Remove the nonsense and I do think there's a very decent young coach there. It was just a move that came about far too early for him, in the same way players like Delap should have made a smaller step up rather than a leap to a "big" club, especially one as volatile as Chelsea.
It was clear he was on a hiding to nothing when the players started speaking publicly regarding Maresca. And in fairness, if the nonsense soundbites he came out with in public were anything like he said behind closed doors, then it's no surprise top internationals quickly lost faith in him.
Canvot again so impressive tonight. And Kamada off the bench once again too. Beyond that and the clean sheet, not much more to be made of tonight really. Loathe to even mention Darren England, as it's rinse and repeat stuff from his previous displays in the middle. 🚮
IM THE STAR
Another point on the board ✅
Another clean sheet for the collection ✅
Another game negatively impacted by the officiating of Darren England ✅

Couldn't/still can't get my head around Palace fans wanting us to lose tomorrow. However, if City do us over in that game in hand they have, I won't be too upset.
Taylor and the VAR absolutely bottling what should be quite an obvious red card, no?
Danso, a centre back, not absolutely twatting that ball away and instead taking a touch is criminal. Yes, it's old school, but there's a time and a place for playing out from the back. That was never it, and cost them a much needed win, maybe even their place in the PL.
Delighted for Bromley. Made even sweeter by the nonsense thrown their way all season long regarding their style of play. It may not be pretty, but it's proven effective! They've even staggered their way at the end, just one win in their last 5, and still the chasing pack haven't capitalised. Get in!
Wasn't pretty by any means, and definitely could have done without losing Wharton and Lacroix to injury, but little old Palace have just made it to a European semi-final. Our club continuing to make us proud. Get in there!!
For years and years Man United had absolutely EVERYTHING go in their favour in regards to suspect decisions, so forgive me for loving the tears from Fernandes and Carrick, despite them probably having valid complaints.
I'm all for celebrating winning a bet or two, but people who have placed £2 each way bets on the favourite at the Grand National and immediately act like they're the newest tipster in town can get in the bin 😂
Amongst the euphoria of tonight's result, let it be known that it is clear as day that UEFA are having words with every set of officials sent to Selhurst this season. That dude tonight couldn't hide his agenda whatsoever.
Well, that was an enjoyable evening in SE25, wasn't it? So many top performances. A fantastic result. A proper atmosphere. The start of what could be a great end to the season 🤞
Literally anyone who knows football could have predicted that semi-final line up.
A good night for Maxence Lacroix, made up for him. Brennan Johnson on the other hand...😬
Arsenal fans seeing this as a chance for him to gain some match practice tells you all you need to know about how deserving he actually is of a call up 🤦♂️ and that's without getting in to what happened previously or others than are far more deserving
Hold up, there's a trophy up for grabs at Wembley and we're not there?
Must be giving others a chance.
Home performances have also not helped at all. However, I fully expect Fiorentina and any potential further opponents to actually attempt to play football themselves and help provide an actual decent game of football 🤞
Put the kids to bed so obviously missed the goal. Made hard work of it, but so glad we eventually knocked this lot out. They're an embarrassment with how they've behaved.
Absolute scenes, he's sacrificed a defender for an attacker!!
I'm on my knees begging Glanser to change it up at this stage. Another side down to 10 men against us, and yet his subs straight away do absolutely nothing to change our formation. Understable given how we've shown just how adept our Plan A is when it comes to breaking sides down 🙃
This is wild. Did Maranakis make a formal complaint??
That was a woeful performance. No intensity. No creativity. Glasner seemingly has one plan and once it’s been figured out, he has zero idea on how to adapt/change it.
No shots on target against 11 men in the first half, no shots on target against 10 men in the second half… ⛔️
No creativity, no tactical flexibility, no sense of urgency. 😴
We’re always happy with a clean sheet but, from an attacking perspective, that was bleak. 🤷♂️
#CPFC
A manager going through the motions. And you wonder why the atmosphere, crowds are dropping off. Soporific football.
Laughable tactics again from Glasner. Keeping a back 5 at home against 10 men, why not go Strand-Larsen & Mateta last half hour and take off Canvot? Insanity. He’s getting short change out of this squad. Not good enough. Leeds won’t get an easier point than that all season.
Cool, I'll leave you to your high horse if you're not capable of having discussions with people who might possibly see the game of football in a different way to yourself 👍
Anyone who could have come in with fresh ideas, not my job to find the replacement is it? But you can't tell me there's no one out there who would have willing to come to a London based PL club still playing in Europe?
I strongly believe we have players capable of producing more than we're seeing
