While the backline, defensive structure, and leadership duties have been a work in progress this season.

There is no questions about how good Palace look when they are going forward with confidence under Sage.

That's more like it. Now do it again. #cpfc

That’s class. Viva le Sage revolution 🇫🇷 #cpfc

Great goal. Cmon. #CPFC

With Sarr back, it might be time to see how effective the old Kamada-Wharton pivot can be in covering for this back line #cpfc

I’ve not seen a loan as bad as Disasi since Wonga. #cpfc

As others have pointed out, we should probably shift the target positioning of every player back toward our goal a few yards instead of forward. #cpfc

From the sound of it this is the best viewing option. FFS #cpfc

Mingueza, Richard’s and Disasi all rubbish. Too slow to react #cpfc

Our defence… #cpfc

I’m in a rehearsal. Turned the football on during a break to see our ‘defence’ get carved open like they weren’t there for the second goal. Think I’ll just go back to my singing.

Two poor goals conceded and a referee who doesn’t know the difference between Ismaïla Sarr’s head and Ismaïla Sarr’s hand, but other than that… 🙃

#CPFC

Appalling first half. Defending has been a shambles, no intensity, constantly giving the ball away and created literally nothing. Absolutely pathetic 45 minutes. #cpfc

I hate football #cpfc

Shocking defending. Only Canvot and Mitchell are worth anything. You can clearly see if we step it up, we can get back in. Hope those useless donkeys at the back don’t make it worse #cpfc

Buy shit defenders, get a shit defence. It’s not rocket science #cpfc

Awful time to concede. We are very, very naive defensively - as we all knew. Tonight would suggest that Disasi doesn’t solve that. There’s only so many games you can get away with giving away chances for fun & not being punished. #cpfc
