He never looked great for Palace tbh, we probably got best of him

Definitely our best midfielder of the ashley era. The midfield of Cabaye and Tiote was an unbelievable combination in hindsight, could have really been something special. Seemed to have lost something from PSG though, never looked anywhere near his best for Palace.

A lot seemed happy to see back of Yedlin but Kraft starting is just grim

Could understand him leaving himself, been there a while maybe burnt out? Absolutely no sense sacking him or anything. Would genuinely be mad. Of course they are having a duff year, last 3 years, had one solid year not quite ready, one season where any other season they' d have won the league and also won champions league (!) and then won the league next season. He is a fairly popular brand in and of himself, an off season after all that is perfectly reasonable.

that's here isn't it?

There have been hints this might be the case tbh. When? I guess after new contract he had a bit of a poor patch but nothing more than that? Still slightly baffling to suggest any attitude problem tbh?

If he does very well unlikely to want to be sold, why i hate these 6 month loans tbh even though understand why. Fair enough quick bolster but no long term hope for building the team

Remember when there was talk when we signed him that his personality was a potential problem? Wtf was with that?

Pedestrian championship midfielder at best. Offers nothing.

Despite all the negativity really happy that he's finding really good form (and you know in better areas to be able to do anything). I always hate how he was dismissed as a flop after he transformed our offensive game, albeit without finding net much, in that last 6 months for Rafa. He's actually really really good.

Pretended to be injured so Brucey has an excuse

our fucking medical department

Weak from Lewis

How on earth Willian keeps getting on the pitch for arsenal is a mystery

Hendrick is the new Colback

I love how after they wrote MAKEM in caps they suddenly panicked and had no space for Rule. Also why is that comma there?

I am always slightly puzzled as to why a lot don't rate him at all. No his crossing is pretty poor but his pace and hard work did a lot more than some people recognize tbh. I think he was better than some think.

He's a very good player tbh it's always that he's often injured that has let him down

Yet another intimated dig at Rafa in his MotD interview. GET THE FUCK OVER IT YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR LONGER THAN MOST MANAGERS GET. Jesus christ just enjoy your win, talk about having a chip on your shoulder.

One of those performances to bring out the 'every blade of grass covered' cliche

Absolutely great no 9 performance from him and also smart, pulling wide a lot.

Almiron and Wilson immense, Hayden too. Still think Shelvey is wank.

Well if we got a win was expecting a scrappy one, and instead we were...good. Have to credit jones, we have never passed it about like that under Bruce at any point. Weird. What on earth are Everton up to, dreadful

Someone gif that Almiron sorry face
