but I do think we have some players like Doucoure / Gomes who have zero fight in them and that is a big issue when you are down to the wire.

I think Lampard knows this and is struggling to name a team without them, but is hoping that those with the fight can carry or motivate the others.

Palace may not be up for it like a cup final, but they will certainly not roll over. Vieira has them organised and well drilled, he will demand they are professional in their approach.

I agree with the bet ..... it could cover a holiday, you may as well be miserable away from home.
