I thought Richards was outstanding today. My player of the match.
Hughes was also very impressive, as was Wharton..
Seems harsh to not mention any of the scorers,or Munez, who caused the own goal, but they were so impressive.

A glorious day beating a club I loathe 5-2. Should have been 8.
Eze, Olise and Mateta brilliant.
What was Henderson doing for their second goal? You can laugh at 5-1
I guess we are safe now, all but mathematically.
Now 4500/1 - oddschecker..!!
Flip flops on..!!
Won’t hear from Willo for the rest of the season - another failed prediction of doom..!!

First half we were immense. Shame to lose Wharton. Hope he is not too bad. Dont ever recall seeing football like that. The Eze goal just WOW.

Bit of a concern that Wharton went off injured.

Richards was immense today, great timing his return with us losing Lerma. I don’t know how to single players out in the performance, they were all fantastic.
Clyne as a CB has been great these past two games.
Hopefully Wharton was just bruised as he is critical to our creative side and hughes is like a new player sitting alongside him, they work great together.
I hope Mateta stays this summer, he can really push on next season. Imagine this side with Dacoure/Guehi/Lerma all available as well. My wife and I said we can remember the last time we were so relaxed in the final 10mins haha

How they ended up with 2 and us only 5 I’ve no idea. That first half hour was the best I’ve seen any team play at Selhurst let alone Palace.
It’s so unfamiliar it almost feels unnerving. I am reluctant to even talk about ‘reinforcements’ as the whole team just looks very much a representation of Glasner and his system now. Forget Guehi/Eze/Olise, we could probably sell Hughes and Clyne for a £100mil based on that, they were both superb today. Was sublime to witness.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

It's another thing to torture cats(which Zouma has done successfully, not receiving the right punishment, especially from the wetspam officials) and its a different case to try and mark Eze. No further comments!

'Nicholas 91' Err, that will be Henderson-no saves to makes yet manages to concede 2. Fair play, very good performance at Anfield last week, but inspires no confidence.

Sadly wasn't able to watch the game today but watched the highlights and we simply dominated. Fantastic performance!!
Eze and Olise are glorious to watch. If we can hold onto them for just 1 more season, get a full year of Glasner ball with them, I'll be a happy man. Mateta goals also brilliant.
How did Richards play on his return?

If you want a laugh go to Knees Up Mother Brown the West Ham forum.
Before the game it was all doom and gloom none of them thought they would win today and they hate Moyes and Sullivan. Normally you have a few bullish fans "We're going turn this lot over etc"
The Match day thread is hilarious you have to feel for the board moderator. Every so often I would read this "This post has been removed for breaking forum rules", swearing I guess. Anyway when they went 3-0 down post after post was removed the poor moderator must have had a tough afternoon probably worked harder than the players.
Anyway good to see we are not the only ones that moan about their team.

No pleasing some people. The nice people at VAR gave them one goal and Henderson gave them another and still not happy. Did they want it to be 8-0 instead which is what they deserved?

The most amazing thing about today was 4 goals in one half up our end, it usually takes a few months to see that many goals up the Whitehorse, not half an hour
Fair play to the spammers fans though for taking that first half on the chin with some good natured gallows humour chanting

Very funny that you don’t hear from the Mateta moaners anymore.. he has been sensational .. always been a fan but his improvement under Ollie’s been amazing.. top man.. looking forward to him scoring many more...always been a fan...

Any game in which Ward-Prowse gets stuffed is enjoyable but Palace doing it is the glaze on the cherry on top. It's very satisfying to beat WHam like that - the name Ade Coker still gives me shivers.

I think the word is ‘fickle’ nothing unusual from football fans, we all do it, myself included, I expect they’ll be a few back on Henderson’s case now, good last week, poor this week

Today was an absolute joy to watch. Well done to the players, the management and coaches and everyone else involved. Glasner has put the enjoyment back into watching us play.

I’m well aware Swindy, there are also a few other things that could be pointed out however I’m reluctant to moan at all. I’ve done enough of that this season let alone others.
Wonderful win, PL football next season and concrete evidence to justify optimism for the future.
