Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk match thread

What a night, one of those special Palace matches I'll remember for a long time.
Wharton, Mitchell or Kamada MOTM for me, Pino and Munoz excellent too.

Having a complete nightmate trying to book flights/hotel, so may settle for watching it at Boxpark with other Palace fans.

Up the Palace!
 
Joel Ward just now in the post match quickly corrected himself when he said the final could "potentially" be Glasner's last match for Palace - he stumbled and then said it would be his last match etc.

An honest mistake or a Freudian slip because he knows talks are happening. 🤔

It’s always best to go out on a high. If we win the Conference League Final, that will be 3 trophies inside thirteen months. That’s performance that will get some of the big European clubs interested in Glasner’s services.
 
Shakhtar were a good side but lacked finish.
It will be a much tougher game in the final. Rayo are a mid table side but playing in a much stronger league.
It’s going to take a special performance to lift that trophy.

The vast difference between us knocking it around at the back very riskily and often producing nothing, to Canvot occasionally just running it up the pitch for Palace possession in attack, is incredible.

Sometime I would like to see Canvot and Mitchell trade places from the start. Their physical stature notwithstanding, Jaydee seems the more dangerous attacker and Tyrick the more reliable defender...

Congratulations you just won the prize for saying our next team is better than us 1st , God why cant people enjoy , also in there league they have 42 points and got beat in this already big time
 
I never thought id hear 'we've got super Oli Glasner' again at Selhurst Park, but there it was tonight... there's a unity in the air: players, fans, mgt...

... I genuinely dont think playing 3 at the back will win you the league regardless of the club you manage... but it does make you a very strong cup team, especially as you go deep into a tournament... its an interesting dilemma. As someone who has been to all the Euro home games this season (including frederikstad), there have been been ups and downs, but clearly thats all water under the bridge now...

I hope we dont change too much from this template next season.

Premiership a must (but dont need to be top 10)
Every cup competition, take it seriously.
Keep bringing in the best young talent from Championship.
Strong youth team.
Strong women's team.

Honestly, it's been great. Two years ago to the week we demolished Man U 4-0!
 
That was impressive. Not only the victory but run to the final. I wonder if fans would rather have retained the FA Cup for a second year or reached this end of tournament. I believe you can now go on and win the Final as you've already beaten a number of decent club names to get there and what great successive seasons that is from winning the FA Cup to appearing in a European Final.

The team from the early 90's that included Bright, Wright, Martyn etc that were entertaining to watch were probably good enough to reach a euro final back then I feel but you'll have to argue that yourselves. Take a large number to the final now you've done it wherever it's held in Europe and take in the moment.

It would be a good advert for England what with Aston Villa in the other Final so continue on and bring back the trophy. A West Ham relegation around the same time would be just fine.
 
I hear that the Forest owner is working on an appeal to UEFA based on a couple of spelling mistakes that Palace made in its application forms for the tournament.
Forest contend that as losing semi finalist in the more senior competition they should take Palace’s place in the final in Leipzig which would give them a fair and equitable opportunity to compete in Europe next season should they win the final.

A mixed results night for Willo.
The joy of seeing Palace through to it’s first European final, but at the same time the despair of seeing his beloved Tories crushed in the local elections.

I didn't say they were better. I don't know if they are better.

Why would you assume I'm not enjoying it?

A bit of a weird response. No doubt you will get likes from other weird people.
