I think you’ll see a lot of rotation for Palace. Could see Eze, Madueke, Martinelli, Lewis-Skelly all start. For now it’s get this across the line and this is who he trusts defensively

Don’t agree with “a point gives us nothing”, these seasons are marathons and with the deepest squad in the league, I believe it will be the consistency that tells this year

Don’t get me wrong very happy to see them out but in its current format the league phase really doesn’t hold that much weight. Villa finished 8th and draw 24th Brugge

Reseeded they would have got Brugge. Obviously you can still get a very tough team with reseeding but I just think it promotes being the best in the league format

I do think the new league format should place more value on finishing higher. Teams should be reseeded after the playoff round, 1 vs lowest seed and so on

Hatred, Phil, hatred. That’s the only thing that carried them through that 2nd half.
