Good points, Ronnie lad. I think Fab's due back after the international break, hopefully Thiago. Im sure Jurgen will pick and chose the games to play Williams or Phillips at centre back giving Joe or Joel a rest.

Yeah absolutely huge that Fab is back Docker. You could make a strong case that he is our second most important pound for pound player after Ali because he can cover 3-4 positions to a top class level. We have a team of world class players but I can't think of many with that skillset.

 

Williams and Philips have shown they can fill in and do well. I mean I would have been concerned about them playing yesterday because of their relative experience, but they have shown that they could be real options this season. The gametime that they could get with us pretty much through in Europe and in some home games in the league over the coming months will stand to them and hopefully us as a team moving forward. More importantly, it means Joe or Joel can be rested on a regular basis.

Palace have been a hard team to deal with recently, but I believe home / away does not mean anything right now without fans inside.

Heard this said a few times, but we have beaten them the last 5 times we have played them away.

I thought Alli was better than decent yesterday. Terrible conditions for a keeper having to kick the ball in that pissing down rain never mind catch it. He held everything he needed to and only one or two kicks were a little wayward.

 

Be thankful Adrian wasnt in goal.

This. With Adrian in goal it would’ve been one point less to us and two more for City.
