Firpo did look better going forward a few times and let's hope he keeps improving. A bit dodgy defensively still.
never in doubt was it where's my finger nails. Still think we need a couple of bodies come Jan because this team is going no where fast up the table. Massive 3 points it really is.
Phillips… Lots of talk about me and the manager falling out, I don’t usually comment but I need to put this to bed as it’s been building up on social media, it’s not the case, I totally respect the manager, I’ll play anywhere for Bielsa if he tells me to play in goal I’d go in goal for him… Phillips repeated three times it’s nonsense, he wants the fans to know it’s nonsense, there haven’t even been words spoken.
Raphinha takes a penalty like that against a better keeper and he does not score. Forshaw MoM by a country mile. Phillips is worried over his performance’s and is seeing Forshaw involved in everything. I am sure I saw someone say Roberts had a descent game??? sorry can’t support that view, Gelhardt must be getting very frustrated, and it only takes a word in his ear and he maybe gone. All in all a poor display in front of a packed passionate full house, we need to build on this for Sunday and imperative we get another 3pts somehow.
For everyone who felt we were so poor tonight, it’s just been pointed out to the Palace manager Meslier made his first save in the 80th minute.
