We would still miss
It’s clear the players are knackered. Maxince has played the most minutes of any player in the top 5 leagues and the other members of the back line can’t be far behind.
What I don’t understand is we have a double pairing in the centre of midfield that could easily be used to give the other duo a break. I don’t understand why for the league we start Wharton and Hughes and in Europe we start Lerma and Kamada. Surely as this is the engine this would make more sense.
Also how bad is Esse showing in training that Uche gets in ahead of him?
We better sort something soon because we will lose Sarr in a month and that is a big threat gone.

It felt like he is pissed off and wanted to lash out. Found an easy target but he went down in my estimation with that.

Not quite what I saw, until maybe November Wharton was struggling with injury and people on here were calling for Glasner to sacked
It improved after that with that being the best combo, but by end of March Kamada got up to speed and Wharton/Kamada were the better combo. I thought Kamada was brilliant at the Wembley games.
Thats where we are now.

Missing 3 goldplated chances in the first half was a game changer for ManU, I don't know whats happened to Mateta but he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.
Started well even ended with a better Xg than United but by the end of the first half I felt they looked leggy
15mins into the 2nd I could only see it going one way as they lacked the necessary energy, I know they played midweek but I hope Glasner takes that into account in training and doesn't drive them too hard
The goals went in and our subs come on, they are competent but not capable of recovering that situation, you kind of knew where it was going after an hour
Very disappointed with Glasners speech, he knows who we are and knew before he came. We cannot pay enough to trump the ambition of players like Eze and Geuhi, those players want a bucket load of cash, champions league and England. Palace need the dosh to maintain the status quo.
His speech effectively criticises players as not being good enough, hardly confidence building, its also an outrageous message to other clubs that he's available.
On the other hand Parish has done wonders helping to save Palace from liquidation and careful management to take us beyond our size.
