MATCH REVIEW: BRIGHTON (H) An analysis of Crystal Palace matches using data. The two rivals played to a scoreless draw in a cagey match that never really hit top gear. It was an affair which saw some nuanced tactical changes from both sides. Let’s get into it! #CPFC #BHAFC #PL

Despite playing just 30 minutes, Yeremy Pino led Crystal Palace in: -shots -shot sequence involvements -expected assists (xA) -expected goal contributions (xG + xA) He was also 2nd in passes into the pen. area & attempted Palace’s only shot on goal after the 8th minute. #CPFC

Against Bournemouth, Crystal Palace registered 3.38 xG & 2.59 NPxG in the 2nd half ALONE Both numbers are *top* of their respective metrics for an ENTIRE Premier League match this season 🤯 Palace’s full match xG of 4.25 ranks 2nd for any Top 5 European match this season #CPFC

The heart in this Crystal Palace side. A thorough dismantling of a VERY good side in the Second Half. A goal against the run of play the only thing that kept Bournemouth sharing the points. Oliver Glasner has elevated the mentality in SE25. #CPFC

Back to front. Guehi -> Pino -> Sarr -> Muñoz 9 total touches to cover the pitch & score. Direct vertical football. #CPFC

MATCH REVIEW: DYNAMO KYIV (A) European nights for Crystal Palace: stuff dreams are made of. Some waited generations for what happened in Lublin, as the Eagles kicked off the league phase of UEFA Conference League with an emphatic win. Let’s see how it happened! #CPFC

As Crystal Palace extends one streak, they’ll look to end another on the weekend. Now 19 matches unbeaten, the Eagles will look to win away to Everton - something they haven’t done since September 2014. Let’s hope one streak goes to 20 & the other ends at 11! #CPFC

It’s probably fair to assume that a lot of Crystal Palace supporters don’t know much about their next opponents, Dynamo Kyiv. Let’s change that! We’ll dive into how they got to the league phase of UEFA Conference League, style of play, and key players to watch 👍🏽 #CPFC

Premier League Non-Penalty Expected Goal (NPxG) Leaders Crystal Palace have 2 of the top 3, and Ismaila Sarr’s numbers are even more impressive when considering he’s missed two matches! But Erling Haaland, wow.. he nearly has more NPxG than 2nd through 4th *combined* 🤯 #CPFC

MATCH REVIEW: LIVERPOOL (H) It was a classic “tale of two halves” at Selhurst Park as the two remaining unbeatens in the Premier League squared off Eddie Nketiah’s dramatic stoppage time winner increased the Eagles streak to 18 matches without a loss. Let’s have a look! #CPFC

Remaining unbeaten clubs in the 2025-26 Premier League: -Crystal Palace End of list. #CPFC

Chris Richards is in the 80th percentile or higher for PL CBs in BOTH Att. 3rd Tackles (82nd) & Att. 3rd Touches (80th) This shows a new wrinkle in his game: pushing higher up the pitch Considering #CPFC are 18th in avg possession, his high Att. 3rd touches is extra impressive!

Crystal Palace’s front 3 has looked a bit out of sync so far. Despite this, they are: -6th in goals -3rd in xG, 4th in NPxG -5th in xAG & xA -8th in shots, 6th in SoT, 5th in SoT% -2nd in NPxG/shot -5th in points, 2nd in xPTS Not bad for still figuring the attack out 🤷🏼‍♂️ #CPFC

Crystal Palace were last in dispossessions for *EVERY* season from 2019/20 through 2023/24. They were 19th or 20th in miscontrols for 2.5 seasons before Oliver Glasner’s arrival. In Glasner’s first full season, the Eagles ranked 6th in both measures & are 5th in both currently.

Non-Penalty Expected Goal Difference (NPxGD) is the “gold standard” for assessing performance It simply looks at cumulative quality of chances created against cumulative quality of chances conceded- removing luck, “purple patches,” etc. #CPFC are +3.34, 2nd in the PL (only to Arsenal’s +3.96)

Office door update! Still a lonnnnggg way to go for this season, but nice to be in that upper quadrant currently! #CPFC

All forms of football are appreciated here 🤷🏼‍♂️

In April of 2025, Crystal Palace lost consecutive matches where they conceded 10 goals (5 in each match). Since then, the Eagles have gone unbeaten across all competitions, conceding just 11 goals (!!) in 17 matches. #CPFC

Having some fun in our soccer unit! Getting our kids to know & remember PL clubs. Each 3rd - 5th grade class got divided into six teams, and each team got to choose their own club. Whoever chose Palace gets bonus points. Sadly, I *almost* went without a single group choosing Br*ghton.. 🙃 #CPFC

MATCH REVIEW: SUNDERLAND (H) While there were great individual moments & tactical decisions leading to chances for the Eagles, the visitors from the North East displayed physicality to see out a clean sheet & share the points at Selhurst Park. Let’s see how it looked! #CPFC

Yeremy Pino & Daichi Kamada are joint-5th in the Premier League in Through Balls completed - despite neither having 50% of league max minutes! Small sample with ~90% of the season left.. but a promising start showing the direct & vertical intent of Oliver Glasner’s squad. #CPFC

In Christantus Uche, Crystal Palace have signed a versatile, physical, & direct attacker capabale of playing across Oliver Glasner’s front 3. With only 36 matches of Top Flight football under his belt, there’s room to grow, but Uche has shown signs of a solid player. 🧵 #CPFC

