Bah, from memory we exited fairly swiftly when Roy was in charge, and I see no difference in the list of priorities facing the club under Vieira. A totally debased competition, teams don't even bother to put out their strongest side, which says everything.

Luka didnt miss the penalty ,the keeper made a decent save . He plays in a position ,protecting the defence ,where yellow cards are an unfortunate bi-product of doing the job . Look at any DM in the country and they will have yellow cards against their name . Its notable that he is cute enough never to get another one .

He is not the player he was but Id still take him over Hughes who is rightly another notch down the pecking order .

I'm not that bothered about this Cup, although obviously it would be nice for Palace to actually win a trophy.

Taking the positives, we didn't lose and didn't concede during the actual game.

The pens weren't great, and I think we have a right to expect better from Luka and Mateta.

The format and timing of this competition need reviewing to generate more interest.

Old, Ungifted and White

how would we know, he has never been given a run in the team. If he isn’t that good then why the hell did we buy him?
