Barring Danns tackle on Sergio, thought it was a good game that we dug deep to win. I was following on the radio and match thread and then watched on Sky last evening. It was like three different games. Radio 5 live - it was all palace, I genuinely thought we were getting hammered in the first half. Match thread, couldn't believe some of the negative comments regarding kolorov and Navas in particular. Watching the game, I thought it was a good open physical match that we controlled for long periods. We restricted a very good palace attack to just one or two chances. I thought everyone put in a shift. Navas worked incredibly hard and gets nothing like the credit he deserves for his defensive contribution and as an offensive outlet. Also his attitude is brilliant after his miss lesser players would have tended to hide. If anything he worked harder. Opts stats show how hard he worked. He ran more than any other city player by some margin. Not kolorov best game but with silva and Stirling missing it's not a massive surprise. That was a impressive win for us against a well set up quality team.
