Crystal Palace 0 – 0 Manchester United

A turgid game under cloud saw United register a third consecutive 0 – 0 draw with Palace putting an end to two consecutive defeats. Palace played well with Dann and Gayle going close forcing a good save from David de Gae. Antony Marceau played on the wing and gave Kelly a difficult time. Indeed Palace went close on a number of occasions.

Manchester United played a dull tacanacio style of play in the Italian tradition of play which was popular in Italy in 1990. However in modern Football the tactics do not fit in with the modern game and basically Louis Van Gaal has come under criticism for not playing expansively with many supporters criticising the tactic because they see it as dull.


Indeed Palace made a game of it yet despite the odd chance Palace did not quite create enough and Palace move on to face Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp next weekend on Sunday knowing they will face a tough battle to gain anything yet given the tough history of the fixture from 9 – 0 to 4 -3 it is likely anything can happen.
