Excellent 2nd half again, Wilf is in his element in those games where you need to take it to teams. Whilst 1st half lacked rhythm you can’t doubt a manager when he gets a response like that from his team. He juggled the Benteke/Bats situation well, it’s up to them to fight it out now.

Re. Max/Jmac, disappointing and pointless debate imo. Jmac has been and is still a class player, so underrated and embarrassing the criticism he gets from some. Max is fantastic and plenty to come from him but he’s far from the finished article. The competition is healthy, they both have their place in different games.

Up the palace.

Wonderful news as the weed are losing 3-1 at home to Burnley and we go above them.
They now have the potential to get dragged into the relegation mix given their recent run of poor results and both Cardiff and Burnley revivals.

It doesn't matter what other teams do, it's what we do. I'm not concerned with 3 teams being worse than us, I'm concerned with us being better than the teams around us. That means winning games at home, creating chances and putting them away. We have struggled to do that this season. We are only 3 points above relegation, so it's about time we got our s*** in gear.

Thought they were slightly better than us first half, wingers that actually deliver a good cross, early.
Second half , did they get in our half more than once ?
We missed 5 great chances during the game. You’d struggle to find a better 1-1. Definitely don’t want to sign Antonio, Meyer and Batshuai need to start.
Great game, deserved more.

Indeed, although we’re a point nearer the trap door than we were this morning, we’ve actually moved up in the table and we’re above the weed for the first time in ages, so I’ll settle for that today.

Of course!
