I'm no expert either. That isn't the only criteria, if it was then Textor's 25% voting rights wouldn't be an issue

We wouldn't be "taking" Brondby's spot - we'd be swapping with Forest, and that would then cause another conflict between us and Brondby

Possibly. Maybe.

Hi Matt, UEFA's rules (5.02a) seem to suggest Palace are guaranteed to get the Conference league spot at worst at the expense of Brondy

Did you see this when writing the article? Not 100% I've understood it correctly, but it seems pretty clear!

It was an awful pass, but luckily Munoz did so well that we don't have to think about it!

What is the PL obsession with reverting to the "on field decision" when replays and multiple camera angles have demonstrated the decision is too close to call?

If VAR can't prove an offside or ball out of play situation it should default to onside or in-play. Instead it goes to the lineman's guess

Yeah he can usually keep the ball pretty well!

He did also fail to play anyone in for at least three really good attacks by taking too many touches. Which is the point I'm making, he doesn't seem to be enough of an attacker to start in the 10s - and won't replace Hughes/Lerma/Cheick at DM!

Franca was only on the pitch for a few minutes, but he got one real possession of the ball and instantly tried to beat his man and get into the box

It wasn't successful.. but I love the attitude regardless #cpfc

I still struggle to see where Kamada fits. He was fine today - but he's not direct enough to be the second striker, not creative enough to be the playmaker, and not defensively strong enough to play as one of the two DMs.

I guess he's decent to bring on if we're a couple of goals ahead? #cpfc

Every time Gundogan misses a shot for Man City I think "he'd have scored that if it would deny Liverpool a title"

And I'm sure every Liverpool fan thinks the same thing too #lfc #mcfc #leymnc

"Still trying to get Guehi done". Haven't heard a single thing about that from any Palace sources all window

Can't imagine anyone thinks it's realistic to sign him now if we rejected £70m in the summer #cpfc

Unless Chilwell is the LCB cover too..

I love the way Eze puts in those deep central free kicks. Stabs it forward with so much backspin to kill the flight of the ball and make it easy to attack #cpfc

I don't see an issue with getting those players on loan!

It's not like they've been blocking a young players development, if we were loaning Chilwell all it would prevent it Clyne getting minutes at LWB

*the gang gives +2 minutes*

They hadn't tested us either before getting that penalty (and even that didn't test Henderson until they decided to give it to them again)

Mbuemo was about to kick it again.. all Guehi stopped was a Brentford foul. That's such a ridiculous call.

MBEUMO WAS ABOUT TO KICK IT TWICE IN A ROW

HE WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO FOUL.. what kind of bullshit decision is that

How does he seem to recognise that Reform get way more coverage than their 5 MPs deserve.. but his party won't replace the right wing heads of the BBC who are making that happen?

Derby County results with and without David Ozoh.

Ozoh starting: 3W-0D-2L

Ozoh injured: 4W-6D-13L

Is that entirely because of Ozoh? Who cares. I'm saying yes. #cpfc #dcfc

Ipswich in 18th have scored 16 points in 22 games (0.73 points per game)

They are 11 points behind us. At their current rate would take 11 / 0.73 = 15 games.

There are 16 games remaining this season. #cpfc

Spurs have scored more goals in than Arsenal or Man City and sit 15th in the table..

Maybe having a "philosophy first" manager isn't such a good idea

At the start of the season I couldn't believe a guy with Kamada's credentials was playing as badly as he was..

Really hope this isn't just a patch, and instead it's the start of his transformation into a really strong player #cpfc

Kamada's best two PL appearances for Palace have been the last two games for sure #cpfc

2G 3A is not bad for a player who's pretty clearly in a slump..

Really hoping Esse can starting strong. I think a left footed player on the right will open up Eze's game massively #cpfc

And had a beautiful pass, which I've not seen from Kamada yet

He did well pressing and tackling though last night, I was worried that we'd look a bit frail when he came on for Hughes

Sums up Eze's season. Pretty rubbish performance by his standards, but still gets his assist #cpfc

WHY IS HUGHES COMING OFF #CPFC

The way these commentators are describing Glasner you'd think there were literal flames coming out of his head #cpfc

Of course Arsenal aren't capitalising..

Vardy on Guehi there would be a foul if Mateta did it..

Why do we get refs like this all the time.. the big calls don't always go against us, but it seems to take so much more for us to get simple free kicks

Any contact BY Hughes is a foul, any contact ON Hughes is fair game.. #cpfc
