Huge game from Gana...

 

[Bob Latchford]

Well done Marco Silva, made the necessary changes and got the points.

Exactly.
Very positive subs and they made all the difference. Delighted it worked out!

 

[Izzy1878]

Well deserved in the end. Pickford MOTM. Gana, Zouma, and Digne were boss. Zaha is quite annoying. Gets paid thousands for spending most of his time on the deck.

Great match?

Well I certainly enjoyed it.

Didn't play that well but got a win. Palace played well and were a handful so not surprised on there display that they have won 4 out of last 6 away games. Zaha is a handful and Palaces defence is quite good and strong.

Bernard struggled as did Richarlison when up front. Thought Coleman looked rusty and slow in thought. Gomes grew into the game and could be a vital player for us. Walcott struggled and didn't seem to want to get stuck in. Thought Keane and Zouma played well defensively but wouldn't even bother with them at corners for us. Pickford kept us in the game and Digne worked hard even though some things didn't come off for him. Gana gets his toe in when you don't expect it but some of his passing is poor. Great subs by Silva and he just wanted to go on and win it. Pleased for DCL and Tosun getting goals and the assist by Lookman.

Tough game but we came through but Palace certainly disrupted us.

Huge game from Gana...

He was everywhere. Having someone like Gomes in beside him allowed him to be at his best.

They can dish it out as well though CP; can’t have it all ways. Some player Zaha though, big fish in a small pond.

Wouldn’t play for England for exactly that reason. Crap Championship player.

Always good when you have multiple choices for MOM ....
Keane for me ....input for the 2 goals / solid defensively. Although ....no Pickford = no points today

 

[Milkman]

Huge game from Gana...

For him to play an hour on a yellow with his style of play is pretty remarkable. He's just such a bloody good player.

 

[Jimishorts]

Could have gone either way but glad we won it

 

[Frang]

Great game that

it really really wasn't.

 

[roydo]

20 shots according to the BBC. Listening, it didnt feel like that.

That said, who cares?

A result to paper over the cracks

We don’t expect to be perfect, but we deserved to win and all of the signs are positive. We’re going in the right direction.
