Palace FA Cup Post Match

Willy played well but Bravo will keep plenty of clean sheets if Vinny stays fit.

So good to see Vinnie back today. He reads the game well and is so often in the right place that he makes the job look easier than some of his team mates; plus he has that physicallity that we are often missing.

Comprehensive win in the end; lost our way for a bit in the first half but Raz's goal arrived at a good time. Excellent assist from Jesus, who worked hard and was unfortunate not to notch his first goal. Clearly needs time to adapt to his team mates and English football but is off to a good start.

One guy who is now settling in nicely is Sane, who is starting to look the part. Is that three goals in his last three starts?

Delph was solid if unspectacular and Dave and Yaya ran the show, again.

Thought the positional discipline of the team was really good today; hopefully another sign that Pep's way is gaining traction.

Who's the schoolgirl who won the competition to do BBC commentary on FA Cup day?

Are you saying females only get gigs cos they are generous with their favours, sound a bit sexist to me does that :-)

Sterling Jesus Sané is going to be formidable.

The question is, when will the club cash in on Aguero.

After his stunt in the summer he can't have a go at anyone and he is fatter than ever

Howard Webb was right and eventually Savage agreed, that would have been a ridiculous way to be sent off for Yaya. Many forget that a refs job isn't to givemout cards, it's to maintain a fair and balanced match. Yaya didn't even attempt to make a tackle.

Anyway, loving this fresh young attacking look to the side now, whilst some of the old guard are still playing good stuff. Kompany back and a clean sheet? Please remain fit. Jesus is gonna be special. Sane too!

I'm intrigued to see if Yaya is offered a one year deal on a lower wage and if he'd accept it. It'd be as a back up if he ever did.

Only seen it at the game but I wasn't even sure if Yaya's second "bookable" offence was even a deliberate foul?

In far away country called the home of the men who get what they want with no strings attached Thailand I feel very smug after hearing that result regardless who scored or was the MOM. Just feels nice giving the geriatrics's rag and pityool a bit back.

Vinnies back, this is The biggest plus from this game and probably the biggest boost of the season.
A clean sheet is something we haven't done too many times this season.
I really see this turning point and see us winning a few games now in succession.

Very little swanning about with passes to and from the gk from what I could tell. I used to think Caballero was crap but now I love when I see him start. Would love him to start the next game.
