Close to 26 years old and homegrown having just signed a contract extension so will be overpriced.
A couple of major injuries including hamstring issues.
Doesn’t work hard enough for an Ange team.
Seems like an expensive luxury player. Got the Zaha vibe about him. Reckon we could better spend the money he would cost.
Yeah I agree with pretty much everything you say, however I found zaha a bit whiney and a bit of a prima donna...I don't get that feeling with Eze.
I just think he's priced himself out of a move to a bigger club by signing the new contract. He could and should be playing at a higher level than Palace
Absolute nonsense - if it's in the box and it's a foul, then it's a penalty.
Just watching MOTD. How was that not a pen on Werner?
Get the ball in early in the first half otherwise they get confortable knowing how we are gonna play. Put some crosses in or some balls over the top.
Poor first half performance followed by an excellent response to their goal. Bents still looks well off the pace, surprised he was picked over Sarr, in saying that watch his foul for their free kick leading to the goal, he still outdoes Bissouma in the tracking back, who looks like he has learnt nothing from the Wolves game.
Porro needed back asap, Royal was half decent defensively, but offers little going the other way, not helped by another poor performance from Kulu. Excellent from Johnson and Werner though, both contributing positively from the wings and making goal contributions.
Thought that yet another ref gave us very little, I think its a penno all day and let them away with an awful lot of time wasting.

I thought he was extremely poor in that 1 on 1.I think people are being incredibly harsh on Timo for that first half chance, anyone would think it was a simple tap in or that he was the first forward to come off worst in in a one-on-one dual with the keeper.
Seems to me he did everything right and yet Johnson managed to Stretch Armstrong an arm across to save his goal-bound shot. Brilliant keeping, it reminded me of a chance when Vic did the same for us, seemed to extend his arm beyond the normal range. Great save, give him credit.
Unless of course you want to over-criticise his every shortcoming to back up your prejudice and then underplay his "simplest of tap in goals" when the narrative goes against you that is.
Couldnt care less if he scored a tap in. They all count. Have to be in rihgt position
I can guarantee we wouldbt be allowed
Saka, Salah and Sterling get a pen + a lifetime ban for their opponent even if they don't get touched so yeah, that happens to them, man oh man
"Easy" is a really poor choice of words.
Watched the game just now as I’d missed it.
1. Wasn’t a bad performance at all. Really don’t get what the fuss is about. We completely controlled the game and gave them almost nothing.
2. Created a bunch of chances. Werner had the 1v1 and another chance back post. Johnson should have scored. Son hit post and had another good chance plus a fluffed shot before Werner should have scored.
3. Blatant penalty. In real time and slowmo. Shocker from the officials and VAR. What’s the fucking point?
4. Maddison looks back. Great assist for the second. Bissouma is almost back but we miss him carrying the ball to break lines. Maddison is the only player that wants to do that. Sarr when he came on.
5. Great subs. All made their impact.
6. Emerson and Werner underrated in the game.
7. We don’t play 1 touch round the corner enough and don’t shoot enough.

Yet we have some fans calling it "A sitter".
22 I think and for £50M need a bit more than potential will be 23 this may. Not exactly a young kid like Veliz. His coming into his prime years and has been around first team football for few years. He did well today and showed a bit of tenacity for a change. For now I think needs start on bench. Few more Camrys like that then see. However he does really need show more and consistency.
Bar codes put 3 past wolves ?
He was, but so were many of our players. I’m not sure Richy would have fared better.
Once again, we struggled when they sat back and defended in numbers. We showed that we are deadly on the counter, and palace will be kicking themselves for letting us back in the game.
I felt that we very much played the same system all game. We allowed them to settle into their defensive shape and then tried to build an attack with out center backs. There was no room for that killer pass, so we ended up mostly playing keep ball.

He had a quick decision to make. Once Johnston got out to him he didn't have room to try much other than what he did, and the fact he doesn't go well to the left doesn't help. It was like he came to the goalie at speed instead of letting Johnston commit and then moving past him (or taking an early shot before the angle closed). You make the good point, criticizing is easy, but making that play is hard.I think people are being incredibly harsh on Timo for that first half chance, anyone would think it was a simple tap in or that he was the first forward to come off worst in in a one-on-one dual with the keeper.

4.5. van der Ven also breaks lines, watch our 3rd goal.
ive watched the first goal replay about 100 times and i still can’t figure out how Johnson gets by the second defender with possession before the pass to werner lol
