What a game

What a result

This is what I dreamed of when I thought of Palace playing in Europe

Off to bed a happy man 😴

Excellent performance, Ollie and the lads. It’s only half-time, and anything can happen in football, and so on. But let’s be realistic: The only way we can be knocked out of the competition now is if we do it ourselves. Shakhtar are a decent side and better than most of our other opponents so far, but they’re no Barcelona. We’re also far superior to them tactically.

Excellent performance, LaCroix immense as always, Wharton superb and I’ve always liked Kamada 😇😂

See you at Selhurst!! Will be quite a night

Great result there boys snd girls!
Onward and upward we go.

Could only catch second half , but great performances all round .
Donetsk despite being divey are a decent outfit pretty skill full and moved ball around well .
The dead ball situations were my concern , they were winning a lot of free kicks and corners .I was always a bit worried .
At last a couple of long throws resulted in a big double save and a goal

Lanzo can you manage any words of praise for Glansers selections, formation, tactics and substitutions?

 

[Westina]

What a great night to look forward to at Selhurst next week.

 

[Painter]

Enjoyable game, they played into Glasner's tactics, we always looked dangerous on a breakaway. For all their fancy play, didn't really get any decent chances apart from one set piece.

Kamada assist

Just sayin'

It was a great assist!

 

[esox lucius]

Got to be one of our best ever results, more than I could have ever dreamt of.
Happy safe journey home everyone.

Pitch was awful any slower and it wouldn't leave the centre spot , our pitch will be faster our pace will tell , great result but awful to watch class told but wasn't pretty , Germany here we come COYP 🏆🏆

Kamada assist

You will have earned Grumpmorts ire now 😉

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Kamada goal contributions are a lot like buses...

Expensive and late?
I'm in France and found a stream halfway through the second half which kept jumping back 10 minutes so the score was reading 1-3 even though they hadn't shown the goal which was a bit disorientating.
Oh, well, great result. Well done boys.

I 'ignored' him a long time ago and never been happier on the HOL

Great result and a great hardworking performance. Defence stood up to a lot of pressure and our counter attack looked back to near its best.

Ironically I thought Shakhtar were clearly the best team we've played so far. A lot of dangerous players with great technical ability... Certainly would rather our scouting department look at their squad instead of the Wolves team.

Great team performance with a lot of determined displays. Kamada probably the pick of the bunch and very pleased for JSL to get a very important and wonderfully taken goal.

Enjoy all you fans out there, sounded fantastic 👏

COYP

Really pleased for JSL. I dont see JP scoring that same goal which obviously shows OGs tactics to use JSL late on.

Pino had a good game finally and Kamada was brilliant too. Love the fact Henderson didn't have to make any match winning saves and the fact all I could see what Shaktar scoring the entire game but we just contained them and scored 3 !!! Bloody well played Palace 🔴🔵 !!!!!!!

Fantastic result, Kamada MOTM and JSL paid off a big chunk of his transfer fee off

 

[DANGERCLOSE]

Our defence was superb Henderson included, love it

Up the Palace

Nah, Wharton absolutely ran the show. Fair play though, Daichi decent today.
