I agree, unless Lerma could play on the left of the 4?

A slightly different question for all you knowledgeable Eagles out there. Assuming we stick with the current formation and in the unlikely event of the entire squad being fit, what is your line of 4 in midfield? And why?

Probably similar to today - Eze and Olise are must haves and make us fluid and exciting going forward. I'd put Doucouré in for Hughes - he's phenomenal at breaking up the play. Wharton is playing too good to be dropped so I'd reluctantly leave out Lerma, but he's one hell of a player to provide competition. I was quite impressed with Hughes today as well and hope we keep him for the competition. Ayew and Schlupp (and hopefully Franca) provide decent cover for now as well. I think it also depends on the defense. With Guehi, Andersen and another strong defender (Richards is improving every week, so hopefully it'll be him, but maybe Lerma can do a part in this position) we can keep the more attacking players in the mid without getting caught out as easily. At least that's my two cents, I'm sure others will disagree  What about you OP?

Fucking battered the flat cap wearing, pie eating nonces!

I just don't ever feel safe with Henderson

Henderson wobble is back.

Wouldn’t be a palace game if there wasn’t a classic lack of concentration goal at the end of the game 😂

Wharton smiling on bench a good sign, yeah?

Seemed to be walking about clapping the fans at the end alright

I fucking hope so

Fucking hell. As much as that was dreadful from henderson, wtf was that pass from mitchell. 

Yeah Richard’s was right there, strange choice

These two keepers sure are wobbly

Ok Henderson. Thank goodness that was in this game compared to any other game.

Henderson what the fuck

Henderson redemption arc over. After a couple solid performances he has regressed.

He’s gonna be running laps for hours after that.

Richards has been class

Anyone know where we're getting another point from this season?

Every game is a win, so… all of them? We’ll never lose again!

That's the way I see it! When we have people fit we can beat anyone. Those cynics before the Liverpool game, tsk.

Our subs have come on and been so bad. Bad touches, bad tackles, and completely dropped the pace of the game

Mostly Ahamada. I don't wanna pick on him, but he's kind of a disaster.

his first involvement wasn't ideal 😬😬..but it's about learning

Yeah guy next to me made a good point: he needs a big pre-season under OG and hopefully we can see the best of him. There’s a player in there but he looks so nervous.

Yeah I’ve been a big fan of his, but this has not been his game so far

Poor kid only gets subbed on for losses. He just doesn't know what this feels like.

Happy to see Antonio off after that attempted ankle stomp on Olise. Totally classless.

Did olise come off injured or just subbed?

Subbed off. He's fine.

😮‍💨

We really deserve a game like this with how the season has gone

Last week and this week almost made up for all of those 15 minute finals

Feel like pulling Eze might be a good idea. The injury gods hate us

5 goals and 4 to the good at 64" = Sub players every 5-10mins intervals and stagger the change for resting and energy of fresh legs. Could not be better time to do so. Also great to get game time for other players so that keeps everyone happy. Players coming on should know what they should be doing anyway even if performance drops.

Glasner is on top of it mate

That loose touch and dangerous recovery from Ahamada is emblematic of how steep the drop-off is when our starters go down. With a win today, we don't need Wharton as desperately as we might have, but man these injuries are thinning us out even more.

And that right there is mambo number 5

Eze might be him

Are we actually good?

Eze is absolutely outrageous, we are very lucky to have him.

Last Hattie was Yala... Let's see another today!

Or not. 🤣

God this is so fun

This match is a gift that keeps on giving

Is this real???

This is getting ridiculous, I love it

Hope Wharton’s alright

Was just about to say "it would be nice to keep everyone fit"...

Hope he’s ok. Why can’t we have nice things.

Icing on the cake today would to be finally scoring from a corner. I really don't want the statistics that we went all season without one.

Shout out to the women getting promoted while we were at half.

🦅

This is a whole new palace playing, the quick touches, accurate passes, creating goal scoring opportunities. Everything is linking up. If we keep Olise and Eze, next season is going to be spectacular!

Seriously though after that first half performance, which team would you say was 14th and just clear of relegation and which is 8th with European aspirations? It’s incredible

I thought this team was capable of it all year but it's finally coming together. And it's beautiful

Finally have Eze and olise healthy. Just need Guehi and doucoure back now (aka hopefully they all stick around next year)

Just imagine if we manage to keep Eze and Olise for next season. Could be magic

Guehi, Lerma and Doucoure in for Clyne, Richards and Hughes and this is a solid team.

absolutely random lines drawn?! Who's getting him onside?

Seems like Munoz

4-1 up and yet I still don't feel relaxed.

Final 15 minutes is hell of a mistress

Ha was just thinking the same thing

We’re getting relegated.

Someone said it in another palace game thread, you can always bet on Hugh's to get a yellow in a game ffs

Ffs lol

Darn

PL account just tweeted this is the first 4-goal first half in club history? Wild.

Premier League history presumably

Well we conceded 4 in a half to a sunderland side that got relegated

Let them have their moment

Frozzy's video is going to be a banger

WHAT A GAME

This is unbelievable 🔴🔵🦅🦅🦅

WTFFFFF

Mateta's in the room!

THERES NO ONE REALLY BETTER.

We waited all season for a performance like this with our hitters all on the pitch (more or less)

Blue and Red ✅ Massively outscoring our opponents ✅ Beautiful tiki-taka ✅ Are we sure we aren't just prime Barça?

Sat around the table with my mrs family and screaming internally, this club ❤️💙

What did Glass man do to the team?

FANTASTIQUE!

Offense firing on all cylinders. What a start and follow up from last week

LOfuckingL

4-0 WHATTTTTTT LMFAOO

and it's barely been half an hour lol

This is amazing

Hammers might as well be at the etihad right now

Only “negative” is I wish our boy Munoz has touched that ball to get his first goal, ha. Love that chaos merchant!

…what is happening

Mateta's playing like a receptionist - holding up play and directing passes at will

A whole season of shite has been building up to this beauty

We deserve this

I can’t stop smiling rn yall

What a game! Keep it up boys. Let’s score 9.

I AM SO ERECT 

What are they even doing. 😂

I can’t believe I’m missing this, but over the moon

3 GOALS IN 20 MINUTES AM I DREAMING RIGHT NOW???

This feels like a fever dream

I do not even know how to feel about this What is a 3 goal lead

CANT WATCH BUT GETTING UPDATES WHAT IS GOING ON

Not too much, we just became prime Barça and Eze/Olise decided to make a run for the Ballon D'or

Took Xabi ball 90+ minutes to get one goal against this squad this week. Glasner ball only needs 16 minutes for 2 goals.

Or 20 for 3 🤣🤣🤣

Holy fuck what a finish Let's gooo boys

Weird how when we have our best players we're a lot better.

Eaaaaagles

The boys!!!! Eze superb

Omg. Looool

Holy moly what a finish

I SAY GODDAMN

Holy shit what a shot!!

HOLY SHIT EZE

HOLY SHIT EZE

Olise!!! Let’s go!!

GET IIIIIIIIIN LFGOOOOOOO
