Fiorintina vs Crystal Palace match thread

Was nothing more than I expected couple of wobbles but happy we are through , I thought the ref done well overall , yes couple of bad advantages when we would be happy to have the foul , but did take to much crap

This might be so, however having witnessed Fiorentina over the two legs I have been far from impressed with them. To lose to them after taking the lead is disappointing.
A 'Bitter sweet' night for me.

We're we linked with that Manor Solomon or whatever his name is at some stage? Kind of one of their players that stood out as quite good. Had a feeling he was Spurs or something. Or was that the same guy?

I’m sorry, but I hope we never experience a more disappointing evening than tonight. We’ve reached the semi-finals of a European competition tonight, which is no mean feat for many clubs of our size.

I would have liked to have won both games too, but we got through the tie with no unnecessary yellow cards and a couple of (hopefully) minor injuries. A professional performance in which Fiorentina showed nothing to really threaten a turnaround.

On to the semi finals we go!

Wharton was holding his groin which is never a positive sign.
If Wharton and Lacroix are both missing for the W.Ham game, the 'Hammers' will emerge victorious.

Agreed, we would struggle without them.

A Wharton groin injury is never good, although both looked in good spirits on the bench at the end so hopefully we'll get away with it.

Not a great second half, but apart from their 2nd goal they didn’t offer too much of a threat. We were seriously weakened by the loss of Adam and Max. I think we would have at least got a draw out of the game had they not gone off.
Hopefully the injuries are not as bad as they looked as we looked dodgy at the back without Max and then playing the back 3 out of position.
Well done boys job done.

From Glasner post match as reported on BBC live text

On injuries to Adam Wharton and Maxence Lacroix: "Adam is an abductor [injury], like when he had to leave the England camp. Let's see, it doesn't look so serious but we have to assess him further. Maxence was foot to foot contact and then he felt his knee, the medial ligament so let's see but it is painful. Unfortunately we play in four days again but credit to the players that came in. Today we are celebrating going to the semi-finals, it is a massive achievement for the players and for Crystal Palace and we are enjoying tonight."

Damn. Hopefully they'll both be back soon. 2 key players.

A question from someone who couldn't watch the game. When Lacroix left and Riad came in, did Mitchell remain at wingback? Mitchell has improved in attack, but when protecting a lead in a critical match I would want Mitchell in our last line of defense.
