Hodgson was not only holding us back but Roy Ball was draining the life from us and killing any prospect of us ever enjoying watching our beloved team again

Can you imagine the new players we’ve just secured with Hodgson at the helm and not PV?! Can you imagine us putting in a performance like that under Hodgson?!

A sweet two fingers up to all those dull Roy ball lovers who kept telling us last season that keeping Hodgson as manager was the only way we were going to stay up! :p

Today was just simply fantastic!

That's what can happen when you set the team up properly give the players license to back themselves! Great game, fair result.

Zaha was on a mission today.
Kouyate was cutting everything out through the middle.

Eze, Olise, and Hughes still to come.

Great result. Imagine how good Palace will be when everyone is available:

Eze, Olise, Zaha, Gallagher, Hughes and Edouard.

Edouard can easily score 15 goals this year. Players like Zaha, Gallagher, Olise and Eze give him good service.

Mods any negative posts after that performance deserves a yellow

Yes, an upgrade on Ward is desperately needed but at least we’ve addressed some of the other positions in the recent transfer window.
It would just be incredible if we could get Ferguson fully fit and see him join our back line.

That was great, but let's treat it as the upper extent of the teams potential right now, and not the base expectation moving forward. There will be days every bit as bad as this one was good, but for the manager and players to get such a shot in the arm at this early stage of their work together will give them great confidence in what they are doing.
