Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Monty]

Surprised by some of the reactions on here to that, I thought it was our best half against these dream-mashers in years.

I think he will go for it in the second half. Sancho off for Malen

Something very gravelly almost dirty old manish about this commentator!

His pronunciation of Camera and Dinya is boiling my piss. It's Kamara and Dean you absolute fucking tit.

His pronunciation is pretty much correct. He maybe overdoes the "e" on the end of Digne just very slightly, but that's typical of a southern French accent.

When he signed from Everton they did a piece with him at Bodymoor Heath and asked him to clear up the debate about the pronunciation of his name. In perfect English he said:  it's simple "Luca Dean" as in Dean Smith.

Yep, that's how he always says it - https://youtu.be/ScNovNeQUU4?si=tRJ0wq6of3JIQF4i&t=300

Two more strong athletic talk defenders off the Palace production line making life pretty difficult for our strikers. What do they feed them on down there?

Oh dear - winning on xG, that doesn’t bode well

The second one to me looked like a handballl.

Yeah , Arsenal,Man city,Liverpool,Chelsea get a pen for that.

Sancho (piss) poor again. Emery won't do it at ht but I'd be thinking of Malen for him on 55 mins. Rogers looked better last 15 mins. Team looks a bit 'meh' all over the pitch.

Two clear handballs, both could easily have been given but as its us, nope.

[Sexual Ealing]

I rate Glasner as a coach but there is no way a team as limited as Palace should be able to go toe-to-toe with us.

Is this an attempt to be quoted on their forum after they win?!

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd bring Sancho on.

Yes, we have dominated possession, but It’s also their B team remember.

I just want us to show a bit more urgency in their final 3rd. We will break them soon.

Or that has utterly failed to pay heed to the recent past.

Apparently,we've not been awarded a penalty all season. Looks as if Madeley is under instructions that it stays that way.

[PeterWithesShin]

I assume he means their match squad today rather than Palace as a club.

[Goldie.7]

I'd take a point here tbh. They aren't falling for our bait press and nothing good is going to happen until Will "20 fouls allowed before getting booked" Hughes is receives a card.

Put Sancho on the drum and someone who gives a shit on the right.
