How can you even say that when we have been in total controll and lead 2-0? Not even sniffing the bottom half of the glass?

We will if we get anything like that number of crosses in for JSL.

Did he score or get an asist no-pe so people need to stop making out he did something special.
He should have scored one of those chances yet he didn't.
Only thing he gets credit for is effort nothing else but that is his job.
Well, showing some effort for what is the job is rather rare in this world nowadays..... but I don't want to be too philosophical on a day we won 3:0 against Fiorentina. 😉

Wow, just wow! Absolutely incredible performance from us today, every single player has put in a worldy tonight. We’ve dominated a historic and well respected Serie A side here and never did they look like being in the game.
That game was us putting down a statement of intent. This group is really special and they can do anything they set their minds to.
We could’ve had five or more.

It’s not only up to him is it? He created chances. The fact they weren’t converted into goals doesn’t detract from his performance, he did his part, in a brief cameo I’m not sure what else you were expecting from him, he did a fantastic job today.
Last year the prize money for a semi final place was €2.5m, no?

Was in Madeira watching, sat next to a Stoke fan. He was more excited for us than the other Palace fans in the bar? Maybe I’m just getting old, but after 60 years as a Palace fan why would other Palace fans not get excited by that? I thought we were great tonight. Only wish I’d been at the Temple of Football.

Kamada and Wharton totally controlled MF tonight
and we saw the Pino we've been waiting to see. Superb Yezza

Kamada often seems to be on the periphery and makes very little contribution but he got a lot more involved and was all the better for it.

We're already through. We need to win it now. And then Europe with a bigger squad next season.

Other way around (according to the Conference League page on Wikipedia), because they're in QF1 and we're in QF2. We would be away first and then at home.
Great result and overall a decent performance. It was just refreshing to finally watch an open game again as the European and Premier League fixtures seem to have been such drab stalemates for a few months now.
A lot of decent performances through the team today and I thought Pino did really well when he came on and dragged us out of our most passive spell in the game. He started moving the ball forwards again and we immediately started making chances.
The 3rd goal should ensure Fiorentina have to really go for it from the start next week which hopefully leaves more space for us to counter.
A few more nights like this please.

Very enjoyable Selhurst night
Was a bit strange after half time being so dominant that we sat back. My guess was it was deliberate to win the ball in transitions before breaking forward. But it didn't work and invited pressure. Until Pino came on and started breaking through the lines.
Probably see more of the same defensive set up in Florence next week.
Worthy winners. One of those when Kamada makes total sense. Good game from him. Mateta got one but should / could have had more. Yeremy lifted the crowd and performance. Great song and support for him, even before he came on.
Feels like the club is now (perhaps briefly) totally united. Six weeks and in everyone's interest to end this season on a high. Great chance for the semi finals and beyond. We looked a good side tonight.
Well done to Canvot and Guessand/Pino for not making us look so far away from the Guehi / Eze era that we often have recently
So nice for a bit of Insomnia at kick off rather than fools rushing in
Shame the Tifo display was largely blown away. But wasn't an omen. It was the Italians who were swept aside.

He was particularly s*** tonight. Missed three sitters as you say but his overall play was also way off the pace. A first touch which is further than most people can kick it and not showing or making runs for our players when in possession.
