Having Ndiaye with McNeil has changed us massively going forward this season. If Branthwaite and Tarkowski stay fit we'll he comfortable. Been impressed with Mangala too, reliable in possession.

Like how he goes and gets the ball after the first.

Good mindset.

His game has its quirks but he doesn’t hide and his final ball is pretty excellent given space (and provided the ball’s on his left foot).

He's scored that goal before in front of the Gwladys...

What can I say? Tonight is not the night for this opinion.

Well done Dwight, tremendous goal.

Dwight absolutely best in the 10 gives us more quality on the ball in final 3rd. N’Daiye clearly more effective wide than central. With Gana and Mangala in the 6’s, I think it’s the best midfield

But still, he’s been great in that number ten.
Definitely not "terrible" for the first. Not many GKs are getting to that.

Dwight can't really be criticised all that much given his main role up until this season has largely been graft for benefit of the team and the defensive side at that, rather than where his flashy skills lie.

If, say, he didn't have an engine, (or we had a better and deeper squad) and wasn't played back and wide, fans would probably appreciate and rate him alot higher than they do.

Yeah, watched it back now and he’s buried it in the corner.

Looked at first glance like the keeper kind of dived under it but he had no chance there.

Poor for the second though but Dwight Shoot can hit them in from any angle.

Great variety of goals/technique to his shooting.

Can score curlers, pure screamers where he puts his foot through it, goes high, low, close range, long range.

Great goals today.

He frustrates me at times. He can do THAT, especially the second goal which was just class. Then he'll pass when an easier shot it on. He needs to hit from range more often, especially if their defence is solid as Palace's was. Made up with result obviously
