
