Congratulations to Crystal Palace for winning this year’s community shield trophy, they have gone against all odds to defeat Liverpool after defeating Manchester City to win the FA cup trophy last season. I must commend Oliver Glasner for a great job with this Palace team and the goalkeeper Dean Henderson for his heroic performance to help Palace achieve this milestone.
This shows that Crystal Palace performance is improving overtime, and they are becoming stronger. They defeated two big clubs in EPL and lifted up the trophy at the end of last season and at the beginning of this season. We need to be on a watch for this club because they might come out with an unexpected performance to surprise us this season. I really love their confidence.
Crystal Palace is indeed improving; they even have a very strong mentality when they reach finals, destroying the dreams of strong teams. They previously defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final and now they've destroyed Liverpool in the final and won the title. However, I still doubt Crystal Palace's ability to compete in the Premier League. I'm not even sure they can compete in the top four, even though they've improved.
The Premier League is very different from other competitions; every team needs consistency, and Crystal Palace can't be consistent in every game. Crystal Palace will remain focused on other domestic competitions next season rather than the Premier League. Liverpool have a lot of work to do in this match, with Arne Slott having to complete several tasks, and several incoming players haven't fully integrated into the team. This must be fixed immediately by Arne Slot so that next season he can defend the EPL title.
