Palace vs FA Cup Winners. Saturday 3pm.

Players carrying Wenger again. He's set out the team EXACTLY wrong to face this type of opponent.

Wilshere could help in the second half. Sit him in front of Coq, Welbz off, move Ozil wide. Would give us more bite in the middle without sacrificing Santi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh, and a rare shout out to the ref. Think he's actually done pretty well today so far.
Not had loads to do but he's kept the game flowing and I have no complaints about his decisions.

He's been fair - mostly because he doesn't know what's going on.

Finally equalling Southampton's Goal difference. We really haven't had a fir control of the game in the middle throughout but at least we've taken our chances.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck is a bit of a Bambi but he certainly makes a nuisance of himself and gets involved and makes things happen. Giroud is becoming more of a poacher and spends long periods strolling around.

I'm struggling to accept this is the way we play football now, pubbing it with the rest of them.

If you forget some of the comfortable victories and good performances recently, this is a good point.

[Niall_Quinn]

He's also on par with Drogba in terms of goals at this stage of hi PL career.

[adzzzbatch]

Good for him, hope he can score more. I'm sorry I just don't rate him as highly as other fans do.

[Master Splinter]

Welbz has been the instigator for both goals, but won't get any assists.
