I said to a lad next to me after 50 minutes that we could do with Yaya coming on because we needed to get a grip of possesion. I wasn't surprised at all to see him coming on so early. He did exactly what was required of him and helped kill the game..

Agreed.Palace should have scored inside the first 5 minutes. I don't think we were that great defensively. However, Delph was excellent and deserves to start v Everton.
Again we agree. This is becoming too common.I said to a lad next to me after 50 minutes that we could do with Yaya coming on because we needed to get a grip of possesion. I wasn't surprised at all to see him coming on so early. He did exactly what was required of him and helped kill the game..
What a pass from the big man, steadied the ship in the second half..
Even more impressive wasKevin in that sequence First, he took 2 steps sideways as Yaya gathered the ball (guaranteeing he wasn't going to be offside, then steps forward as soon as Yaya goes into his passing stance. Perfectly timing his run to Yaya's release. Then the pass into the right space with the perfect ammoutof force to give Aguero the time to step back for an easy shot.
I thought DeBryune's play there was world-class like but very few gave it much thought.

To be fair that was there one and only chance which considering how shaky our defence looks when Yaya is in a midfield two is decent.
The big man was brilliant when he came on.
But some on here won't see that
He really was a lot better today when he came on, pressed the defence pretty well. Although I would expect a 2 of Delph and Fernandinho would be far more control that Fernando.
What crystal palace could have scored in 5 minutes, what a prem team had a chance but didn't score. This new Tv deal is going to close the gap further so get use to itAgreed.

Absolutely right. Anyone at the match could see that palace were well on top at the start of the second half, and a goal then and everyone's arses would have gone. Fortunately the manager saw that, and brought on Yaya and he bosses the fuck out of the game from then on and won at a canter.
Yup.

I agree .This is how we should play Yaya. In 30 minute bursts where he can do damage.
He was very good in that last 30 minutes .
Yaya will always be a legend .

Number 6 played everyone onside..
The one who should take the plaudits is Merlin for winning the ball back after being taken out by two Palace players..
Totally agree

"Bosses the fuck"

He will and he'll be even more of one if he helps us to win more trophies this season.I agree .

Game was stretched when he came on and he had the energy to do those runs and his passing was good.

I think The entire sequence was world class - from Silva winning the ball to the ball finishing in the net!

Despite his class he's too old to be starting and playing 90 mins often twice a week.
Boom.I think The entire sequence was world class - from Silva winning the ball to the ball finishing in the net!
