Christ. We're going purely by stats now are we? Why even bother playing games, we can just look at who has the highest rating like a game of top trumps.

KG has been in the starting XI more often than not under every manager he has had at Palace. People who work with the players every day and know more about football than anyone on this site have decided he is a valuable player and worth his place.

Personally, I do think the signing of Ledley will see his contribution get a bit smaller, but writing off a player who has been so key in some of our biggest results of the last three years is ridiculous.

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

He's poor , gives you absolutely nothing going forward but that's just my opinion !! He near enough sits in the back 4 and his pass completion must be woeful also ..I understand he is a different player to Williams , bannan and Ledley ..but we have Jedi who plays that shielding role in front of the back 4 , do we really need 2 players doing the same job !! Like I said just my opinion ,

If O'Keefe was the star performer, why did Freedman, Holloway, Millen and Pulis all overlook him in favour of KG?

If you want to pick out individual games how about the play semi second leg where KG was a colossus, or Everton at home?

SOK looks great when he comes on, harrying and chasing the ball down but positionally he is not as good as KG. That is why he gets picked, because he is nearly always in the right place at the right time and is a great partner for Jedinak. His positioning means Jedinak can come out and make those interceptions and challenges, knowing that KG is still there in behind him. Plus he's also physically more imposing than O'Keefe.

Moronic post. KG played at Brighton away which was arguably tougher than Wembley, then went off injured after what ten minutes?!

Stats don't lie?! You're old enough and ugly enough to know that's bollocks, Hoof.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

I just get the feeling that Jedinak is more comfortable playing alongside KG than other DMs and this raises Jedinak's game going forward to the benefit of the whole team. Regardless of the stats, if I'm right that must have a bearing on the importance of KG.

Goodness is what you do. Not who you pray to.
