My main criticism/criticisms of Wilf (if you want to count them as two) are:

1 - that he would prefer to highlight to a referee that he was fouled. Some say a diver. Maybe, but I think his "dives" are often the result of a genuine foul. It's probably turned referees against him now and neutral fans love to simply call him a diver. Not even going to debate what label to put on it, but there are times when you think that however much he's being fouled, he has the balance to stay on his feet and he should opt to progress with the ball rather than go down.

2 - that he doesn't play to to the whistle. Don't get a free kick? Get back up then and re-join your team as quick as you can.

So that's all the bad stuff I have to say about him. He's probably my favourite Palace player, I think he works really hard and as has been said, he's singled out by opponents for marking which can often make his game look ordinary. The most heart breaking thing for me about staring into the eyes of relegation is that Wilf Zaha could leave the club because we can't give him Premier League footie. That's the one thing I'd really struggle to reconcile if we went down (and I'm not saying that I have given up, see other threads on that subject).

with the quality of out set pieces of late he will be better off trying to play on after getting fouled.

Wilf just needs to get up and get on with it when fouled. Ronaldo and messi get kicked every single game and they don't complain! My fav ever palace player though by a mile!

You do know there is an international break lol

Like the majority of your posts... everything.
