Tyrick Mitchell

So actually Haaland getting a return of some kind and Cherki blanking was not a bad result, and particularly with Mbeumo scoring, um, as well.

Uh, but- Actually, it was Tyrick Mitchell that was the top scoring player of the game week.

Sam, didn't we have him in quite a few of our drafts? [laughs]

Yes.

Um, but I think we did learn quite a lot about the Fulham defense and the vulnerabilities and, a- and where the vulnerabilities are in the Fulham defense.

And obviously they play Liverpool next, so looking at that side of the pitch I think could be quite, quite interesting.

But yeah, couple of goals for, for Mitchell in this one.

I'm not, I'm not sure even he, uh, thought he was gonna get a couple of goals in this one though when he was interviewed after the game.

You should be up for that anyway.

What about Tyrick Mitchell and, uh-

Well-

...

They had a very, very good day.

Yeah.

I'm pleased with Tyrick Mitchell as well.

Yeah.

Yes, you can point at individual mistakes, but they're out of position because of very poor coaching.

I mean, that second goal for Tyrick Mitchell ending up in the back of the net, you're right, it's like under 12s football.

Mm.

And, and, you know, all right, they, they've looked okay going forward.

[laughs] ...

this weekend, then I think Tyrick Mitchell scored the worst, Baz.

Wow, I loved his second goal so much.

I still don't know what happened, and I don't think he did, but I'm just delighted that goals like that can be scored in the Premier League.

[laughs]

Tyrick Mitchell with a brace-

Unbelievable

... and then Bell Schiller.

The second one was a bit fluky, obviously.

It ca-

Which of, Tyrick Mitchell

... sort of came off it.

Yeah, there are, there are, there are.

And the one positive is around the 35 minutes mark, the Tarek Mitchell goal.

I mean, he's improved.

He's come a long way from his Palace debut to now, not only defensively, I think he's always been a great defender, but under Glasner, because of the requirements from him, he's definitely improved as an attacker and become an attacking threat.

I don't know why he got subbed off at half time.

I'll be honest, that was baffling to me.

But great ball to Tyrod Mitchell.

scores of course a couple goals today but the first goal it gave us a bit of relief at that time because yeah um we were still despite us being you know one nil down the game was still way too open for both teams and it could have went either way so mitchell having that goal kind of gave the confidence to the team i think

It does, doesn't it? It's a, that's a strange one.

Um, 'cause they have Tyrick Mitchell there at left back already.

Um, do you think Palace will struggle this season, Elliot? Because as I said, a lot of people have tipped over them or us to go down.

Um-

21 goals across all competitions for the season.

Daniel Munoz and Tyric Mitchell, the right-back and the left-back who were, week after week, in both competitions, among the most consistently excellent players in the squad.

Munoz was Palace's highest-rated Premier League performer across the full season.

Mitchell has been at Selhurst since 2020, through every era of the modern club, and in the Shakhtar second leg made the cross that led to Palace's second goal and effectively confirmed the final.

That kind of continuity is easy to overlook.

It is very hard to replace.

Rayo had the better of the early exchanges.

Then Palace settled.
