Very pleased with how the team played tonight.
They looked great, albeit against a very poor side.

There's going to be a lot of wet beds in not London, throughout January.

Hurts to say it, but his goal was superb
Not too different to Maupay's but Neal was on the end of a great run and one of the best crosses you'll ever see.

The sooner Zaha leaves Palace the better. They are such a one man team.

No Premier League team relies on a single player more than Palace do with Zaha.

They'll be fighting relegation as soon as he leaves.

And he will.

I was a bit disappointed with Montoya.

It was an exact repeat of the move he had done a few minutes earlier that Montoya had fallen for.

He had to cover Zaha coming inside. I’m not going to blame Montoya for that. I thought he was brilliant tonight in maybe his best game for us. As I type Carragher is saying roughly the same.

I agree apart from that, he played very well.

What made it worse for me was that he had fallen for it a few minutes before.

That is harsh, Montoya basically forced him on to his weaker foot, not much you can do about that finish.

Other than Zaha we were streets ahead of them in every single department.

I know but it’s hard to stop Zaha when he starts his in/out move.

Montoya was positioned perfectly and stopped him going onto his right.

You don’t stop those from that distance.

I thought Montoya played brilliantly tonight personally


Watching Zaha post match interview this is clearly a man that’s had enough and wants out

I think you've got to give Zaha credit. How many players can shape to go right, cut back and lash the ball home on their left like that?

Montoya had a decent game, really getting forward and kept Zaha quiet for three quarters of the match.

I agree he had a decent game apart from that but his inability to stop him then has cost us.

Hardly a full back from Premier that could always stop Zaha when one to one. Thought Montoya was outstanding. Somebody must sign Zaha. In a good side would def make difference between finishing 6 or 7th and top 4

I was very pleased with Montoya tonight. We didn't kill the game off but we didn't lose.
