Zaha will get Palace out of the mire

-

WILFRIED ZAHA is so good that he gets managers the sack when he is injured! Roy Hodgson may have got Crystal Palace more organised over the internatio­nal break but it was Zaha who was the real difference against Chelsea. Sometimes we give managers too much credit. Was anyone surprised that Wales could not beat Republic of Ireland without Gareth Bale? Zaha (right) is Palace’s best player and caused chaos for the Chelsea defenders. They just could not handle him and it was no shock when he scored the crucial second goal. With Zaha and the excellent Mamadou Sakho back, and exciting young midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek still to return, I am confident Palace can get out of this mess.
