Needs to learn from this mistake. Bad time to lose his head with so many injuries and quarantine shit going on.

Still far too raw. His athletic ability bails him out most of the time but he's not composed or clever enough to play CB at the top level, which is probably why he gets chucked out at RB most of the time.

If it wasn’t for the red card he would have been my man of the match today. He seems to be growing in stature for the team and I thought he looked really good in the centre of defence today. I think he can become our own Kounde who I am sure must have made mistakes on his trajectory to a £50 million target for sides like ourselves. I am sure he will learn from today and I look forward to his next performances.

Impressed me today, he stands up for himself and the club.

made a silly mistake but it wasn’t the worst tackle in the world for the second one, plus may we add if Palace had been good sportsmen and kicked the ball out when we had one down it wouldn’t have even developed

Can’t really blame him for losing his head when the players infront of him let their man pound him for 60 mins straight. Any CB would eventually lose their shit. Horrid performance from PEH, Winks and Skipp today. They let the back line down.

He'll learn from today in terms of composure. But I thought he was playing decent again.

He's not the finished article by a long way and may not go on to be a top top player. But he has the natural athletic ability which helps. Game time and experience will help.

And I know his scuffle with Zaha was part of the reason the red came. But I absolutely loved him firstly taking him out to protect the team from attack, and then more than standing up for himself. A bit like when he smashed Sterling in the first 10 seconds vs City. Takes no prisoners. And personally I find that refreshing.

We should all be massively supporting him IMO. He'll make errors but he's our local lad giving his absolute all.

If only all our players did that.

Usually he’s great playing on a yellow, but that was the tackle of a man who was wound up by a referee who’s dealt with the game poorly.

Frankly we should’ve had a free kick for Gallaghers umpteenth foul of the match which left Lucas in a heap and instead (probably because he’s not fit enough to keep up with play judging by how much he jiggles) Moss again did nothing, and Zaha being the unsporting little **** that he is charged forward. Then, Zaha puts his hands on Tanganga’s face multiple times in the ensuing fracas. I wish Tanganga had gone down clutching his face but he’s not that sort.

It was a deserved two yellows but it was a product of the incompetence of a ref and the unpunished cheating off two of their players.

Was having a great game. Red card doesn't change that for me that's a learning process as he lost his head. Nice to see him playing well in his proper position

The site is overloaded right now but apparently he's been arrested over gambling offences. Note I've never heard of the source and the account is an aggregator (albeit a very prolific one, more often for politics): maybe 50/50 on this being BS

Be very shocked if true. Seems so humble and has great parents behind him so would be out of charachter as far as how I perceive him goes.

If there's any truth to this I hope we give him the support he needs.

Love you Japh.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is under police custody as well

Let's see if it makes it onto a more reputable source
