brilliant win at a tough place to go play. Really chuffed for Lukaku. He gets a lot of unwarranted abuse but I thought he held up the ball up well, good link up play and a lovely finish for his first goal. Hopefully this will give him some more confidence so he can kick on. He may not be the most technically gifted but he puts the ball in the back of the net if he is given the right service.
mctominay was quietly excellent again tonight. kept things simple and we looked solid. Lots of people on twitter laying into Fred but what do you expect when you haven't started a game since boxing day. needs time and minutes.
Massive shout out to Dalot. he was fantastic on the right wing. he's quick, skilful and can go past a man. Most importantly he CAN CROSS. He gave us a lovely balance today which meant palace did not crowd out the left side where we usually attack the most. it gave sanchez more space and i thought he looked decent. Sharp and industrious. not vintage sanchez but improved.
Huge weekend coming up with spurs playing arsenal. we have to win as arsenal seem to have hit some form. hats off to ole 8 away wins in the row is very very impressive.

Agree Park.
Lukaku delivers goals if we play to his strengths.
Pogba should have scored that delightful cross from Dalot.
But Fred was a real worry. He offered nothing in attack and was getting bullied off the ball too easily.
He needs to work on his upper body strength.
Hopefully he can turn it around like Lindelof.
Shaw too had a decent game.
The lack of cohesion was understandable with the shuffling in the team.
Overall really pleased with the victory considering that the majority of players were injured.
