Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

Have we ever won with Olsen in goal?

[Somniloquism]

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

What? We will beat them handsomely and most of their players won't be on the pitch?

[Sexual Ealing]

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

Course they will.

Commentator is absolutely loving this, isn't he.

Fair play. 

It's nice when the small clubs can enjoy a day like this. Maybe they'll bring out a special commemorative video for him.

[robleflaneur]

Should have started with:
Martinez,Cash,Mings,Torres,Moreno
Tielemans,Kamara,Buendia ,Ramsey
   Bailey,Rogers.
And bring on Zaniolo for the last 20.
  Oh...

Fucking ridiculous this is: glad I didn't pay good money to go to the game!

I doubt those who actually paid and are in the ground care that much.

We were always going to rest players today. It's nothing like Moscow 2009 for instance.

My main concern is that Pau, Bailey and Youri haven't done long-term damage playign through injury in recent months

Bailey's got the summer off as he doesn't want to play for Jamaica currently so two months should get him right.

We'll see Pau and Tielemans in the Euros I'm sure.

Also credit to Zaniolo for risking himself in the last month and now he's out of the Euros but that's amazing commitment from someone who probably knew he wasn't going to join us permanently. Shows the spirit in the squad to get us over the line and that shouldn't be forgotten whatever the final score of today is.

Hibs x 2, Legia, Burnley. That's it. Well, this season.

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

They are going to lose two of their front three.. absolutely no chance.

[VillaTim]

Have we ever won with Olsen in goal?

Spurs A 2-0 last season .

[not3bad]

Have we ever won with Olsen in goal?

Yes, beat Spurs 2-0 away with him in goal last season.

[SaddVillan]

Get the impression that we're huffing and puffing in a disjointed way, whereas when they move forward the supporting players know where to move and the guy on the ball knows when and where to play it.

Running on fumes for the likes of McGinn, Luiz and Duran has reverted to the norm.

We're on the beach. Out of energy, out of ideas and out of luck - courtesy of some shite refereeing. Nothing new there.

[Villan82]

Have we ever won with Olsen in goal?

At Spurs away for a start.

[Bad English]

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

Course they will.

Yes, they will get 5 put past them by Ollie.

[Monty]

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

Only a yellow. Get him off.

But he is our best midfielder.... as long as someone else is playing alongside him, he is given more time on the ball, he has better players behind him and the year ends in three.

Olsen should not be our second keeper. Not that he is to blame for everything but still , he dosent look any good at all. -Shows how bad we can be if we dont have players that are able to fill the roles in the system; Emery should make so that we dont will have such bad performances next season.
