Definitely agree with giving Gordon a go, but would also stick with Murphy. He and Isak seem to get more room to play against the better teams.

Aye I'd start Gordon with one of Barnes or Murphy as an impact sub just for the energy he has. Also it's easy to forgot given the form Murphy and Barnes have been in but Gordon is still overall our most complete winger imo. Hopefully Isak and Bruno see more of the ball too given Chelsea will play more expansively. Not saying this based off of yesterday only but Bruno has a lot to improve on in his more advanced role. We know he can't shoot but he also hangs onto the ball for far too long before releasing it, maybe that's his natural instinct given he's mostly played in a more defensive role breaking up play but it needs to change.

They should have won that with the chances they had. But good effort from them, showing the champions what a bit of integrity looks like.

That'll do, as for the pen, why'd it take so long on VAR was a double pen in truth, blatantly obvious at first look to me.

Good result for us

Forest clinging on a bit

Ezes pen looks suspect. He went backwards. Is that allowed now?

It’s all Palace

Nketiah is shit

Missed it. Was making a sandwich, Davidstow 36 month reserve - what a cheese.

1-1 FFS

Dankjewel, Agent I Touch

1-0 Palace, Penalty.

Aye, Murphy has played a lot of football this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing Gordon on the left and Barnes on the right.

They seem to be at least having a crack at it!

Knowing Eddie he's got something lined up for arsenal and doesn't want to give it away.

Yeh he seemed to come alive then

I wonder if Eddie has got a tactical rabit lined up for this one - five at the back or something. I quite liked Isak in the number 10 role late in the game against Brighton. Looked way more involved. Not suggesting we start like that but some kind of curve ball to exploit Chelsea’s weakness.

Palace unchanged from the side that battered Villa.

According to Hope, Brighton should have had that pen when the player basically leaned onto Tonali and fell over.

If fit, I think Gordon needs to start. If anything to give the first team a little refresh and keep people on their toes. Barnes has been great. Its harsh if he is dropped and also Murphy, but I did think Gordon did give us a little burst.

If Palace get a result tonight, a draw suits us both. That’s what I can envisage

They won't, they don't have Eddie.

I don’t disagree which is why I treat it more as a standalone event. It’s never happened in our lifetime and even if we win it next year, I’m pretty sure most of us will stay dry eyed. Where as how our league season plays out, significantly impacts the clubs upward journey. I will be overjoyed we’ve won a cup, but gutted if we miss out and stagnate while the likes of Villa and Forrest overtake us.
