As I see it we have 2 challenges 1. Staying Up - that job has nearly been achieved 2. Hanging on to Raphinha. Would we refuse a £50 million or so bid? He is beginning to look like a superstar in the making
Another thoroughly, in the main, professional performance. Some truly astonishing misses from Bamford and Struijk made it much tighter than Palace deserved, some very leggy passing from Ayling, and a pitch that is having far too much influence were the negatives, but far, far outweighed by the positives of a superb team performance, players doing their job (Eze pretty much redundant as Dallas, and others, got up close and personal), our attacking passing, with Raphinha outstanding. Oh, and 3 more points, mean we make the top half of the table. Bamford’s post match Sky interview was very open, articulate and funny too - Whether his ‘slip of the tongue’ about being amazed a bigger club hadn’t taken a punt on Raphinha, before correcting himself by saying ‘a more established Prem team’, will get him into bother who knows?
