Crystal Palace vs. Middlesbrough match thread

Chilwell will prove to be a very good singing. His experience and class will be needed.

He can play all the cup and European games and sub in for Mitchell when necessary in the league.

He certainly seems to have found his voice!

At his age that is v good

And it could be better than an old Marc Guehi.

what Oasis fashion boutique managed to kit out mr Sage ?

Bonne Marche!!

A more controlled second half. Our press wasn't so suicidal so the space for Boro wasn't so big to play into.

We take some risks going forwards which is exciting and can lead to some decent chances. We frustratingly sometimes rush the first pass which kills off an attack before it's even started but I think we've been like that for as long as I can remember.

I've given JSL plenty of criticism but pleased for him and should do his confidence some good. Just needs to do it against a Prem defence now.

Disasi and Honest look promising.

Tomiyasu did ok but importantly lasted 90 mins.

Wharton needs to recalibrate his passing radar.

Mingueza some decent passes a little iffy when defending.

Osorio looked better in spells when we had controlled possession rather than any quick breaks.

Gozo extremely raw.

Hughesy, you've gotta love him.

... And a beautiful finish from Daichi.

Onto the next round!

Good report !

My honest harsh but real thoughts were…

JSL I too am delighted for him, but I also think championship player.

New signings..

Gozo. Oh dear another Franca . Sounds and looks promising but weak and dangerous.

Mingueza . Thought he looked good , gunna be a great addition

Osario . Nothing special yet from what I saw .

Diasi . What we needed massively .

McNeil . = Johnson . Utter garbage.

chillwell. Nice steady . Never gunna wow anything . He’s like the person who passes every test with a grade C.

 

[ASCPFC]

Bonne Marche!!

Marks and Sparks?

 

[eaglesdare]

I am actually wondering if he is taking his captaincy role seriously. Maybe he has realised he has lost a step and needs to change his game to a more 'senior' level to keep playing. Time will tell I guess.

He didint even get booked in the game! 😱

That ruined a few bets I'd say.

 

[DANGERCLOSE]

Love it

Hughes bossed the midfield

 

[madcap_v2]

Whilst Disasi might not be the Guehi/LaCroix replacement we need, he'll do until we find him.

We have a lot better depth this season, we're going to be ok.

Middlesbrough didn’t deserve to lose that 3-0, strange to say but they were the better team, but no cutting edge and three excellent goals from us was the difference

 

[Stansferret]

Two players scored and hopefully have found more confidence in front of goal. Really hope that sharpens our attack.
We’re still a work in progress, but tonight will help.

That’s so harsh based on 20 minutes in a won match for McNeila and Gozo. They did what they were on to do which was help see the game out. Not sure what you expected.

I’m certainly not going to write them off based on that and I expect most Palace fans won’t either.

Also bizarre take on Chilwell given he was solid throughout and made one of our goals.

 

[ASCPFC]

Sage games seem to take less time than games under Glasner and Roy. I think it's possible that Sage is some kind of magician who can control the perception of time. Or the others played boring football, one or the other.

Chillwell is nice steady I said? Just that’s it..

McNeil and Gozo is going all there performances so far.. ? s***
