Not the most convincing of wins but I'll certainly take it. Palace really had us under the cosh for about 15-20 minutes there until the Saka goal.
Our fitness levels clearly aren't there but our bench was also pretty thinned out by injury, which is a tough combination.
At the same time, if guys like Sambi and Elneny aren't trusted enough to come on for 15 minutes at the end when the starting midfield has no legs anymore...they probably aren't good enough.
