I haven't watched Crystal Palace in person for a few seasons... so apologies if this is the most basic point or comes across as condescending, that's not my intention.
But what struck me most about them (and I'm sure many Palace fans on a weekly basis)... is how often they turn down one of their most effective passing options.
Tyrick Mitchell was nearly always available at left wing back, but in my opinion he didn't push on high or wide enough and secondly didn't demand the ball. Jaydee Canvot started the game well, but he's very young and he lost confidence on the ball in the 2nd half, blunting their left side.
I've never met Mitchell, he seems like a lovely, very relaxed guy, but I'd have loved to see him demand the ball, especially when he was in so much space.
If Palace were able to match the intensity, threat and athleticism that Munoz offers on the other side (no mean feat), I think they'd be a much better attacking outfit and for me, I'd like to see Mitchell develop his attacking capabilities to match his obvious defensive qualities!

@1968Tv I was there - amazing day out. Great atmosphere, great goal, so glad I was there. Roker Park was a fantastic ground.

50 years ago today, my Dad, my brother Grahame & his friend Alan set off for Stamford Bridge - FA Cup 4th Round. 2 of us returned ecstatic, 2 were disappointed. One of Peter Taylor's finest outings. Big Mal, the fedora, fights
Can't believe it's 50 years

@CEO4TAG @PrimeVideo Hi Steve. Thanks for all you’ve done for Palace. Just one complaint - the ticketing website is consistently infuriating. It was for the semi and the final and is even worse for Frederikstad. Please get it fixed. Thanks John - season ticket holder

The beautiful game is being destroyed by money and jobsworths. I have followed Palace for 60 years and I think I've already suffered enough without UEFA's help. Here's a poem they've driven me to.

@raymasseytweets @SW_Help @Heidi_Labour @UKLabour @transportgovuk @railnigel Who’d have expected hot weather in summer? Britain has had trains for about 200 years and still the industry can’t get its heads round the weather.

Rail chaos in the stifling heat on newly nationalised South West Railways @SW_Help out of Waterloo.
Wrong kind of sunshine?
Nationalised rail going well @Heidi_Labour @UKLabour @transportgovuk .
What you reckon @railnigel ?

I never thought this would happen! I’m thrilled to be included on the same page as WH Auden and JRR Tolkien. My Viking novel @BloodEagleSaga is included on alliteration.net/books/long-poe… - a celebration of epics in alliterative verse. If you like Beowulf or Viking Sagas, give it a try!
