How can Palace enter another season with Benteke and Conor as their main strikers, they scored 4 goals in the past 2 seasons (Benteke 4, Wickham 0). Zaha is their only hope to survive. Unless they have forward version of AWB in their ranks
Their squad is getting old too, must be the oldest on average in the Premier League. They were talking about it on Soccer Saturday yesterday.

Ward, Hennessey, Kouyate, Van Aanholt,Tomkins, Sakho, Dann, Kelly, Cahill, Milojevic, Townsend, McArthur, Benteke. All over 28, most over 30.

The back line is just as bad! Ward, Dann and Kelly aren’t good enough, they can find better players in Europe that won’t cost an arm and a leg.
I've checked their signings from recent years and it looks just bad. Summer 16/17 was their last decent transfer window, when they bought Benteke (had a good first season), Van Anholt, Townsend, Milivojevic and Schlupp. So it's been 3 years of bad or lack of investments for them and it shows when you look at the quality of that team. Are they skint or what?

Leicester’s first 11 isn’t looking too good today, starting to miss the likes of Kanté, Mahrez, Maguire. A lot of people said they would finish above us but can’t see it with players they have.

I am waiting for all those Leicester fans for an explanation how can their CBs, especially Evans Almighty, let this invasion happen .

Today is the day the Soyuncu experiment ends. They'll regret not signing a cb as reality hits them.

Chelsea been superb so far, Mason Mount with nice finish.

1-0.

Leicester look like plucky lower league outfit, no composure so far and can't get Vardy in the game.

I cannot bear the fact they were posting on a Man Utd forum how Evans was superior to Maguire, as if we hadn't experienced Evans' bloopers all those seasons (also the fact that Evans is not a leader).

Chelsea looking really good. Making the same start they did against us. Difference is, they have scored the first goal. Criminal stuff by Ndidi, though.

Sky's obsession with showing replays of nothing happening meant we missed the bloody goal. I hate their replays and crowd shots all the time. Just show the pitch you clowns.
