Excellent result and the performance not as bad as the media are making out and some on here , we never gave Palace a sniff of our goal and should have been at least 4-0 up at half time , very similar to the Forest game , where we played well and wasted a dozen chances.
We need to be more ruthless in front of goal and our build up play is laboured at times , Pep's obsession with posession at times is to the detriment of the team , but who can really argue result like the Palace are exactly what wins league titles.
We might be labelled the most boring team ever to win trophies(they didnt watch Leeds in the 70's) , but that stinks of envy and jealousy and long may it continue , we dont need the media to blow smoke up our arses , they can do that to the Gonns and start their inquest at the end of the season when they have won f*ck all.

We just need to practice finishing in our training sessions………

problem is we won't get 11 more scruffy wins. We are garbage once we get to the penalty box. Teams are just putting 10 men behind the ball and waiting for us to pass and pass and pass and then fuck up and get caught on the counter. Some teams with less ability can't wait to get to the wing near the area and cross it. We can't wait to get to the opposition wing near the box only to then pass it back and work an opening on the other wing then pass the ball all the way back to Ederson. We got away with it today with a silly penalty, apart from that we never looked like scoring.

Still 7.

I actually thought you played pretty well to be honest , especially against a team that didn’t want to play at all?? Could have scored maybe 4-5 , freezing cold night at a bogey ground for us in the past? Every time just sits back against us these days so performances like the centurion season are going up be fair less unfortunately as teams had a go back in them days and left us to tear them apart. Thought Grealish was great again and Rodri was superb!

We also played far more aggressively and direct back then,rather than this backwards/sideways shit which creates the scenario where the opposition have little alternative but to sit and wait till we lose possession.

Think we should give up taking corners and throw ins, we’re absolutely shite at both…..

Yesterday, we had 6 big lads in the box for each corner and all went too long or too short. We over complicate a simple process.

Congrats on the win , a choker as I thought we played ok, but 3rd game in row no shot on target , I would love to be able to say “see you next season” but I’m not sure that will be true , all the best and thanks to most of your fans who always appreciate Palace ,

Gundo's corners are pathetic,he makes them so easy to defend.

Bring back Tommy Doyle if only for set pieces.

We look so much better defensively when Dias is marshalling the troops.

Brings an air of calmness across the back just like Kompany did for all those years

Agreed mate and I personally think if that shot Jack tool in the first few minutes had gone in we would have gone on to score a couple more in the first half? All in all though a much better performance than some are making it out to be

Made it back to Euston by 20.45. Had enough time to grab a butty from m&s. Successful trip in the end even if we made hard work off it

Come on blue don't leave us in suspense. What butty was it. I'll wager its was a smoked ham and mustard
