Crystal Palace vs. AZ Alkmaar match thread

[Palacesince64]

Thank f*ck for Sarr. JP got a brilliant assist but otherwise had a mare. He has an amazing touch one minute then hopeless the next. Seems to score when he doesn’t have time to think but awful when he does. Hope he rediscovers his touch for the weekend.
Overall a decent team performance and a good result. Weed up next.

My main takeout is we will miss Sarr during Afcon.

Our squad does depend on a small number of reliables, correct Eagle.

its a worry.

Olli has said in the past that he prefers to work with a smallish squad and 15 -16 is about right . I guess its easier to keep everyone happy with game time .

A great match to watch, despite a sprinkling of errors, but they are inevitable in a game like this when a lot is at stake for both sides. Alkmaar looked good at the start, but faded. We bossed it thanks to Ollie and his tactics. OK, some of his subs may have seemed odd, but, hey, we won didn't we?

Great night and so good to feel the Holmesdale bouncing even on the telly. Well done lads. Now for Brighton.

Good result but , Mateta worrys me he either works the keeper or very close , which he is not doing but all good strikers struggle at some point , scum next he loves a goal against them , so next con match is a must win to show we are the team to beat , so another win for the mighty eagles 🦅🦅🦅🦅

Mateta always goes to that corner and the goalie knew it. Good pass for sarrs goal

Celtic had a player in the 60s called Bent Martin. Bet he'd have swapped.

Wasn’t he a bit too old to be playing at that level at that age😀

Cracking result. After a tricky first 10 minutes we mainly bossed it and could really have been out of sight after the first half. Getting into the top 8 would be so good as it'd ease the fixture congestion a little.

Hopefully Mateta is just saving his goals for Brighton.

It’s crazy that this team can dominate a game as much as Palace did tonight… with 35% possession. Great result, good performance and we should be in half decent shape for Brighton

Can someone explain what we need to do to guarantee qualification for the next round.

How many points from how many games.

Sorry I haven't been paying attention.🙂

I believe it’s top eight. After last night we are ninth.
