Quote from Jenas: 'You can't underestimate how well that back three of Arsenal have played today.' Doesn't that mean they've been **** beyond reason?? Not sure it's what he intended......
A Palace win today, aside from giving us the chance to put Pool firmly in the rear-view mirror, also more or less guarantees their safety - I can't see Swansea recovering a 7 point gap with 4 games left to play. Takes the pressure off of our game at Selhurst Park massively.
Conceding less than 40 goals is a common trait of the teams that finish top 4. If you cannot do that, then your attack has to be like the Poool of 2013-14 (which they are far from) . Them not winning helps Spurs a bit, but Palace will be even more confident for wednesday if they take another PL top 5 scalp.
Congratulations to Arsenal today. Good game of football and personally (as hard as it is to say) I thought the better team won over 120mins. However, I think the final is going to be a different ball game, and tactically, Conte will be far superior.
