We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Brighton

Here are some of your comments:

Crystal Palace fans

Dave: Some great performances across the team and particularly in defence. But as the game went on, the team looked really tired so I was happy with the point at the final whistle. I think we may need some reinforcements in January.

Paul: Again two points dropped, missing great chances to score. There have been a lot of games this season we should have won. The Brighton dive for the penalty was rightly booked - Tom Daley would have been proud! Jean-Philippe Mateta needs a rest.

Dave: Looked tired in the final 10 to 20 minutes but probably should have nicked it. Those midweek games do take their toll. We need a couple of decent additions in January.

Steve: Fatigue is fast becoming a crucial factor, contributing to a lacklustre Palace display. Some are clearly running on empty. So it's time for some of the fringe players to step up. Brighton were tidy on the ball, but created very little. A draw was probably the right result. Now, we move on to go after a much-needed away win at Wolves after the international break.

Brighton fans

Ian: Only Brighton have the ability to control a game that much and come away with a draw. If it was Palace placing that much pressure in the final third, they would've won by three clear goals. Brighton seriously have to get a grip on putting games like this to bed. The quantity of games drawn is once again proving costly and will give us another mid-table finish this season.

Stuart: Carlos Baleba is half the player he was from last season. Obviously his head is elsewhere right now and we are suffering in the middle of the park. Kaoru Mitoma's absence is also a factor as Yankuba Minteh is shouldering all responsibility for our wide creativity and it is unbalanced. That said, a decent result and a strong defensive display against a decent Palace. A lot more to come from Albion.

Adam: Brighton played well and stifled Crystal Palace's attack. Great saves from Bart Verbruggen and a good point away from home. But we should've dominated that game much more given we had eight days' rest.

Joe: Bart Verbruggen take a bow - two outstanding saves to keep us in it. He's put an iffy season last year behind him. Minteh again showed how technically poor he is - it really shows in the final third. Both sides had big chances that were not taken.

Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen speaking to BBC Radio Sussex after the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace: "There are a lot of positives to take from the game. We defended really well as a team and I don't think Palace created too many opportunities and chances.

"We need to improve those small margins to get a goal and a win. It is something we will work on after the international break and hopefully we will continue to improve to go a winning run.

"The boys were fighting on the pitch and trying not to concede shots, but I was happy to help twice when needed.

"I don't think we are doing too much different than the beginning of the season. We speak a lot about the importance of clean sheets and trying to restrict shots."

Captain Lewis Dunk added: "We defended solidly and didn't give them many chances. Back-to-back clean sheets is always a good thing.

"I thought it was a good battle with the two teams going at each other."

While Crystal Palace had a quick turnaround after their European exertions, there was no such busy schedule to hamper Brighton, yet the Seagulls seemed to suffer from the same sluggishness as their opponents.

Head coach Fabian Hurzeler, who was booked for dissent and now faces a touchline ban, will be pleased with a second clean sheet in two games – as many as his side had managed in their previous 22 league matches - but they lacked spark when going forward.

Diego Gomez was an exception as he created four chances - double that of any other player in the match - but Yankuba Minteh was some way off his best with his poor finish late in the first half symptomatic of his overall display.

Georginio Rutter, who could have no complaints over his booking for diving following the penalty incident, played just off striker Danny Welbeck, but they failed to muster a shot between them in the match.

It continues a strange start to the campaign for Brighton, who sit 11th, a point behind Palace in 10th, after 11 games.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace: "I agree [we defended really well]. That's what I said before the game, it's about keeping clean sheets.

"If we use our chances then we are the deserved winner in this game but sometimes football is like this.

"In the end, we are disappointed that we didn't win because we played really well, controlled the game and created a lot of chances. But we have to accept it."

On overturned penalty decision: "I didn't have a look at it yet so I'll have a look and then we'll see."

On international break after decent run: "There are pros and cons. We always focus on performance and we really made a step forward.

"We continue our progress but there are still small margins where we can be better. But the basic things, the structure is quite good at the moment."

On picking unchanged XI for first time as Brighton boss: "We wanted the consistency and then after the international break, the crunch time is starting and we need all of the players."

Whether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.
