How good are Crystal Palace?

Personally I think you’re one of the top 8 teams in the league. Yeah I know you didn’t finish there, but you guys were for the cup - rightly. You’re better than Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham and the other clubs that hover and compete around 7-10.
 
I agree, however, it’s easy to decline and hard to ascend in the Premier League. Being in Europe is glamorous but heavily taxing on legs. The best teams I remember played the same starting 11 all the time and that is simply impossible now in a 60 game season. We produced very sub standard performances when Sarr, Wharton, Kamada and Munoz were absent. I think we need high quality replacements in these positions to survive and then improve. Regarding the defence, if Lacroix goes, that would be a huge mistake as he is the talisman of the team. The youngsters will come good but mistakes will happen as they progress. Midfield, we absolutely must keep Wharton and Kamada. Up front, I think we are ok with what we have…even though Mateta needs 4 chances to score one goal.

Paredes actions were very unfortunate, but I actually thought that Fernandez sending off was harsh. I understand the second yellow card. It was a bit of a rash challenge. I don’t really understand the first yellow for dissent though.

Agreed but I think the Argentina team are as good as they come at totting up niggly infringements throughout their team.

Paredes, for example, did enough to get at least 4 yellow cards in the 120 minutes before it dawned on him at the final whistle that - in his own head - he was Chuck Norris reincarnated. Several other teammates were also lucky to stay on.

Our weakness last season was 'scoring goals'............and we only got away with it cos our defence was rock solid.

new season ? it all depends upon what players we can keep.
