A great all round performance by Roefs, made a number of really good saves, was confident when coming to claim high balls and unflappable with the ball at his feet.<\/p>\n
Good defensive display by Hume, put in a couple of customary sliding tackles where he wins the ball cleanly and one of which led to Diarra firing just over.<\/p>\n
Completely shut down Mateta, with the big striker manhandled and Mukiele also being too quick for him.<\/p>\n
Comfortable with the ball to feet and read the game well to get into positions to step in front of a Palace player and win the ball.<\/p>\n
Despite Munoz usually being very dangerous for the hosts, nothing came down the right due to Reinildo\u2019s defending. Tried to get forward at times but very good defensively.<\/p>\n
Had a very good first half, was all over the pitch and didn\u2019t give any of the Palace midfield space to breathe, was also lively going forward with quick turns to make space for himself. Dropped a little after the break but still a good game.<\/p>\n
Sat in front of the back four and dictated play, both in and out of possession. Not his best game on the ball but won the ball back often and also got his head to a few high balls.<\/p>\n
Had what ended up being our best chance in the first half when his touch and shot from Adingra\u2019s cross was blocked at close ranger, maybe should have hit it first time. Some great work off the ball but not a lot of danger with it.<\/p>\n
Curled a left-footed effort just over the bar in the second half and covered so much ground when we were out of possession. Just didn\u2019t get much room when we had the ball due to Palace sitting deep.<\/p>\n
A quiet game other than a 10 to 15 minute spell just before half time where he got some space to cause trouble. Put in a good cross to Talbi and then a cross-cum-shot had to be tipped over by Henderson but struggled to find room to operate for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n
Worked hard off the ball but very little to work with on it, had a few instinctive shots on goal that were barely a chance, one a volley that he hooked well wide and then a snapshot from a Mukiele throw-in that wasn\u2019t far away.<\/p>\n
Came on with the team going deeper and deeper to make sure we came away with a point and couldn\u2019t quite get into the game.<\/p>\n
Lutsharel Geertruida: 6\/10<\/p>\n
Came on for Sadiki and sat alongside Xhaka as we looked to preserve the point, did show quick feet in the Palace half at one point..<\/p>\n
A very late change as we saw out the game.<\/p>\n
Man of the Match: Robin Roefs<\/p>\n
There were good performances throughout the team today, particularly defensively but the man of the match is clearly Robin Roefs. Was assertive when coming for crosses and high balls and always won them, extremely calm with the ball to feet and made a number of really good saves, with a save low down to his right from Kamada being exceptional.<\/p>\n
