Talking of 'perfect', I was well impressed by how the bench celebrated both goals; particularly Ray Lewington. No kissing though.

Absolutely wrong! Speroni in goal was a massively boost to the fans and in turn the players!! He has to start next game. He is palace through and through and team spirit is massive for a club like ours. We will never be world beaters but with spirit we can beat anyone on our day and yesterday proved it. And you say he had little to do? Did you not see his confidence in claiming crosses? What about that great save on the line? The defence trusted him aswell and that made them perform better. The OP is not getting carried away! We just beat Chelsea!! Spot on. Whilst his performance wasn't as crucial as Wilf's cannot deny that his return boosted the support who were fabulous throughout the game as the pictures and match comments show. Even the Beast was confident enough to try a cheeky back heel pass out at the death, lol. I'm sure Roy will have a quiet word with the players to get some feedback from the game.

So this is due to the Dutch chap who had no clue? You must be kidding!! Should have sorted us with a few points in our easy early season so we would not have been in this mess at the first place! Originally posted by Dangermouse
Speroni in goal lifted the crowd. I'm sorry, but it's true. The atmosphere definitely helped keep the players going and battling. I'm gonna have to look up the running stats for Cabaye, Macca, Luka, Schlupp and Andros. As for Wilf, he was gone after 60 and although Roy leaving him on worried me, it was the right move cos Chelsea were terrified of him and that meant Luiz had no effect coming through from deep.

Have to give it to Roy, there’s life left in the old boy. We played the counter attack perfectly and looked comfortable on the ball. It’s the best I’ve seen palace play in what seems like an absolute age. Chelsea were there for the taking, PVA could have had a hat trick! Yesterday’s atmosphere gave me goose bumps! It must be awesome to play in front of that crowd! Hopefully we can keep in touching distance of the bottom 6 and sign a goalie and pacy striker at Christmas. The movement up front was unbelievable, Benteke needs to take note! Wilf would of handed him a goal yesterday. Might struggle to get back into the team if we can play like that week in, week out.

There is no evidence that the defence trust him more - that is just an argument brought out by the WH-haters.

The biggest factor in what happened yesterday was Zaha. The confidence he brings to the lads, outweighs what Speroni does (only just). Opponents have to adjust when Zaha is around and it creates gaps. And he got the winning goal. Without him we would probably not have won the game.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

I agree Jules being in goal lifted the fans, but it was not a key part. In fact if someone had followed in for the ball he failed to hold it would have been a different story. But what I do agree with is that you don't change a winning team.
