Someone dig out the Mané is the new Ali Dia thread. He's a young player who will improve.

We'll reach Wembley. If it's Man Utd in the final, we'll win, but against Hull and, knowing us, we'll probably lose

The players know they didn't perform. There will be a reaction and we will win easily.

As Swansea and West Ham are demonstrating, there are worse teams in this division.

Our problem is that we are at the moment too inconsistent. But we will find our form and we'll be OK this season. People who genuinely think that we will get relegated or that we will be in some sort of relegation battle are utterly deluded.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35014153 Look at where we were last December when we lost at Palace. And look at where they were! Same thing will happen this season. We'll find our form, and teams out of place like Watford and West Brom will slowly move down the table. We will finish in the top half, no problems.

Acutally, on the current league table, we've beaten 2 of the bottom 4.

I think the midfield three of Romeu, Hojbjerg and JWP doesn't work. Steven Davis should've played in hindsight. Two home games next up, hopefully two wins.

To be fair to Long, he did more than Austin.

Behave. There are many teams that are worse than us. We'll finish mid table and at the start of the season I would've been happy with that.

Fonte needs to be sold. He's a liability. Yoshida has played better than him this season.

We've created chances, just once again players taking the wrong option and our usually brilliant defence having an off day.

Puel is in no way to blame. Nothing wrong with the tactics, but the players have played poorly and too many individual errors.

Yoshida and Van Dijk is our number 1 defensive pairing. Fonte needs to go.

Well that was dreadful. Positives - Palace can't keep leads. One goal early on in the second half and we'll be right back in it. Massive improvement needed.

Sims ahead of Jay surely?!

We'll need him for next season's Champions League campaign after winning the Europa League.

That Mandanda injury is a huge blow for them.

According to the Palace forums, Redmond ALWAYS seems to play a blinder against them

Wonderful news. Lawro thinks we'll lose 2-0 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38159700

Wenger's comment to Puel was very classy. Good to see he was gracious in defeat.

As per the first post, why change a system when we've reached the last 8 in recent seasons???

The weekend immediately before the first leg is the 3rd Round FA Cup. Hopefully we will draw a non-league team at home and put out the U21s.
