Last night's viewing - Another 0-0 draw for Man Utd, their 3rd in a row and another fairly miserable match to watch.

It was tricky viewing, and I'm not just talking about the football. The foggy conditions made visibility poor for players, and viewers alike. And it's fair to say, we didn't really miss much. Manchester United never really threatened Crystal Palace's goal, with Guaita only making 1 save all match, albeit an impressive finger-tip save from a Nemanja Matic strike.

The better chances came to Crystal Palace. Christian Benteke failed to make contact with a good lay off and late on, Henderson came out quickly to smother Patrick van Aanholt's effort. van Aanholt appeared offside but replays showed that he probably wasn't (it didn't need to go to VAR) - he probably should have scored.

Crystal Palace looked comfortable all match and Solskjaer will be wondering what he can change to get more out of his players - They looked tired and devoid of ideas in attack and if they continue to play like this, despite the gap, could miss out on a top 4 spot to a resurgent Chelsea, Spurs and maybe even West Ham.

This match was so poor, that even squeezing out the above was a challenge!!

Manchester United is not doing well at all. But that has been going on for a long time.

It's not the fog. It's the poor approach to the game on the pitch.

Very nice your observations. Cheers!
