In which we were also forced to play a weakened side due to having a dozen players injured who would all have made the first team. The FA Cup game was pretty much the height of the worst injury crisis Palace have had in living memory. Roy described it as the worst he'd ever experienced in a 42...
You had a "great second half" in which you didn't score a goal. You were throwing everything at a side who have been conceding late goals in every game recently and you still couldn't score. A draw would've been a major injustice and you know it!
Our reserve team were certainly pretty average in the FA Cup, yeah.
As for Saturday, we looked far superior to you in the first half and were unfortunate not to be out of sight at HT. We were utterly dominant and anyone watching could see that we were the better side. Zaha and Loftus Cheek...
You know as well as I do that we've had one of the worst injury crisis' in Premier League history. We spent upwards of a month with 12/13 first team players injured. You've been incredibly fortunate with long term injuries this season and have been able to name a pretty much full strength side...
Propper and Gross are really classy midfield players and I'd have them at Palace in a heartbeat. Ryan is a solid keeper and Dunk is a promising young CB although not yet on the level of Sakho. Izquierdo was absolutely rapid on Saturday and caused some problems as a result; I'd take him as an...
That's not quite true though, is it? PvA, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka, Cabaye, Mcarthur, Milivojevic, Townsend, Sako, RLC etc. would all get into your squad and the majority of those would be starting as well.
We've had almost half a decade longer than you in the Premier League and the...
He won't be going anywhere in January, but I'd be surprised if he didn't get his move to a top6 side at the end of the season. He is simply too good to be playing for a team in the bottom half; he deserves a chance to impress on the biggest stage as enters the peak of his career.
It's between Spurs and Arsenal for me too. He'd be able to fulfil his ambitions at a far bigger club, with a better coach/manager, while still being able to live near his family and friends in London. Pochettino is reportedly a big fan, but whether they'd stump up the enormous fee that'd be...
If Zaha left in January we probably would get relegated; but the chances of us selling him are pretty much zero. Premier League survival is worth an awful lot more than any fee we'd recieve. The top 6 clubs are the only ones that could afford his £40m-£50m price tag and although Pochettino is...
