Good win that.
Didn't like the booing of Schneiderlin, as much as I don't want to see him in a blue shirt again, in 30+ years of going the match I can't remember a player getting booed coming on.
Martina gets a hard time from a lot of fans so it's only right to give him praise when it's due. He had a great game, kept Townsend under control and bagged an assist.
Walcott just oozes class, great signing.
Niasse put in a great shift again, dragging defenders out of place and not letting them settle. One of the first names on the team sheet for me.
Gueye, Rooney, Sig and Davies played like a proper midfield. Davies gave it away a lot but I feel with his energy we play a lot better with him in the side.
Nice change to be happy on a Saturday, let's play the same team against Watford, exceptr any changes due to injury.

Oll, if a player comes to the club, gets paid a handsome wage and cannot perform to anywhere near the level, we know he can then I have no issue with booing him.
We know how he can perform, we saw it last season but, he hasn't come close to that this season. If he is unfit, nursing an injury then I will apologise for anything I have said about him but, if not then he is taking our money and taking the p***.

I agree to an extent, I really don't like the fella one bit, but I don't think it benefits anyone booing a player as he comes onto the pitch.

Hi Smit mate, i agree they are well paid and should put in a good shift, but Booing to me just does not help it effects the whole team and can unsettle them which can't be right mate, we are better than that.

If we were Leicester and we had mahrez come on who has been on strike for 2 weeks, would we boo? Yes.
Schneiderlin has ambled about that pitch all season and got away with it.
At least Williams and martina run about, yes they are rubbish and yes they make mistakes but, they have an interest in the game.

will agree to disagree mate, game of opinions.

Certainly is GB.

I don't think the booing was aimed at morgan personally but at the defensive sub everyone around me wanted to see tosun have a run out while we 3 nil up.

Allardyce said he was surprised that Schneiderlin was booed. He must be the only one who thinks he is putting in a shift. I am not happy with the booing but I understand it. It's not that Schnerderlin is bad this year it's just that he does not seem to care and strolls around the pitch. Maybe the boos will get the message through to him since Allardyce obviously does not get it across.

The booing was more the fact it was a defensive sub, and the 3rd defensive sub of the game!
Then what happens, Morgan stands watching as Palace attack, they get a corner which results in their goal.
Credit to Palace they started with 2 up top, something we will never see whilst we have Bisto on the touchline.
Guarantee that come next week, he will revert back to type and bring Morgan back in for Davies as well as maybe 4 other changes.
We won 3-1 so its 3 points closer to safety and that's the only positive I can take, other than Theo causing them major headaches with his directness with pace, now if only we had a winger to do that on the left, oh wait there we have, he's on loan at Leipzig!

At 3-0 up why wasn’t Tosun given valuable game time or even Klassen just get a real feeling that they are just going to sit rot through non involvement?
If football is now the business we are told it is why are people not being bought to task for poor investmentments?
