Rich

He’d just been fouled you cracker. Wouldn't mind the insult if he hadn't been completely wrong I was clearly joking man!

There’s at least a goal here for us.

He’d just been fouled you cracker.

Manquillo on the wing. My my.

I too am dead shocked at this outcome.

Too short, if anything. Was getting into that.

That’s what it’s all about. Atmosphere was blistering at the end.

Class today, all-around quality.

Best £24m we ever spent.

Dubravka Yedlin Lascelles Lejeune Dummett Diame Merino Murphy Perez Kenedy Slimani Subs: Darlow, Manquillo, Hayden, Shelvey, Atsu, Gayle, Joselu Looking forward to this. Get the strugglers out of the team/squad and have a go. Even that with Atsu and Joselu starting would be fine, as long as Murphy and Slimani were on the bench.

Don't think it was much to do with individuals, they changed shape and approach (especially in the way they pressed) and we couldn't cope. They had completely stood off our defenders/Shelvey/Diame for the first 35 minutes, which made it a very easy game for us to play. Mental tactics from Hodgson to begin with against a team with no aerial outlet and defenders who are poor in possession.

He’ll be dropped for Man Utd and rightly so. Then I can start grumbling at Lejeune for being shite instead.

Feels like a win. Disgusting second half.

Merino in 10 so we can compete in the air.

Absolutely dire this last 25 mins. Palace have sussed that it’s a decent idea to press high against a side with nobody to aim long balls at, can’t believe they started so passively and played right into our hands.

I think it's only Gamez left on the sidelines, right? Everyone was else was in the training pictures.

Dubravka Yedlin Lascelles Clark Dummett Diame Shelvey Murphy Atsu Kenedy Perez That's my guess, although feel like it's too few changes for Benitez after a midweek game. Might see Super Javier in for Yedlin and Ritchie in for Atsu, Darlow/Dubravka is basically 50/50.

Karl? Aye used to stomp buckets with him in various East Mids rec. parks. A nice guy. Agree he'll probably keep his place like, unless Benitez is feeling frisky.

Do you know Darlow?

Not a massive ask tbph It'll basically be one in two, which will be canny given our run in!

This lad to be top scorer come end of season.

Someone might have beaten me to it, but surely we could revive the Robert Lee song for this kid if he keeps it up.

Just think he's a bit out of his depth at this level - was prepared to let him off earlier in the season because of the amount of disruption there was at centre-back, but he's been in a settled pairing for a while now and is still struggling.

Well this is an unexpected surprise.

Hope he’s the difference. Most expensive player we’ve ever had?
