Palace played almost the same formation yesterday...

The big difference for me was the pace of the two either side of Mateta, where we had Crnac (out of position)on the left and Forson (who didn't get involved centrally enough) on the right of Sargent. Sargent also isn't one to hold the ball up well either. In the future I see Diallo on the left and possibly Kvistgarten on the right, which would probably improve the formation we played on Saturday.

Palace were pretty hoofy too (was that the liverpool high line?)...WB being the main area of creativity, got some half decent crosses in.
