yep, we just do the business and take it from there, if we can take it into the last game of the season with us needing a win and them to draw then anything can happen, fingers crossedYou might be right but we have a tough game at Bournemouth

Shame it wasn't 3 as we'd be top tonightStill think that point at Everton could turn out to be crucial

Might be better that way really. Hungry and well rested squad players given the chance to shine (yes, I know I'm grasping at straws!!).Sadly palace will likely rest everyone against arsenal as they have a cup final 3 days later.

They can't afford to draw either game now, that's important.I can't see Arsenal losing to that lot, or Burnley unfortunately.

Foden provided the spark we needed and then we were pretty good considering the changes. A few errors, and some things for Pep to think about for the cup final.
I thought Bernardo was poor again. He just takes too many touches and we lacked that crisp quick passing through the lines which came when Kovacic got on the pitch.
Hopefully Rodri can play in the final but failing that we need to think about the dynamic in midfield. Bernardo covers a lot of ground and absorbs pressure well but needs someone next to him playing a quick ball into the space in my opinion.

Decent result with the team we put out, minutes in the legs of some fringe players, Stones getting his goodbye, can't ask for much more. Looking forward to Saturday now, get this domestic double won and see what happens next Week.

Maybe he hasn't been well ?My question is: why can’t Phil play like that every week?

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the likes of Savinho, Marmoush, Phil, Kovacic and, to lesser extent, Ait Nouri stepping up to the plate. Throw in the return of Gvardiol and it was a very satisfying evening's work.

Agree. Based on tonight’s performance I can only see a similar one against Arsenal, possibly even worse. The only advantage is that they might want to put out a good performance the last game of the season for their fans but they’ll be looking forward to the final. That draw vs toffees really cost us the title.Sadly palace will likely rest everyone against arsenal as they have a cup final 3 days later.

Just looking at that interaction between Pep and Adam Wharton - Pep’s telling him that if he beats Arsenal he’ll be playing for City next season ;)
He did, for 4 years. Let's see how it goes next season.My question is: why can’t Phil play like that every week?
Well done boys, very professional performance. It’s still possible.

good performance
moved the ball quickly after the first 20 mins
Foden easily the MOTM - looks like he had his spark back which is only ever going to be a good thing.
Benardo - dont know how we are going to replace him either in terms of ability or attitude......just never stops...
Great finishes from Marmoush and Semenyo and both worked hard as well - But both showed why they are at present a step below - world class finishers both of them BUT they dont have enough in other parts of the game - both have poor first touch and are not great in tight spaces. Semenyo has a space outwide but marmoush doesnt and its a shame as his finishing is on par with most other strikers out there...but he aitn getting in over Haaland.
Khusonov has really come on leaps and bounds...his use of the ball is improving every game
Even Sav scored and he probably deserved it in all fairness - Ive been very critiful of him and he has a long way to go but that was more like it tonight.
Techincal football will win out eventually and that showed tonight....our players were simply much more comfortable on the ball in tight spaces and little time that anyone on the Palace side...
We just need them to play Arsenal with 10 men behind the ball...and that low block and you never know!
