He has been at Palace for 2. He should be the penalty taker

Interesting Goalkeeper choice?!

Where is Sam Johnstone?

I did not see him on the bench

The Alvinegro perspective of Zaha (from their chants):

'Jeffinho é melhor que o Zaha' Jeffinho's better than Zaha.
'Ei, Zaha, vai tomar no <...>' Hey, Zaha, will take it in the ..(ahem)...

I never read into Brazilian chants towards opponents,though, considering this is how their Ultras handle a run of poor form by their own players: [Link]
( Their song is Meu Sangue Ferve por Você My Blood Boils for you
(Potentially painful)): [Link] )

IMO, Tayo's defensive mindset & capability has improved tremendously since the Coventry fiasco. With his crossing capability and his raw speed providing left channel width all the way to the corner as seen today, on top of the ongoing defensive polishing being performed by Paddy et al, might he not be ready for some first team 'late-on offensive spark' duty?

JWM - I love his passing.
Kofi Balmer - doesn't he have a long-throw in his arsenal? Or is it Chris Richards? One does, and as I recall, it is pretty good.

We are very soon to have a tranche, with seemingly more in the pipeline, of quality talent bursting forth from the academy, begging the questions of who to keep, sell, or loan.

Bah, all PV has to do is have a classroom style gathering and ask who wants or likes or fancies themselves at taking penalties. Then a training session whereby those who put their hands up get their chance to prove thmeselves. Should sort the wheat from the chaff, and Wilf is certainly the chaff when it comes to penalty taking.
