On the second occasion (and possibly the first) he didn't have a pass option as no-one moved into space for him and he was running out of options. It seemed that his teammates were stood transfixed by his trickery instead of giving him options.

Just thought I'd mention as a side note on here that Garth Crooks has put Diaz in his 'team of the week' but not one Palace player.

Utter c**t that geezer (Crooks) can't stand him and apologies for any raised blood pressures!!!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Does anyone like Crooks? It seems he is universally disliked by fans of all clubs. It's not his opinions I think, but the way he delivers them like the know-it-all kid in class. When he picks a Palace player it is never our best player, just the one who scored. Andersen absolutely bossed Nunez and I don't believe there can have many more dominant displays than his this game week.

Yep, have noticed that.

Enraging for the football purist but also for fans as he quite clearly does not watch the matches or base his choices on anything other than what anyone can google or ascertain from MoTD!

I'd like to know what he is paid and offer my services. Sounds like hard graft actually sitting around watching football and offering some opinion (which GC does not) however I think I'm up to it.

Got to be somewhat pleased with last night's 1-1 result. Zaha's goal emanated from clinical counterattack, pass and finish and yet as proliferate as Liverpool prove to be , so were we at times. What concerns me from both Arsenal and Liverpool matches is how often Palace hold possession for too long before being caught out rather than measured control and pass. Too many of the passes that are made also fail to reach intended players. Zaha's goal last night prove what is possible against top opposition when all of the parts in play come together with pace and accuracy.

PV said post match that what really pleased him was how our players who love to have the ball did not get frustrated when they were out of possession - he mentioned, Wilf, Ayew and Eze, but I think he was really talking about Eze who was so much sharper and purposeful when out of possession than he was against Arsenal - and his trickery was there for all to see, there were those occasions when he didn't have an option and his pass went stray, which is forgivable, on one or two other occasions he tried to hold on to the ball a bit too long after a chance came to release it and we lost possession, but that was minor compared to all the positives - he was superb and is clearly improving. I thought the game plan and execution was brilliant - my sky high opinion of PV has gone up another notch. PV is improving the players individually as well, not just Eze, Schlupp is now playing with much more positional sense.
