Paul: You look at Mitrovic and wonder what he offers. No hold up play, not mobile at all, and just seems to complain all game. Decent in the air I suppose but you need more than that in the premier league. The game has evolved. You need to be able to move at least a little

MWhite: Parker really needs to show now that he knows how to change the game, right now its passing him by

Scott Dann stops a dazzling run from Tom Cairney, who was looking dangerous as he edged into the Palace box.

It's crossed in from the left but Tyrick Mitchell picks it up and sets Wilfried Zaha on his way.

Fulham have had a nice few minutes. It's built up on the left as they string a few passes together sharply and it's teed up for Tom Cariney on the edge of the box.

He hits it first time but it's straight at Vicente Guaita.

Tom Cairney shows Andros Townsend how to take a free-kick with a whipped ball in from deep.

He picks out Aleksandr Mitrovic but he can't keep his header down. Decent chance.

Andros Townsend takes a free-kick from the left... It's over everybody and Cheikhou Kouyate won't be able to keep it in.

Roy Hodgson puts his head in his hands on the bench.

That's better. Wilfried Zaha races through on the right and skips to the byline. He tries to cut it into the middle but it's way too high and it ends up rolling out the far side.

That might have even been a shot?!

It's all a bit flat at the moment. Scott Parker and Roy Hodgson are out on the edge of their dugouts shouting instructions.

No changes at half time both stayed with the same tactics. I'm not sure about the set up of Fulham whether they could sacrifice one of those midfielders. Mario Lemina, Tom Cairney and Zambo Anguissa could start getting a bit more advanced which would help Fulham. They've just got a bit too much security which is why they've got so much possession but not much penetration.

Ola Aina does so well. He beats two or three players on the left with a driving run, cuts it back and forces a corner off Scott Dann.

The resulting set-piece is only just gathered in at the near post by the keeper because he spilled it initially!

Fulham start off how they left off - with the ball. Aleksandr Mitrovic goes down under pressure and wins a free-kick before it's switched over to the right.

Off we go for the second half.

Fulham are going to have to be careful when they come forward in the second half. It has happened a few times, the moment they lose the ball on the edge of the Crystal Palace box, Roy Hodgson's men are right at their throat.

I don't get the feeling that Fulham are certain about what they are doing in forward positions. They have got lots of good ideas but I want to see that ball coming in with purpose and see someone getting on the end of it.

And when they come back, they need people in position early to make sure that Crystal Palace cannot launch the counter-attack.

The wind's picking up and getting under these crosses. The sting went out of the game with both teams looking at half time to address things in the changing room. There's not too much conviction on either side.

Looking at the game, it's evenly balanced - even though Palace are in control because of the goal. It is a very tight game, there's not a lot in it really.

Not much in it.

Luka Milivojevic swings it over the bar. Always rising.

Michy Batshuayi wins the ball on the left and the referee allows play to go on. He cuts inside and is dragged back by Andre-Frank Anguissa.

Free-kick in a very good position here...
