We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Premier League game between Ipswich and Crystal Palace.

Here are some of your comments:

Ipswich fans

Kieran: We struggle to break down teams who don’t take our invitation to press our back two. Both Everton and Crystal Palace have come to Portman Road and been happy to let us keep it at the back and then we don’t really know what to do next. Also lacking just that little bit of Premier League quality and physicality unfortunately.

James: Rather like the weekend's defeat at Nottingham Forest, this was a game of few chances that was decided by a sloppy goal from a defensive point of view. Both teams were nervy on the ball and seemed afraid to commit too many players to attack. We need to pick ourselves up again quickly for another tough home clash against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Adam: Worst performance of the season. So frustrating, passing back to keeper, no plan B. Plucky performances not translating into points and we are struggling to take points off those around us. Ominous signs.

Palace fans

Simon: A win was more important than the performance. We looked ordinary against a hard-working Ipswich team. We still aren't as fluid as we need to be but while it has been a disappointing first half of the season so far, there are positive signs and we can try to aim for 20 points by the halfway stage.

Tony: Palace were the better team over 90+ minutes and deserved the three points. They had a lucky escape when Ipswich hit the post but overall the points rightly went to south London.

Al: I felt Palace were in control through most of the game. The gameplan worked and nullified the opposition. Maxence Lacroix and Will Hughes had standout games. It could easily have been three goals with Eberechi Eze missing in the first half and Jean-Philippe Mateta missing in the second half when both were one on one with the keeper. Cheick Doucoure got a good 45 minutes and Jefferson Lerma fitted in well. The wing-backs were strong too.

Oliver Glasner spoke to the media after Crystal Palace's victory at Ipswich: "I feel very happy. It was not the best performance but the result was more important.

"Most of the time we controlled the game and we scored an amazing goal - a fantastic finish from JP [Mateta].

"We had more chances to decide the game. We couldn't but I think the win was well deserved. We didn't give them any chances from open play and with a clean sheet you can always take the win.

"It's a big win. Now it's not time to sit back and relax but to keep going. In four days we face Manchester City. We stay humble. There are still many things to improve but we are on the right path."

Heading into Saturday's game, nine league places and 10 points separated Crystal Palace and visitors Newcastle United. Yet, one common theme links them: inefficiency in front of goal.

Both teams are guilty of being two of the largest underperformers against their respective xG [expected goal] tallies for the season. Rather than being teams bereft of chances, they have simply not been clinical enough.

From Palace's perspective, this match played out entirely in that fashion. Daniel Munoz was central to that rollercoaster experience. His goal, coming from a final-minute 0.14xG opportunity, saved several blushes, having been guilty of missing his two previous (and better) chances.

It is difficult to find fault in the team's defence. An unfortunate own goal aside, the team held Newcastle to a single shot over 100 minutes, including added time.

Rather than conceding late, scoring an equaliser in such a fashion adds a positive spin to a draw that should have been a home victory. However, it extends the team's deficit to nearly seven goals under their xG tally.

Ahead of a crunch game on Tuesday against struggling Ipswich, Oliver Glasner's team cannot afford to continue that trend. The pair of draws to open this run of winter fixtures have been positive, with the psychological bonus of exiting the relegation zone. Still, the team must muster some clinical finishing in tight matches to overturn their luck.

Game-by-game statistics are ultimately just snapshots, and overall trends are more important. As Glasner alluded to after the Newcastle match, the points will come if the team continues to play in this fashion.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.

For week 14 he takes on James Ryan, bassist with rock band The Slow Readers Club.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

I watched Ipswich on Saturday and thought they played well. They were hard done by for the award of the penalty which Nottingham Forest scored their winner from.

Crystal Palace did get something out from their game with Newcastle - Daniel Munoz missed an unbelievable chance but made amends with his header right at the end.

I look through the Palace team and think they are too good to go down, but they have to start showing it.

These two sides have identical records, with only one win apiece from their first 13 league games.

They are both desperate for another win, so the obvious thing for me to do is call it a draw.

Ryan's prediction: 2-1

They are level on points but it feels like Ipswich are playing all right, while Palace are struggling.

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in all four of their Premier League meetings with Ipswich Town (W3 D1) - though this is their first since February 1995.

