He'll probably end up being premier league quality, but i doubt he'll end up in a top 5 club. However i accept i may be way off the mark as im judging on only his statistical record and performance tonight.
3 goals in 59 appearances doesnt exactly say much though. |

Disagree about his crossing. The vast majority of his attempts were just for the sake of it not really putting them in believing they'd create goals. He can work on that. The rest of his game looked good. But from about 45 minutes to about 80 minutes he was putting his feet up, resting somewhere. Then at the end of the game and in extra time he had his second wind

Decent player by the looks of things, another to come through the Palace youth team. Bit of an overeation though, he looked decent but it was one game. Has a long way to go before he can be considered Premiership quality, imo.
Scannell and Moses were even more highly rated when they broke through, Scannell lost his place and has only started playing regularly this season under Freedman, while Moses isn't exactly setting the world alight at Wigan. |

Did he do anything but run at the full backs the whole night? 1 or 2 crosses, that came to nothing. Lots of running, not end product. Zeke seemed to have the measure of him as he was pretty much absent in the second half till he switched to the other side

I thought he was MOM in last night's semi, Cardiff only stopped him by chopping him down repeatedly which imo the ref was far too lenient towards; he should have provided Zaha with far more protection than he was given. Zaha's pace on the turn, sprinting speed and acceleration is phenomenal, these qualities combined with his strength meant he was able to regularly beat one or sometimes even two heavy challengers and come away rapidly accelerating with the ball at his feet. I admit that I've seen nothing of him other than last night's game (I missed the Palace/United game due to work), but if the match was a typical demonstration of his play then he's got a very bright future ahead of him, he's no doubt destined for the Premier League. He came across as being a little petulant and the home crowd targeted him with chants of 'Cheat!', but this was unfair on the lad as he was clearly being repeatedly targeted by the Cardiff players who apparently had no means of stopping him other than bringing him down; he had every right to be petulant as Howard Webb wasn't giving him a fucking chance. At nineteen years of age he seems to me a very exciting prospect.

He's certainly not that. The term 'Bebe' should be censored on this site. Anyway, this Tyneside based rag today reckons Newcastle are in for him, but that they face competition from both Liverpool and United: Newcastle United on alert over Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha - NUFC Latest News - Newcastle United - ChronicleLive I wouldn't be at all surprised at such a move given his performance last night. |

yeh im suprised there isnt more discussion on him. He made our second string defence look like fish out of water.
Very talented. Good skill, excellent pace. deceptively strong and he always works hard in defence. I have only seen the two cardiff games and united game, but still impressive when hes on song. |
