Any team that have 3 of their best players missing is going to have a weakened bench. Didn't think ours looked tat bad considering...

Never would have thought you'd be part of the cursor police Rudi

The point is to play as a team and to believe in the philosophy of the manager - credit to Roy, the players look like a real team now

You would have to say after the first 60 minutes versus Watford, some of that slagging off was justified. Then we go and win against a team that very rarely gives away points at home. Now we'll probably struggle to get a nil all draw versus Swansea and everything will be back to normal again.

Zaha has some green grass in front of him here. Finds Ambrose
not a bad effort ooooooooooh! what a goal by Darren Ambrose absolutely stunning strike!!! And, Crystal Palace lead @ Old Trafford.

Blasphemy!

I'm right here mate.

I appreciate that we've won a few games now and there is nobody happier than me that that is the case.

However, the results against Watford (very lucky) and Leicester (honestly, I'm worried they just had an off-day, although I have to admit I was travelling for work and wasn't able to watch the game) aside, we still dropped points against Bournemouth, which was a very winnable game.

I still stand by my OP, the squad as a whole is not good enough and suffers from chronic lack of quality investments. Roy is working wonders to keep us competitive but as others on this thread have said, we are 2 injuries away from another crisis.

Who replaces Zaha if he's injured? Sako? Just because he's scored a couple doesn't change the fact that he isn't PL quality.

I still think Benteke is wasteful, as evidenced in the Leicester highlights, he probably should have scored 4 goals and eventually walked away with just 1. But if he gets injured again, or suspended, we have no backup.
