[Albion] Recurring Zaha nightmare

[bardo]

21st February 2021. For 90 minutes a valiant packed Crystal Palace defence withstood a new Premier record 45 shots from the misfiring Brighton attackers, but at 92 minutes Hodgson, who had earlier said "he's still feeling it", put a fresh Zaha on from the bench to score a spectacular last-minute goal and give his side an unlikely victory.

Please tell me this isn't going to happen, and that instead it will be like 2 years ago when I took my then 9-year old granddaughter to her first ever game, to watch a stunning victory against CPFC, telling her "it's not always like this" (and thus it came to pass). Please let my dream come untrue!

Get a grip man

Mind - it could happen I suppose!

 

[RossyG]

It won’t happen.

If it does then you need to be burnt as a witch. But not until you’ve given me next week’s winning lottery numbers.

 

[BNthree]

Well you've only gone and jinxed us now!

 

[Sheebo]

He was instrumental in the reverse fixture this season. Controlled the game.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

100% this won’t happen...we are playing on 22nd February 2021! Sleep easy!

Don’t be daft!

This won’t happen.

He’ll come on in the 85thminute and get 2.

Is that the game they had 1 ( one) shot the entire game, and we had 20.
And their one shot was a penalty that wouldn’t have been given in the current climate.

No idea whether laughing boy will make an appearance or not but don`t think it matters as i`m convinced we will win comfortably . We are starting to see the rewards for our style and play , taking some of our chances is the next progression and i don`t see Palace being as lucky as Villa were .

We've taken 14 points from the last 10 games, if we keep up this form we could get another 19 points from the remaining fixtures. Obviously anything could happen but recent results will have us as firm favourites. UTA.

Again FFS grow up man

 

[Icy Gull]

I will have to question the Albion’s medical team if Palace can get Zaha over a hamstring injury so quickly. Our players take bloody months to get over them

Yep - don’t think he touched the ball apart from the pen!
