Crystal Palace Build Up

[ChesterDave]

Danny Murphy is a knob. And a ****ing midget.

[Mark79]

Have we ever had a player who scored in more games in a season?

He is scoring every game

Its unreal.

Season Player Goals Scored
1917/18 Thomas Bennett 48
1983/84 Ian Rush 47
1961/62 Roger Hunt 42
1986/87 Ian Rush 40
2017/18 Mohamed Salah 37
1995/96 Robbie Fowler 36
2007/08 Fernando Torres 33
1954/56 John Evans 33
1955/56 Billy Liddell 32
1928/29 Gordon Hodgson 32
1902/03 Sam Raybould 32

He's in some pretty impressive company

It’s the actual number of games also though? Someone posted that he had scored in 21 of our league games. That’s incredible.

Ultimately every stat about him is nuts.

...and this is his tricky settling in season.

83/84 Rush scored 47 in 65 games in all competitions

This season Salah has scored 37 in 41 games in all competitions.

That’s not what Buzzo is asking, Spud

Don’t know about Rush or the others, but Salah has scored in 28 different games in all comps this season.

21 PL
6 CL
1 FA Cup

Calm down for ****s sake

[Nicey]

Souey owned Gallagher there. Beautiful. Good to have someone battling for us and telling the truth in fairness!

That man ****s ice cubes.

The referee was terrible as usual, got influenced by the crowd for the first yellow and then obviously should have sent Mane off for the 2nd, useless and how classy was Sako demanding a card for Mane. We rode our luck their somewhat but we wanted it more. Palace are a very decent footballing side, there is no way they are going down. Shame none of our rivals have to play them.

[RedReet]

I missed Spurs 'analysis' because I was over at match. From what I picked up, Kane wasn't offside because Lovren had last touch. For Mané's offside goal yesterday, Firmino's header ricocheted off defenders head into Mané's path, so why was that any different?

[Norbs]

Bit of a minefield but supposedly because Mane was in that offside position when VVD headed it and something to do with intent. **** knows

[RedReet]

Palace have shown some guts which I didn’t expect once we equalized but Matip and Henderson and no where near good enough to be first 11 players

Thought Matip played quite well yesterday, as he did against Watford.

Henderson has been ****ing dire - one good game in five is not good enough from a captain.

Henderson is so ****. For our captain he is such a pussy

After back to back defeats against the mighty West Brom and Swansea, Henderson has come back into the side and we've won every game, bar being robbed in the draw against Spurs. Our only defeat in that run was to United and guess what, Henderson was absent again.

That run also included the biggest ever away win by any English team in Europe, plus an impressive 5-0 against Watford.

Anyway, won't make a jot of difference, win, loss or draw, Henderson is still **** and we#ll have to hear the same drivel from fans during and after every game.

He's totally unappreciated

interesting observation.

I agree, His job within the team is not a glamorous one, which is probably why he doesn’t get any plaudits - but he is very effective in giving us control.

He gets grief about his captaincy also, but I think he is a great captain. We have good discipline a great work ethic and desire. He’s a model pro.

That’s it exactly. That level of consistency is insane.

I do wonder how that stacks up against the likes of Rush/Fowler/Torres/Suarez?

Not sure about Rush, but only 2 other players have scored in 21 games in PL era (Ronaldo, Van Persie) so that puts him ahead of the other 3.

I like Henderson and think the stats prove we're better with him but I don't think he's a good leader and would prefer VVD to be promoted to captain. Hendo doesn't seem to inspire or movitate a change in the side when it's needed.

Still want him in next season's midfield alongside Keita and the Ox. He suits our style

So for me to get to where we want to get to neither Matip or Henderson are good enough to be fist team players. Matip as a 3rd choice CB is fine and Hendo as the back up CM is also fine.

Matip is too weak and too passive to be considered top class - he is also prone to lapses in concentration.

Hendo - I don’t care if he is captain or not but again he just isn’t good enough on the ball for me and the next time he does that **** ‘whipped ball’ to the back post (which is usually badly under or over hit) he should be fined. No doubt he’ll do a worldwide v City for an assist.
