Palace 2 - 0 Saints - Post Match Reaction Thread

[Legod Third Coming]

I love all the people on here who slate the performance from their front room via Dave whispering Merrington... Maybe he whispers because if people close by heard him he would be locked in a padded cell...

 

Anyway, just got back - was a good evening in London and one thing can lead to another...!

 

We were the better side. The ref was a solid Homer - terrible. We should have had a free kick on the 18 yard line. He plays advantage, there is none, so he carries on???!!!! WTF.

 

Reeves - what a great little player. Industrious, thoughtful, strong (for his size) and lovely touch.

Ward-Prowse - cracking performance given what he was asked to do. Don't think Palace chucked on eleven kids against us, they didn't. WP playing against lads like Ambrose will have really shown him what football is about.

Martin - won everything in the air really. Looked much more composed than Seaborne.

Harding - did ok but I can now see Fox is first choice and why.

Butterfield - has a touch of Benali about him. Final ball not great, works bloody hard but not Captain material and not really up to our standard now.

 

De Ridder - hmmm. What an enigma. At times sublime. At times couldn't trap a bag of cement. An impact player if ever I saw one.

 

We played the best football by a mile but were undone by more clinical final third play - classic smah and grab, twice! And an object lesson in concentration.

 

Palace fans I chatted to on the train could all see why we are top of the league.

 

Hey ho. I love the cups but this maybe a blessing.

Oh yeah. Two more things. Morgan is the best player we have at hitting a ball anywhere on the park. He MUST start. he is top class.

 

Forte. Nice lad I'm sure. Footballer? Probably not.

Pretty much exactly how I saw it. All things considering, I didn't think we were that bad at all.
