An ageing team with little investment versus a team built with hundreds of millions. We worked hard but today we just lost to the better team. I thought Ward was motm and Mitchell had a reasonable game, and Eze was more involved, although his set-pieces were not great. Zaha was really poor today though. Poor decisions, poor touch and couldn't beat his man. Had he been at his best there were a few times when he could have done more. Not sure if he was carrying a knock, or just off his game.

Compared to a lot of the previous dross this was an improvement. I don't go along with criticism of Dann and Reidewald, both played well I thought as did Ward especially. Zaha is going from mediocre to much worse and his martyred approach doesn't help his team or impress the referee. The captain got the yellow I predicted and I would drop him - he has no creativity or leadership. Time to give youth a chance against Sheff United - we have nothing to lose.

Perhaps there are those who will conclude that Dann performed at the top end of his ability at this stage of his career.Problem is that the heights he can achieve in the 'Twilight' of his career are not good enough for the PL. Riedewald cannot perform consistently over 90 mins, hence he is subbed often. Edited by Willo (01 May 2021 2.42pm)

Just watching the goals back, Luka is sluggish to track back on both occasions. First goal he lets Aguero go and second goal he almost walks back when City burst forward. To me he has just looked a little like he doesn't actually care as much as he used to. His booking was also because he is too slow to keep up with the game. I like him as a person, but it is an area we need an upgrade next season

Don’t think he’s the player he was. Agree, , I’m afraid Wilf’s is his own worst emery and this is his downfall instead of putting his head down and letting his football talk, The slightest decision that goes against him it sets him off. That of course is how other teams play him, wind him up kill Palace’s only threat we sen this with Watford last season and Brighton this.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
