If he had touched the player it would have been a red. There was a ball between him and the player and it wasn't even close to him.
It was a stupid and unnecessary challenge to make

Doesn't matter whether he touched the player or not, he was out of control and reckless.

You're never getting a red card for that

Frustrating game that, thought we played pretty well overall. Struggled with the palace bus park in the second half.
We aren't giving too many shots away at the moment which is a big improvement.

Should be a no tolerance approach to those sort of challenges, same as head contact in rugby. Neither the intent nor the outcome should make any difference.

Shaky first half aside, that should have been a gift for Palace. The goal was so open for Eze he could have just whiffed it in. Feels like we lost two points instead of winning one. Both keepers had sterling games, mind.
Palace are slowly coming together - wish they’d sort it out faster though.

How on earth is that not a red. That's not a legitimate technique to win the ball and control it, he was angry.

Sounds like Odobert could be out for a while. Possibly till around Christmas.

I reckon it’s a clear red. Henderson giving the ref two barrels is as bad as a double foot stomp apparently.

Yeah I thought it was a clear red and completely unnecessary. Frustrating match.
Some actual great to watch football in the first half, should have been winning. The passing in the middle of the park was nice and the link up from the forwards looked good too.
Second half not so good. The subs had no impact at all. Bruno had a bad game. He lost the ball 34 times according to stats, and you could tell from watching. Wasted so many good positions.
Silver lining is we didn't get spanked like last season. So progress?

That should be a red all day.
Shame about odobert, he’s looked decent so far and we need him with European games coming up.

Second half not so good. The subs had no impact at all. I think they were the right subs to make though, they just didn't perform. Zirkzee was good today I thought, he makes things happen and quickens our attacking play. Bruno was playing like we were winning 5-0 all game, really frustrating and wasteful.

I didn’t like Palace’s subs. Might as well have said “you know what, we’ll take the point” at the end. We had at least one decent play that could have won the game with another striker on the field.
