Crystal Palace FA Cup Final (N) | Man of the Match

[Eaststander1]

I voted for Akanji
Although he had plenty of opportunities to hit a cross and when he eventually did, not one attempt ever came close to being half decent, I thought his FA Cup final hair cut was immaculately thought out and executed to perfection

He was far too slow in reacting positively to Eze creeping in for that winning goal, as a defender he HAD to 'go the extra mile' and get there first ...... and O'Reilly was far too slow in keeping track of the Palace player and stopping the cross coming in in the first place.

We saw at the Etihad only a few weeks ago how often Palace like to play breakaway moves like that, and yet there we were ... falling for it yet again!

The polish city fan stood near me should me MOM for singing the whole game

How sad is this a cup final & not one player played good enough for motm.

We have serious issues developing behind the scenes for me. How many games this season have we had this same issue. It’s not a one off

Spot on ....

rinse/repeat with Savinho

Don't even get me started with this guy! Terrible.

Bernardo without a shadow of a doubt. He was excellent.

Whilst I wouldn't actually call his performance yesterday 'horrendous' , he is nowhere near being the player that he was a few years ago ... mind you his transfer saga has dragged on forever, and the entire thing, as well as some of our poor form this season, has probably just 'bogged him down'!

Doku, the pick of a bad day. Nod to Echeverri for a positive cameo.

 

[Mike N]

Doku for. Gvardiol and Bernardo after that.

 

[Axel Freed]

Bernie Bernie Bernie

The only one who played like it was a cup final.

Don't even get me started with this guy! Terrible.

His assist stats are much better than Dokus but then again a broken clock is correct two times a day

Atwell and the VAR bloke - they decided the game.
