Lost our defense coach and produced our best defensive game in a while
If Palace could shoot we'd have conceded 3 or 4, so let's not pretend it was a catenaccio-worthy perf.
Ceding the possession voluntarily to a team that was 17th in it coming to this game, and one that comes out as one of the most direct teams in the league in whatever measure you look at, is something I can get behind; even though this was more of an embarrassing park the bus job than your typical sit-back-and-counter one. I so far have seen little to conclude that this team actually knows how to counter.
The next 2 games are also against teams that give Palace a run for their money in directness, so get ready for more of this if allowing 62 percent possession to a team that usually has it in low 40s was the masterplan.

Two midtable managers, Frank isn't as bad as some make him out to be, Glasner nothing special either. No point in sacking Frank and appointing someone of Glasner's caliber.
Frank's obsession with Kudus is beginning to look more and more daft. Offers so little im my honest opinion, and that isn't me advocating Johnson but saying Kudus is not the answer.
I honestly think it’s more the squad than the manager. They’re not talentless donkeys… well, not all of them anyway. It just looks like 11 blokes who met in the car park five minutes before kick-off.
Sorry some of you that we won
Let's play Glasner's teams all the time then.
I think there is a place for joy that we won. That and relief, and a slight sense of it meaning we hold onto a manager who does not seem to be offering something more inspiring.
He’s not solved the midfield. Looked a mess today with none of them looking like they knew what they were meant to be doing. But the players were terrible in defence keep on giving the ball away and also further up the pitch their pressing was so disjointed. How much of that is on the manager and how much of it is on poor players who’s up to debate. But I just look at this squad and it is just not good enough when you compare it to teams of recent years, it is miles off.
I am not sure at all that Frank is the answer, but the players are letting him down
Tbh only the header was a gilt edged miss?
Winning two trophies with Palace leads me to believe Glasner is more than a midtable manager.
Not his fault he didn’t have an assist tonight. The cross was inch perfect
Yep and big ange beat frank on more then one occasion
Peak Ange-ball was great fun, but the legacy is a treatment room full of key players who now move like they’re 45. Hard to see a few of them ever properly peaking again.
???
What's that got to do with Frank beating Glasner 3 times in a row?
I just don't think Kudus adds that much mate. But fair.
One trophy and an exhibition.
