You can see The Batsman is a player who has confidence in his own ability. The way he called for the ball to be played at his feet despite being surrounded by Fulham players.
A good end to the season once again I feel.

To be clear... my suggestion wasn’t intended to be ‘anti Wilf’ but conjecture about how we might look should he (sadly in my view) leave us. Whether he’s our greatest ever is irrelevant.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Fantastic work from Batshuayi for the goal and good poaching instincts from Schlupp. Benteke looking better since his return, great effort and technique when he hit the bar, so unlucky. I thought Ayew also looking a bit better today too.

Defensively solid and strong and we really restricted Fulham’s chances despite their greater share of the possession. The boys really do seem more assured and composed with Guaita between the posts.

Thought PVA gave it away too often and too cheaply and Sakho should’ve scored from yet another clear header. That’s 3 now this season with the other two against Newcastle home and Saints away costing us two wins and 4 points! Thankfully not the main factor in the result today.

Ultimately not a great game to watch but it’s points that matter at the moment so well done Palace, a well ground out win and with several positives to take heart from too.

Cardiff 1 up. Could be an even bigger win today.

Sadly his game is really off. Don't know whether it an an attitude thing, lack of protection from refs, or just mismanagement of his vast talent. Would love to see him come back to his best.
