You mentioned Wiji was ineffective ed. I'd like to ask you if we do get in another CM whoever it maybe do you think Wiji's position is under threat. Its games like this I wish he would impose himself more.

{Ed001's Note - every player's place is under threat and that's how it should be.}

Good read that Eds 01. Milner has had his critics tonight but I think you sum it up perfectly when you mention him covering when the left back gets forward. Something we have missed in the past. Do you think roberston has done enough to start Wednesday night in what is our biggest game for some time.

{Ed001's Note - he was better than the alternatives, so yes.}

Great review, Ed. In mid-season form already, I might add. I posted that Milner really is a liability in CM and it was not until he was instructed to cover Robbo that he was effective.

Also, I agree with you regarding the press. We are still not doing it right and agree that sometimes, you just need to clog up the passing lanes esp. vs a team that is not there to play football. There will be no options to pass to hence, they hoof it. Once the spaces are clogged up, you can then press from there, is what I think we should be doing right now.

{Ed001's Note - I am not sure we need to press a team like Palace to be honest, they were only looking for the long ball anyway. Against a long ball team, you just cut out the options for the long ball and they struggle.}
