[Post Match Thread] Crystal Palace 4-1 Aston Villa

What is there to say. Palace absolutely demolished us today, Villa's defence was all the place today. Sarr scored first for Palace after Martinez thumbled the ball, and Sarr was there to knock in the rebound. Villa did have two goals ruled for offside, as Ramsey first scored from an offside position, but Watkin's goal... was so close, I'm not sure it was offside. Regardless, Palace was ahead. In the second half, Rogers got us level, after Olsen's long ball was knocked back by Watkins, and Rogers spun the defender and got it bottom corner. Excellent, we were level. Then the collapse happened. Mateta scored a bullet of a goal as the midfield lost possession. Sarr scored from a low-cross, and Nketiah scored his first goal in forever, as he tapped in Mitchell's cross. Defensive disaster and we didn't really threaten after the second goal.

Disaster of a performance. Credit to Rogers for getting a goal.

We have now dropped to 10th place. Top 4 is 4 points off, 7th is 1 point off. Most teams around us have a game in hand. Focus has to be on FA Cup, and squeezing as much revenue out of UCL this year, in the event we fail to make Europe this season so we have the funds for a rebuild.
