Another big win. The scoreline probably flattered us a little but i thoroughly enjoyed the game.

Our front 3 was good, albeit Jota was a little off but Salah and Mane absolutely terrorized them.

Probably our strongest midfield and each of them brought something different and bossed the midfield par the few mins at the start. I think palace started gaining more control after Thiago left the field.

A completely foreign backline but dealt with Palace well enough. I think Milly will be missed when he finally retires. Can play in so many positions and always does a job. Finally Konate features and May his trajectory goes up and up. Tsimikas is really showing his quality this season and I do think he has better deliveries and probably dribbling than Robertson. It can only bode well for us to have 2 LBs of real quality.

And Alisson, I think this season he'll only be beaten by freak goals and wonder shots. Just how good is he in one to ones?

Finally, are they ever going to stop yellow carding players for taking off their shirt? It was instituted under some stupid once off circumstances but has persisted on though it has no impact whatsoever on the game. Just let the players celebrate. It's not like they are taking off their pants and taking a w**k in a packed stadium.

Agreed. Interesting that all the papers and even Match of the Day choose to use the still of Salah with his shirt off in their reports of the game. If it was that offensive would they do that?

I always thought the booking was because of sponsorship - the time after a goal goes in is where there is a guaranteed close up of the player wearing the shirt and hence shirt sponsors get the most air time. Maybe I’m wrong, that’s just what I thought someone told me.

{Ed001's Note - no, it was because at one time shirts had a second skin and players struggled to get them back on and it held up restarts massively. I think it was Forlan against us that was one of the biggest culprits for the rule, as he couldn't get his shirt back on and tried to play on without it, iirc.}

U r right ed001
It was Forlan in the game when he broke his scoring drought, of all people against us, when dudek had a shocker. He took more than 5 mins to put on the shirt and everyone just stood around and waited.

It has nothing to do with being offensive. Before the game, some fans already have their tops off. Post games, many players exchange shirts on the pitch and has never been warned or fined. A lot more offensive goal celebrations have flew by without any funfare (eg players doing a ‘suck it’ motion, v unclassy and I don’t like it but it doesn’t even get a warning) .

If it’s about time wasting, book whatever behaviour after a goal that does that, not a specific type of celebration that may not even do that.
