Not that this would EVER happen under Roy, but I'd love to see us line up like this one day. Jairo dropping between the CBs in position to allow PvA to bomb on (or even fill that gap left by PvA), Clyne slightly deeper to allow Wilf/Ayew to stay forward. Macca 6, Eze 8.
In all competitions for Crystal Palace, Michael Olise has the same amount of goal contributions in the past 40 days as Jordan Ayew does in the past 540 days (7).
Feels good. ๐งโโ๏ธ

By the time #CPFC next play Brighton, it wil have been more than 3 years since the Seagulls last beat them.
Neal Maupay has never beaten Palace in his professional career.
Joel Ward has played #BHAFC 11 times for Palace and still hasnโt lost to them.

Christian Bentekeโs brace on Saturday was the first time heโs scored with both feet in a game for #CPFC.
Heโs already got 4 goals this season, making this his 3rd highest goal tally for campaign since joining Palace. Weโre only 12 games in.
Fine wine. ๐ท
Since #CPFC played Brighton, they have not lost a #PL game - they're on the longest unbeaten run in the league right now.
On the other hand, #BHAFC have not won a game since they visited Selhurst. Only Newcastle are on a longer winless run.

Before a ball had been kicked, Patrick Vieira was joint-favorite across UK bookies to be the first manager sacked in the #PL this season.
Come November, he has lost just twice in 10 games, won away at Man City and been nominated for October Manager of the Month.

On Saturday, Marc Cucurella became the first LB to make 0 tackles against Liverpool this season. He also managed just 1 interception and 1 clearance.
For reference, Tyrick Mitchell made 8 tackles, 5 clearances and 4 interceptions at Anfield.
