LCFC 2-1 Crystal Palace - Post Match Thread

[TrentFox]

In amongst the Nacho love-in, (rightly deserved), Evans has been superb of late and was vital this evening. Vital.

The lad has huge potential just needs the right coach !

He turns 29 in November !! Just about 30 & we are talking potential. The good ship "potential" sailed a long time ago.

Liverpool are the team I'm most worried about. If they win at the weekend then I think it will give them a boost and they'll go onto win all of their remaining games, which are very winnable.

Don’t know why Man U ever sold him  anyway we are benefitting now 

Even more baffling that he was deemed surplus to requirements at a relegated West Brom and came to us for £3.5 Million. In 2018. Six months after Virgil van Dijk changed hands for £75 million.

Not trying to claim he's on the same level, but the thought of being able to get 21 Jonny Evans'es for the price of him, and still having enough pocket change to buy a Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood is incredible.

Zaha has got to be football’s biggest cry baby. No wonder he’s never gone on to better things must be an absolute nightmare in training, bet he storms off if his team loses one of the mini games. Although must be tough to play for a team like Palace...

Really hope Manure drop many points from now til end of season the scum don’t deserve to finish second yet alone Man City as champions #Greedy6

we should be going for 2nd spot.

Top spot is probably out due to our inferior goal difference

[Webbo]

I reckon 2 more wins should see us top 4.

[UniFox21]

One worry for me is the number of times we've been caught with that high line. Several times again today. Really needs addressing and working on

[whoareyaaa]

massive win vital 3 points and great character to come back Evans was superb and Nacho wow!! unreal.

 

great team performance, table is looking good 2 more wins and we are on !!!!!!!!!

 

Brilliant!

You might, I won't.

 

Lets cement 4th then 3rd before we even think of the possibility of 2nd.

 

If Liverpool beat Man utd they're more than capable of winning their last four which would leave us still needing 5pts from our last 4 games even if we have beaten Southampton. 

We’ve beaten all the teams we’ve got left once already this season.

We’ve got this, and if we can beat United and pip them into 2nd place it’s a chance to exorcise last season demons for good.

[Tielemans63]

Special mention for Wilf. Thought he was great. Youri didn't have his best game but I really thought Wilf compensated for that.

There might be another reason too...

We don't win the game tonight if it wasn't for this incredible challenge from Jonny Evans:

 

 

[Guest Harrydc]

Few points on the game:

 

Crystal Palace love a foul. 

 

Luke Thomas's slip was hilarious. 

 

Perez is actually alright. 

 

 

[Guest kristianity77]

We've got a tough 3 games at the end but it's quite possible that by the time we play Man U, they could have second sewn up and nothing to play for.  Irs also possible that when we play Spurs, they have absolutely nothing to play for also.

I wouldn't touch Zaha with a ten foot barge pole !!!

 

2 metres is sufficient at the moment 

[yorkie1999]

For once , I’m looking forward to playing Man Utd and spurs. Tonight was the tricky game, the other sides won’t sit back which gives us far more opportunities.

Surely it has 0-0 written all over it. Utd against a top 6/7 side is always 0-0

[StriderHiryu]

Don't forget this guy tonight:

 

 

 

Another all-round great game in defence and attack, he was such an engine on him! Good ball from Tielemans, and Iheanacho showing he's more than just goals.

 

Great finish Timothy Castagne!

 

[daddylonglegs]

Another moment you can add to the ‘what a shame we weren’t there to see it’ list. 

 

Can you imagine the noise when Kelechi bangs that in.

Reminded me of Riyad's goal against Chelsea. The defender will have thought he was doing ok, til he found out he wasn't.

spot on

Also a far more solid defender than Maguire. How did I forget about him? 

 

Because he'd barely make top ten.

All of those you mentioned plus Cross and Sjoberg are streets ahead of the fridge.

Finally, we get to the main event- The Story of Steph Houghton.

Those two are very much before my time I'm afraid. 

[foxfanazer]

Eze would've been a great signing for us
