Hopefully, with VAR, a lot of the stuff he has to endure will cut out. That tackle on him outside the box that was given as a corner was unbelievable. That has to stop.

I watched them when they were first added to the site (all 15 mins of them) but they now seen to have been taken down?! Pre match and post match stuff but no game highlights.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Wilf Ban' by Midlands Eagle Wilfs career is at a defining moment. Earlier in the season he went live on tv to complain about harsh tackles being ignored by refs. He is now appealing to the FA about the red card at Southampton. Players careers at the top are so short these days, 10-12 years if all goes well. Wilf is already more than halfway there and it is only in the past couple of seasons that his talents have really blossomed after failing to impress at Man U. Although I am totally sympathetic to Wilfs plight and the infuriating way referees ignore dangerous play, if he doesn’t look out he could become the player who fights the system as opposed to the super star who sets the game on fire. Since his TV interview re challenges his performances have dropped and become more cynical. At Anfield he showed everyone what he is still capable of with a world class performance that Klopp was drooling over that ironically included good referee protection culminating in a deserved red card for Milner. Unfortunately at Southampton his display regressed back into his personal crusade to fight the system culminating in a red card for Wilf. I’m not sure Palace have professionals in place to help him with his mental approach to this or even realise the potential effect it is having on Wilf. Wilf needs to decide NOW where his future lies. Does he follow Hazard and just accept every hacking down without emotion or does he present as the petulant player with consequences that will affect his future direction? Undoubtedly the top clubs want the emotionless talent, but is that Wilf? His petulant performance at Southampton will undoubtedly be brought into question by any potential suitor for his talents. So ultimately it is down to Wilf. Either morph into Hazard and just get up and walk away from every scything and move onto a top club or stay in SE 25 and continue down his current path. A career defining moment that faces Wilf to determine his remaining precious years in top flight football. Edited by dreamwaverider (07 Feb 2019 5.34am) Edited by dreamwaverider (07 Feb 2019 5.54am)

Edited by dreamwaverider (07 Feb 2019 5.34am) Edited by dreamwaverider (07 Feb 2019 5.54am) God post. This sums up why no one has made a realistic bid for him, although many on here think he should be playing for a top 4 club or Barcelona and we should be getting eighty plus million for him etc. He needs to get his head down, realise that he isn’t even currently the best winger at Palace and start putting it in every week. He doesn’t deserve champions league football, he’s at his correct level and needs to be at his best to currently be in our best 5 aside team. Can be very good for us and become one of our best ever , but in my opinion too many tricks and not enough substance, or mentally right for a big move. Talking to someone would help, but only if he thinks he has a problem. Edited by Casual (07 Feb 2019 6.47am)

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Wilf Ban' by Midlands Eagle I actually think his challenging responses make refs less inclined to award fouls in his favour. They're wary of being seen to be influenced by him. Or of being influenced by him. Trouble is, sometimes it feels like he needs to feel that injustice, that rage, to hit his very best. To be right on the edge. Like he's in a fight where all he's allowed to do is kick a ball. I've sometimes felt with him like a booking will rile him but presents him with a limit that forces him to focus on winning his fight with the football. It felt to me like after Watford he was trying not to play on the edge...and finding it tough. If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
