    Palace Player ratings and reaction

    Any win is a good win but made that harder than it had to be. Looked a little toothless in attack, other than a couple of decent spells.

    Ramsdale - 6
    Invited unnecessary pressure at times but made the saves he needed to and should've made.

    Zinchenko - 5
    Ok. But sloppy at times and looked pretty weak defensively at times.
    Gabriel - 7
    Solid overall. Can be a little panicky in possession.
    Saliba - 8.5
    Pretty fuckin impressive. Solid, good positioning mostly and neat on the ball.
    White - 5
    He wasn't very good. Zaha is a tough opponent though but White just never fills me with confidence.

    Partey - 7.5
    Very good. Slows entire attacks of theirs down at times. Good with the ball trying to play through the lines, occasionally.
    Xhaka - 5
    He's just not very good. Nothing egregious and any other player doesn't get booked for that dive.
    Odegaard - 6
    Never really got into the game.

    Martinelli - 5
    Missed an absolute sitter and other than his goal that he barely squeezed in was pretty shite.
    Jesus - 6
    Fine. Worked hard, which is the minimum requirement. Made a couple of good runs that weren't found.
    Saka - 3
    Standard Saka performance. Where chances went to die. So slow to get the ball away. Gave it away almost constantly and even the OG came from his abysmal crossing not even beating the first man.


    Very strange no subs were made until so late.

    Eddie - Hench/10
    The utter fuck?

    We’ve got super Mik Arteta!!
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Mate you really need to get over your dislike of Saka, it’s weird.

    No dislike of him. Just objective observation. He was markedly the worst player on the pitch again and I don't think anyone can honestly dispute that. He gave the ball away or wasted a chance on around 80% of his possessions.

    Him and Martinelli are a real problem and why the te still struggles to create chances. They're both so one dimensional and wasteful.

    A winger is the no1 priority and I think that point was boldly underlined today.

    Saka does hold onto the ball too long in attacking moments for sure, but he's better than a 3

    Ramsdale 6 - Good shot stopping but he’s becoming a bit temperamental in terms of his footwork and creating a few hairy moments


    Ben White 6 - Good cover for other defenders but Zaha beasted him a bit at times


    William Saliba 8 - Unbelievable confidence, just doesn’t panic and is so composed


    Gabriel - 6 - Did ok at times but also bit concerning in some of his decision making


    Xhaka 4 - Utter cunt as usual, does nothing to link defence and attack and he’s the key reason teams are able to push us back


    Partey 7 - Couldn’t impose himself in a way that gave us control of the game but solid defensively


    Zinchenko 6 - Did ok getting forward at first but as game went on found Ayew too hard to deal with



    Odegaard 5 - Shows a bit of promise but then ultimately makes the wrong decision and then drifts out of the game. Should have been substituted much earlier


    Martinelli 6 - Gets the 6 because he scored, missed when it was easier to score earlier


    Gabriel J 6 - Is a nuisance but after thirty minutes feeding off scraps, couple of times did try and make things happen


    Saka 6 - Not his best game, but to be honest for much of the second half he was our only attacking outlet….got lucky with fluke own goal. Felt he did track back to help deal with Zaha. But don’t think he should be playing as wing back


    Subs - Not worth giving them a rating as weren’t on long enough

    3 points, clean sheet and a tricky away game out of the way. Wasn’t very polished but can’t be arsed over analysing one game in.

    On we go.

    That’ll do nicely thanks. The inevitable loss, became the unconvincing win. True to form, we thought we’d lose, but we won badly and no good can come from it.

    Last year we lost and that was much better. At least we showed our true colours.