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Congratulations to Bolivia for securing CONMEBOL’s place in the 2026 World Cup Qualification Playoff 🇧🇴 Aided by the altitude of their national stadium, here’s an *insane* split of their matches: Home: 5W 2D 2L, 17 points, 13GF - 7GA Away: 1W 0D 8L, 3 points, 4GF - 28GA 🤯🤯

Always savvy for a club of Crystal Palace’s size to sign versatile players capable of playing multiple roles/positions. Jaydee Canvot is such a player Getting his start as a CM in France’s famed Clairefontaine Academy, Canvot showed ability once shifted to the back line! #CPFC

Every year I say that we must wait until the window closes to pass judgment on business done. Now that it’s closed.. OUT: Eze Edouard IN: Benitez Sosa Pino Canvot Uche All while not having a negative net spend. Argue about the timing, but ultimately a solid window 👍🏽 #CPFC

Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace vs. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa - across all competitions: 6 MATCHES -5 Crystal Palace Wins, 1 Draw -Aggregate Goals: Crystal Palace 19, Aston Villa 4 #CPFC #AVFC

Yeremy Pino in his Crystal Palace debut (19 minutes): -13/14 (93%) passing -1 key pass -1 big chance created -0.36 expected assisted goals (xAG) -4/7 (57%) in duels -most dribbles completed in the match (2) at a 100% success rate 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #CPFC

It’s finally official - Yeremy Pino is a Crystal Palace player! As someone who watches La Liga as often as I watch the Premier League, I’m familiar with Pino & happy my club has signed an exciting young star. Let’s see how he can help fill an Eze shaped void in attack! #CPFC

All in all, I’m saying this is a great draw 👏🏼👏🏼 #CPFC cf

After watching this draw, I don’t wanna hear another word from any Europeans ever again about the “over the top” pageantry of American sports 🤣🤣

The aesthetics don’t matter with this one. If I may quote the late great American basketball coach, Jim Valvano, “survive and advance.” Onto the League Phase ❤️💙 #CPFC

Still gonna stay true to my principle of waiting til player signings are official, but a little teaser for everyone… Don’t worry, I’ll explain the details of this when the post comes out! #CPFC

MATCH REVIEW: NOTTINGHAM FOREST (H) An analysis of Crystal Palace matches using data. A point each seemed the most fair result. A strong 1H from the Eagles only yielded a single goal, while quality depth & individual skill propelled the Reds in the 2H. Lets dive in! #CPFC #NFFC

To the first of (hopefully) many! Thanks to everyone who reached out about today’s matchday programme. It’s still quite a surreal feeling to be involved. I’m glad it was as well-received as it seemed to be! What an honor ❤️💙 #CPFC

MATCH REVIEW: FREDRIKSTAD (HOME LEG) An analysis of Crystal Palace matches using data Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal gave #CPFC a lead after the first leg, but wasted chances & poor clinician meant Palace will go to Norway without a comfortable advantage. Let’s see how it looked!

Does anyone have experience with apps/sites that allow for simultaneous posting across multiple social media platforms? I know they exist, just looking for insight on the best (& preferably free!) ones. Manually reposting between here & twitter gets a bit tedious. Thanks in advance!

I’m an optimist, but I’m not delusional. I’d be in the latter category if I suggested Glasner’s quotes yesterday were a good thing. However, I refute that things are as bad as some are suggesting. As always, I won’t be subjective. I’ll back this with historical precedent. #CPFC

The Norwegian top flight (the Eliteserien) - as well as its domestic cup - are not widely covered outside of the country, so it’s understandable if you don’t know much about Frederikstad. Let’s change that! Here’s some info on Crystal Palace’s first ever European opponent.

It’s difficult to think of a player who encapsulated what it meant to be “Palace” more than Ebere Eze.. His style of play, constant smile & composed demeanor, his charity work off the pitch. Role model. Cup winner. He’ll get a full hero’s send off. No one deserves it more ❤️💙 #CPFC

MATCH REVIEW: CHELSEA (A) An analysis of Crystal Palace matches using data A tale of two halves meant a point for each side on opening day. The Eagles were organized & disciplined in the 1H, but fatigue allowed for Chelsea chances late in the 2H. Let’s get into it!🧵 #CPFC #CFC

It sure seems like the Palace contingent could use some positivity today! Don’t worry friends- I got you 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Over the past 5+ years (five full seasons plus this upcoming one), only TEN English clubs have lifted silverware. Only 3 (!!) have more trophies than Crystal Palace during that time. #CPFC

Decided to fix up my office door this school year to give the kids more exposure & opportunity to learn! Legitimately the most artistic thing I’ve ever done.. pretty proud of myself - won’t lie! 🤣 That’s exactly how the table will finish in May, too 😉 #CPFC

🆕 Long read interview with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish Parish admits Palace must resolve Marc Guehi’s future. Makes no secret that a financial loss on Guehi is a 'problem for a football club'. On transfers, budget constraints, Glasner’s demands & CAS verdict 👇 #CPFC

Three months. Two trophies. It genuinely doesn’t get better than this. Remember to take it all in. Savor every moment. So many throughout our history would’ve done anything to have seen this. This is for all of them just as much as it is for us. UP THE PALACE!! ❤️💙🦅 #CPFC