Meanwhile, Ipswich are unbeaten in their past 28 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league matches, since a 2- 0 loss to Charlton Athletic in League One in December 2021 (W21 D7).

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game against Ipswich Town (kick-off 19:30 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Eberechi Eze "is OK to start again" after returning from injury on Saturday but Glasner said "we could see he didn't have a lot of training in the weeks before".

• Tuesday's game comes too soon for midfielder Adam Wharton, but Glasner thinks the game against Brighton on 15 December "is possible for him". He hopes the England international will be back in training later this week.

• The rest of the squad that were involved against Newcastle "are fit and available".

• He does not believe the game against Ipswich is a "six-pointer" but winning on Tuesday is the club's "clear target".

• On whether the point against Newcastle could be a turning point he said: "You can ask me this after the Ipswich game - I don't know. It's not just the point, the performance was really good. We created chances and it was a bit of deja vu having clear chances but missing. In the end getting the reward... it's how you write books for movies. Daniel Munoz missing two big chances and scoring in extra time."

• Glasner said despite the performance, "we are not pleased with the result" - but praised the defence and described restricting Newcastle to no shots on target from open play as "unbelievably well done".

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Here are some of your comments:

Palace fans

Guy: When it looked like we might lose 1-0 to a team who hadn't even registered a shot on goal, I feared I was witnessing the most peak Palace game ever. It's hard to tell whether we defended brilliantly or whether Newcastle were just terrible, but we deserved three points from that match.

Mike: One win from 13 games this season is not good enough. Oliver Glasner can dress it up as much as he likes but the simple fact is: if we can't win games or score goals, we will be relegated!

Ian: Palace should have scored two or three goals, but I will take the point. I'm looking forward to having Adam Wharton back over the next few weeks, and we can start putting teams to the sword. Maybe with Eberechi Eze and Wharton providing opportunities, we will see some goals.

Bob: Since Daniel Munoz joined Palace earlier this year, I have been so impressed by his unbelievable stamina. The boy just gives 100% every game. When injured during the game, he just gets on with it. He is a credit to the team and I'm so happy for him scoring his first great goal.

Newcastle fans

Tom: This is becoming a little too regular now. We looked flat and unconvincing in front of goal. That is nearly our full strength squad and we should be able to beat a lot of teams. But, once again, we are showing that Eddie Howe not being backed or allowed to strengthen our current squad is costing us too many points this season.

William: Too many of Newcastle's forward players are off-form and goal-shy. We cannot have four wingers and a centre-forward with only 20 goals per season between them, but that's where it is going. I would play Callum Wilson, William Osula and Alexander Isak up front with Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes coming on as substitutes.

Krish: Poor performance. To only have one shot on goal is not good. I understand Wilson is coming back from injury, but Osula is already fit. We can't keep shifting Gordon centrally, as he is not natural there. I was surprised to concede a late goal, considering we usually close games out when ahead.

Kevin: Too many players are being played out of their preferred positions. There is a lack of effort from a few players and no leadership on the pitch. Bruno Guimaraes' performances have dropped significantly since taking over captaincy. Tonali had one of his best performances this season and should be a starter. Howe needs to rethink his approach.

Marc Guehi scored his second Premier League own goal, with both of them coming at Selhurst Park. It was Palace's fifth own goal in the competition since the start of 2023. Only Fulham and Sheffield United have suffered more in that time (seven each).

Meanwhile, Marc Guehi is just the second Crystal Palace player to both score an own goal and assist or score a goal in a Premier League match after Damien Delaney, who did so for the Eagles against Liverpool in May 2014.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the draw: "[The equaliser] was so deserved. We are a little bit disappointed because we would have deserved the win today. Keeping Newcastle on one shot – it was an unbelievable performance.

“We have to blame ourselves that we didn't take those chances. With Newcastle's pace in attack, you always have to take care that you don't get [hit on] transition situations. Everyone deserved the equaliser.

“We feel we deserve a bit more [this season]. It's not that we miss [chances] because we are arrogant, it's about how we deal with it.

"What gives me a lot of confidence is the character of the players here at Crystal Palace.

"It's frustrating but, on the other side, we know we will come through it together. The way we are playing is improving game-by-game and then the results will come."

On goalscorer Daniel Munoz: "I told him that he should take the ball home because he could have had a hat-trick. The most difficult one he scored, but it shows his character."
