Don Pacifico apparently it's because they can show a maximum of 29 games per team so want to save all the televised games for the run in. It is a ludicrous set of circumstances. And they wonder why people are opting to get firesticks and IPTV for all the games for a months worth of Sky/BT/Amazon where you only get a handful.
Lolz, didn't realise there was 'logic' behind the decision.
Absolute nonsense but there we go...
Them losing Andersen and having to play Tomkins is the mirror image of Holding for Saliba.
Coombs yep fair now. Andersen had been huge for them
Ohh Martinelli almost. Just taken off him at the last second.
Looks like Gabriel is sitting back and covering while Holding competes for the headers... probably sensible.
Palace playing suicidal football, hope we take advantage before they fall back.
Coombs yup, I like our odds now
Saka pretty poor so far. Watch him score though, always has a knack for that
Almost 0-1 Palace. lucky
We are ridiculously lucky there.
Zaha vs white is no contest. Saka need back up to help him
Clrnc Zaha vs white is no contest.
Got absolutely done there in an exact version of what I was worried about pre match. If we haven't seen it coming and accounted for it to some extent with specific instructions, that's on Arteta.
Holding's roots must've grown into his brain.
That was a scare there
Oof, freakishly lucky there. Was easier for the ball to go in there than wide.
Burnwinter annoying that this is the type of winger Tomiyasu eats for breakfast and he's not available
Saka is crazy out of form. He needs a goal today
Marti a man on a mission today...
Very lucky not to concede there
We should be targeting their LB, although he’s a decent 1 v 1 defender, he switches off often and his positioning is dodgy
Tactics Ward? he's been allowed to have far too many good games against us.
Not pleased with our fullbacks
Saka again lacking with the final ball. 3 half chances so far. He'll click
