Hilarious. Palace lost their best players this summer, clearly aren’t the same team as they were last season — a mid-table team, mind you — and you’re comparing our first 45min to City?
In all honestly, we played well in the first half and we should have been ahead, no doubt. I’ve always said that Eriksen is excellent against mid table and relegation teams, he’s great at forward distribution, but he gets overrun by the Odegaards and Silvas, hell, even decently attacking midfields like McGinn and Gumaires at Newcastle. You really can’t start him against those sides.
The 45min is encouraging, but a staring in the mirror question: can Ten Hag deliver a PL title for us, even if given years to complete the task? Honestly, I don’t think so and I think just about every supports knows this as an incontrovertible truth.
