Can we please play Crystal Palace every week? After Everton blanked us, we needed something, and two games against a high-flying Palace with delusions of being able to play an open game against us was just what the doctor ordered. Best of all, Gabriel Jesus remembered he's a pretty good footballer and put three into Palace's goal in about an hour across the two games. I did not mind seeing Eddie Nketieh bury one of the best headers I have seen either, since it didn't cost us any points. I hope Saka's hamstring problem wasn't as bad as it looked. We need him.
The stupid two-legged semifinal of the League Cup means more rotation for our banged-up squad. We better deliver the goods against Zagreb and Girona to avoid the CL play-in games. We're far enough back of Liverpool to make a title challenge appear unlikely, but you never know. We have Chelsea to catch too. Man City is imploding, which is annoying because it has come two years too late.
