After the international break it sees us home to Liverpool. Like may, I will be full of optimism for this game, however in reality, Liverpool males Watford yesterday and it will be difficult to get anything from it. On the plus side, it’s impossible to fall back into the relegation zone (unless there is an 11 goal swing with stokes match against arsenal and ours!)after this match as West Ham are at home to Southampton. I really don’t know what I want from this game. A draw keeps them both in the mix but one of them winning will leave the other in serious trouble. West Ham’s game in hand is against Man Utd so let’s hope utd turn up!! Our 6 remaining games are all very winnable. I think we will be just fine now

West Brom are goosed.
Stoke are probably goosed.
Whoever loses the match between Wet Spam and Saints is properly in the s***.

Swansea and Toon aren't playing badly but apart from their result against the weed Huddersfield are having real trouble scoring goals - at home against us it took them 80 minutes to get a shot on target. So if any of those get a couple of results they're next in the firing line.

I don't suppose we'll get much change out of the bin dippers. Zaha's fantastic and their defence might wobble but Salah looks absolutely unplayable.

I pointed out on another thread the psychological boost being out of he relegation zone will be, especially as the result against Liverpool cannot push us back down there as Stam play Saints.

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

The recent games against the top teams were we picked up no points, but a degree of confidence that no-one spanked us, plus a great result yesterday has left me a lot more confident - Wilf makes such a difference.

Some say he was quiet yesterday but he is definitely the talisman, a huge outlet for the team to relieve pressure/put us on the front foot as Roy said in his post match press conference.

“ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ”

Do not underestimate the sakho effect. As important as wilf for me.
