Alan Pardew admitted Crystal Palace need some breathing space as their winless run continued with a 1-0 defeat to Leicester on Saturday. Riyad Mahrezs 34th-minute goal condemned Palace to their sixth success home Premier League loss.Although they are still eight points above the relegation zone, they have not won in the league since December 19 and face three of the top six in their next four matches, before their FA Cup semi-final with Watford. Riyad Mahrez of Leicester City celebrates winner We need to get a couple of wins and get them before the semi-final to give ourselves some breathing space, Pardew told Sky Sports. We have some difficult games but this is a team that can win at any time, we have proved that in the first half of the season and in the cup.But in the second half of the season we havent had that win that would have taken some pressure off. We handled it well today but it just wouldnt come for us.The closest Palace came to equalising was in second-half injury-time when Damien Delaney volleyed against the bar. Scott Dann admits Crystal Palace need to end their winless run as soon as possible We are on a tricky run and things are not falling for us, said Pardew. We tried to force it today and make sure our performance was at a level where we could overcome the fortune of the game. We almost achieved that, but not quite. Leicester definitely shaded the first half and looked the team that would go on to win, but we played very well in the second half and caused them some problems, which is difficult to do as they are a very organised team.While it was another disappointing result for Palace, Leicester are now eight points clear at the top of the table with seven games left to play. Phil Thompson gives his reaction to the result on Soccer Saturday They would be worthy champions in terms of their performance today, said Pardew. It was a difficult game for us and I thought we played reasonably well, particularly in the second half, but they came away with the win, and thats the sign of a good team.They have such speed and they are effortless going forward at times. They found a way, what won them the game was their defensive discipline. The midfield two did not give us any stake or anything to cling to so we could break. It had to be outstanding play from us to create a chance. Also See: C Palace 0-1 Leicester As it happened Palace fixtures Get a free ￡10 bet Adrian Colbert Super Bowl Jersey .

Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury.

Week 1 is a liar.The first week of the NFL season assured us, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Rams were an irretrievable trash fire, the Cardinals were in trouble, Jameis Winston was an MVP front-runner, and the Cowboys couldnt score with Dak Prescott at quarterback.Remember? Yeah, not so much on those.Week 2 is also a liar, as is any NFL week if taken as a singular entity. The difference is that Week 2 is only 50 percent of our evidence when we sit down to sort through it. Week 1, at its expiration, is 100 percent.With that in mind, heres a look at what we think we learned from Week 2, and a few things we think will turn out to not matter much at all.Rex Ryan is toastThis is from Thursday, but it bears resurrection. The Bills are 0-2, have already fired their offensive coordinator, and face the Cardinals and the Patriots the next two weeks. That smells a lot like 0-4, and the dysfunction is obvious from miles away. Ryan said hed be the first to go if the team didnt win, and instead it was Greg Roman. So Im not buying anything he says. Instead, Im buying Frank Reich head-coaching futures in upstate New York, especially if Carson Wentz has a big year in Philly.The Steelers and Bengals should play two more times this?seasonAll the pregame talk about ugliness and hatred obscured the fact that these are two really good teams, capable of just trying to outplay each other without anyone fighting or getting suspended. No one should be surprised if they meet in the playoffs again. Pittsburghs defense has started out hot. And after the Bengals get done with this September combination of body blows the schedule-makers dealt them, they should find themselves a nice rhythm.Whats real about the Giants is their opportunityThe Giants started each of the past three years 0-2. They started each of the past five years 0-1. Now theyre 2-0 for the first time since 2009, back when the Tom Coughlin narrative (believe it or not) was that his teams started strong and faded down the stretch. This sets up the Giants in a way they havent been set up in some time and gives them a chance to just about put away 0-2 defending division champ Washington in Week 3. Now look ... the Giants have won their two games by a combined four points, they havent finished .500 since 2012, and their October schedule features trips to Minnesota, Green Bay and London. So Id hold off a few weeks before printing the playoff tickets. But what we know about the Giants for sure is that theyre 2-0, and its been quite a while since theyve been in that position.Philip Rivers is a bad manSeriously, Rivers?is the most underrated quarterback of his generation. He loses Keenan Allen in the first half of his Week 1 game. He loses Danny Woodhead in the first half of his Week 2 game. But who has eight kids and the third-best passer rating in the NFL right now? Thats right. THAT guy.dddddddddddd. The Chargers might?not be on your AFC West contender radar, but they still have -- easily -- the divisions best quarterback. And one of these weeks, hes going to make it through a whole game without losing a critical offensive weapon.The Browns cant have nice thingsJosh McCown spent the first half of Sundays game lighting up the Ravens and making it clear that coach Hue Jackson hadnt chosen the best quarterback on his roster as his Week 1 starter. But then McCown got hurt and the Browns gave away a 20-point lead, and now they will start their fifth different starting quarterback in as many games. It remains entirely possible that Cleveland, which has an insufficient number of NFL-caliber players on its roster, will lose all 16 games this year. Its also still possible (though somewhat less likely) that the Browns will use 16 different starting quarterbacks to do it. No matter who they throw in there, they wont be able to protect him. The only thing that can start to fix this is a dozen or so 2017 draft picks.The Raiders miss Mario Edwards Jr.I know its not that simple -- theres plenty of blame to go around on a Raiders defense that has allowed more than 500 yards in each of its first two games. But the absence of Edwards from the line might?be a bigger deal than was originally thought when he went on the PUP list to start the season. If you look at it in terms of the Broncos defense -- the one Jack Del Rio was running before he became the Raiders coach -- Edwards plays the Derek Wolfe role. Edwards can disrupt on the edge or mix things up inside, and his versatility allows the edge rushers to move around and do their thing. Oakland has only two sacks, and the pass rush may not fully come around until the front seven gets whole again.Theres no reason to change your opinion of the RamsA week ago, everyone was ripping the Rams for looking lifeless against the Niners. Then L.A. goes out and knocks off Seattle in a touchdown-free wreck of a game for which the Rams should be ashamed to have charged admission. But dont buy it. The Rams are 4-1 against Seattle and 10-19 against everyone else since the start of 2014. Their defensive line is all theyve got, and its all they had last year when they went 7-9. They have the Seahawks number, but theyre also the only team in the league thats still in single digits in points for the year.The Cardinals and Panthers can still whip youAfter tough losses to AFC powers in Week 1, last years NFC Championship Game participants combined for 86 points in their Week 2 get-right games. Whether you prefer Carson Palmers pregame marshmallow man suit or Cam Newtons postgame carnival barker hat, you have to realize these teams arent going away anytime soon. ' ' '
