That pretty much sums it up for me too - Loved this season more than I can remember for many a year - Hopefully another encouraging window with a few more enterprising additions for next season & we can go again. Originally posted by taylors lovechild
Second half Chelsea played to a higher level and with the players they have they were too good. We can argue about formations, tactics and subs but second half they were too good. If Olise had been fit to start and Gallagher allowed to play maybe we would have stood a chance. They had a player on the bench who cost more than our entire squad so I think sometimes we just have to have perspective. A strong first season and Vieira will hopefully learn from it.

Viera had a nightmare, played 4-3.3 all season, then thought he would be clever, and if failed, God knows why and where ward was playing, and why Mateta came off for Ayew, For me he blew it. Have to agree, cannot understand it! Played Ward so had to use kouyate to cover so had to play 343 which we’ve never played. Clyne was on the bench so I assume he could have played. Why change a team/formation that has worked all year in the biggest game of our season?! Substitutions baffled me as well. Very disappointed.

You boys turn against the manager and team in a thrice. This has been the best season for years and you still moan. Don't believe it. You to*sers think you can come up with a better match plan than one of the best premier league players of all time! Palace don't deserve tw ats like you whingers. Unbelievable.

When he took off Mateta and brought in Ayew I knew the game was over.
Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978 |

Thought most of the game was an anti-climax, but at least our super fans put theirs to shame....BIG time! Reminded me of the 3-3 FA Cup final v Man Utd we played, with a sea of red and blue, balloons, the lot, and just one flag at the WHOLE of their end....Chelsea fans just as pathetic today! Embarrassing! So proud of our fans...class of their own!!

Yes, I agree with your summary, take Connor out and we lose our sparkle and threat, Eze, may get better with more exposure but on today's performance he is not a replacement for Gallagher!

But 11 plus the bench ? almost impossible That is what supporting a club like Palace is all about and probably the main reason most of us here are fans. Anybody in the world can 'support' Chelsea, Arsenal, Manure etc. Just flip on your cable TV and choose your team.
