Crystal Palace (H) - Post-Match Thread

There are games you walk away from and say we were never gonna win that one despite the calibre of opposition. Today was one of them. Move on forget it go again midweek. We are as the song goes best team in the land and all the world.

When i seen the team today i thought all things considered that was and prob is our strongest 11. Smiled and thought a nailed on win. Rags away at spuds, the school teacher has lost the players and spurs at home will be way to strong another banker.
£300 double, was like printing money.
Drowning my sorrows with port and brandy.

Fair assessment. For me though the key was Ederson letting the half hit shot in which made it uphill. KDB is so off the boil, the tea's gone cold.
Never mind though, looking forward to the next 2 huge games. Would happily settle for a win v Brugges and point at Rags

Goal down in first half is not so bad but a man down is a different story .

Rodri was quality again today, he is becoming a big player for us.

I thought he was taking too many touches on the ball when we were pressing for an equaliser in the later stages. He needed to move it on quicker before the space was closed. One of our better players out there today though.

True. But the scruffy goal gives Palace so much more confidence.

KDB is like that prize strawberry that has gone from showstopper to rotten fruit in the blink of an eye! It happens and we need to realise his days are numbered. He, Sterling and Mahrez now offer a combined zero and need moving on. Lean years ahead I feel.

Don't even really need to sell anyone. We still have the 150m we supposedly saved from the Kane bid.

sterling must be sold and his place taken by a new striker
i would take £50million right now for sterling and go and sign haaland in jan
even it takes a crazy bid for dortmund to sell i would still pay it. knowing he has a buy out in the summer of £67million or something like that. we just can not leave it for somebody else to steel him from under our noses
offer dortmund £100million plus add-ons right now even ask if they fancy sterling

Our last 60 Saturday 3pm kick offs stretching back to January 2015:

51 Wins
7 Draws
2 Losses

BOTH defeats and one of the draws to Palace…

Love a good stat! Would be good to know if those three matches happened after we had a midweek fixture & they didn’t. Still think when we’re up against a team with an identity, with an intelligent coach who has a full week to prepare their team, we find it tough - because it is. Thankfully the rags also have a mid week game this week - not that I’d class them as a team with an identity.

When we lost on Wednesday and I saw which teams were left in the carabao I knew we’d win the league this season. Today hasn’t changed my mind. December, January are going by be critical in what I think will be the hardest season ever - lots of international players looking leggy. I’m hoping for an Egypt Senegal Afcon final.

Gone fishing?

Agree 100%. Meant that we do not need to sell before we buy.
