Crystal Palace had 32 touches in the opposition box, nearly tripling Manchester City’s 12.

This was not a good thing.

Palace’s 32 touches came from 13 entries - showing a hesitance to shoot.

City’s 12 touches came from 8 entries - more decisive & quicker to react.

Crystal Palace nearly doubled the quality of chances that Manchester City generated

Removing the penalty, the Eagles generated over FIVE TIMES more xG than their opponents (2.08-0.4)

This match came down to clinical finishing vs squandering chances.

Simple as that

ESPN released their list of Top 50 American players, based on club form.

A familiar face is at number 1!

The article also includes some very complimentary words on Crystal Palace, including this excerpt:

“Palace is the best team any American is currently playing for”

For all his faults, he’ll forever be one of our own ❤️💙

Big congratulations to Wilf as he earned a return into the Côte d’Ivoire squad, and best of luck to Les Éléphants at AFCON 👏🏼👏🏼

Marc Guehi is 𝟐𝐧𝐝 amongst 𝑎𝑙𝑙 central defenders in Europe’s Top 5 Leagues for goal involvements.

His 4 G+A is only bested by Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, who has 5.

Guehi’s nose for goal & creative passing is icing on the cake - considering his defensive capabilities!

MATCH REVIEW: BRIGHTON (H)
An analysis of Crystal Palace matches using data.

The two rivals played to a scoreless draw in a cagey match that never really hit top gear.

It was an affair which saw some nuanced tactical changes from both sides. Let’s get into it!

Despite playing just 30 minutes, Yeremy Pino led Crystal Palace in:

-shots
-shot sequence involvements
-expected assists (xA)
-expected goal contributions (xG + xA)

He was also 2nd in passes into the pen. area & attempted Palace’s only shot on goal after the 8th minute.

Against Bournemouth, Crystal Palace registered 3.38 xG & 2.59 NPxG in the 2nd half ALONE

Both numbers are *top* of their respective metrics for an ENTIRE Premier League match this season 🤯

Palace’s full match xG of 4.25 ranks 2nd for any Top 5 European match this season

The heart in this Crystal Palace side.

A thorough dismantling of a VERY good side in the Second Half.

A goal against the run of play the only thing that kept Bournemouth sharing the points.

Oliver Glasner has elevated the mentality in SE25.

MATCH REVIEW: DYNAMO KYIV (A)

European nights for Crystal Palace: stuff dreams are made of.

Some waited generations for what happened in Lublin, as the Eagles kicked off the league phase of UEFA Conference League with an emphatic win.

Let’s see how it happened!

As Crystal Palace extends one streak, they’ll look to end another on the weekend.

Now 19 matches unbeaten, the Eagles will look to win away to Everton - something they haven’t done since September 2014.

Let’s hope one streak goes to 20 & the other ends at 11!

It’s probably fair to assume that a lot of Crystal Palace supporters don’t know much about their next opponents, Dynamo Kyiv.

Let’s change that!

We’ll dive into how they got to the league phase of UEFA Conference League, style of play, and key players to watch 👍🏽

Premier League Non-Penalty Expected Goal (NPxG) Leaders

Crystal Palace have 2 of the top 3, and Ismaila Sarr’s numbers are even more impressive when considering he’s missed two matches!

But Erling Haaland, wow.. he nearly has more NPxG than 2nd through 4th *combined* 🤯

MATCH REVIEW: LIVERPOOL (H)

It was a classic “tale of two halves” at Selhurst Park as the two remaining unbeatens in the Premier League squared off

Eddie Nketiah’s dramatic stoppage time winner increased the Eagles streak to 18 matches without a loss.

Let’s have a look!
