The idea that he wanted to leave this summer or any other one is completely wide of the mark. Was promised a place in the 17/18 squad and we are all the better for it.

Morata hamstring gone. That would be a huge loss!
Defining moment of the game for me. We were going toe to toe with them before Morata got forced off.
We were doing well till Morata got sent off. Could very well have scored a couple if not for some extremely marginal offside decisions. Conte made a huge mistake playing without a striker.
Disagree completely. Let him get used to it. Just like most everyone else, he was doing well before Morata got forced off and Conte inexplicably went with his striker-less formation.

Not seen it. Wouldn't have said anything. But it has to be said .....
You just lost to Roy Hodgson!
Forget Palaces first win. That pales into insignificance. You just lost to a team managed by The Hodge!
I think alcohol is in order. LOTS of alcohol!

Come on mate, Woy's back-to-basics style of football is actually good for a team in such a situation like this.
Woy will make them drill the defensive shape until their feet start to bleed, then they'll boot it up the pitch to Zaha, score from counters and stay in PL, which is what he was hired for in a first place.

Hodgson isn't a bad manager?!!!!!
Now I need alcohol. LOTS of alcohol! to try reason with that statement.

Don't get me wrong he's terribly limited as a manager but he undoubtedly can get a team organised and structured.
He's an odd case of being terrible for bigger clubs, but his limited coaching style he has fits a club like Palace perfectly at this time.
Spot on. He was awful with more demanding jobs, but his record with smaller teams is actually pretty impressive. And you know, the guy is 70 year old. ******* Pele was probably still an active player when Hodgson started working as manager, and the grandpa is still around and keeps landing lucrative top flight jobs. If nothing else, you have to respect that kind of career longevity.
This post may end up being unpopular with fellow Chelsea fans but I'm just wondering when is Eden Hazard going to start stepping up in games like yesterday's instead of ghosting? Of course the man has world class ability and is without doubt one of the best players I've had the pleasure of watching in a Chelsea shirt but whenever we put in a poor performance he rarely seems to step up and grab the game by the scruff of its neck and get us out of **** like a lot of other top class players seem to do for their clubs.
