I don't mean to start a Mateta moan but that was £10 million wasted which could have gone to buy a better but more expensive player. He is just too immobile, worse than Benteke. The final cross, from Ward I think, just needed someone to move towards it.

I only saw the first half , fell asleep for the second (true story).
Do our strikers practice scoring goals in training?
Eduard put a lovely ball through to ayew, one on one and he can’t even hit the target, you’d get slated for that in Sunday football. We’ve got 4/5 strikers that are all reasonable (none any better that reasonable) at the areas of play that don’t include scoring goals. At actually finishing chances they are all f*cking useless.
Actually every Palace player (Gallagher is a Chelsea player) , are a joke in front of goal. The 2 big lumps at the back are pony at attacking the ball , no point us even getting corners.
The midfield just smash the ball over the bar from the edge of the box and when the forwards miss they don’t even look surprised.
If that chance fell to Antonio, Bowen etc they win one nil.
The same people on here arguing for benteke, mateta etc, all your favourites are f*cking wa*kers and shouldn’t be called forwards.

Take conors goals and assists away and we’d be bottom 3.
I started this post quite reasonable but have got more wound up as I have been typing.
They are f***i*g sh*t in front of goal though aren’t they.

I thought Wardy did well.

He will still be at it next year he defies time.

Apart from that it's good to have a nap through a Palace game.

My kip was nearly ruined by Mateta's late appearance.

The lack of desire was terrific.
