His form peaks when they are awarded a penalty.

But jokes aside, their defence has always been questionable. Maguire and Lindelof? What a laugh. Expensive doesn't mean good.
We need to push for Dias before they get ideas


...dont shoot yourselves in the foot Palace!

Saw a tweet earlier about them, it seems that teams are deploying the same tactics against them and isolating them when they go wide, because they are so slow on the turn and have poor acceleration it will almost inevitably result in a good chance for the opposition, see Bergwijn's goal last season for example.

Palace missed so many chances to kill the game today, and then just given that goal away... so frustrating if United come back

The fact that Atkinson looks at that replay and gives the pen means no one really knows what handball is anymore.

which is to say it means different things to different people.
Depends if a similar incident happens in another game and what the decision is. If it's different then the refs are fucked. If it's the same then defenders are fucked.

At least there is consistency when it happens in the attacking third now.

Lovely Zaha. You could see that he was angry about that thing with Maguire a minute before.

Why does Zaha always look angry or frustrated whenever he scores. This isnt just because its Manure, it happens regularly
