‘Our best midfielder’: Crystal Palace fans react to Jeffrey Schlupp’s performance in FA Cup victory
Premier League outfit Crystal Palace secured a place in the quarter-final of the FA Cup yesterday with a 2-0 win over Doncaster Rovers.
The League One outfit made a decent fist of things against better quality opposition, but the Eagles showcased their class in the end.
Goals from Jeffrey Schlupp and Max Meyer saw Roy Hodgson’s men home, with Wembley now firmly in their sights.

Rovers put up a fight but there was always a feeling that the Eagles were comfortable throughout the contest.
Schlupp, in particular, was a shining light for Hodgson’s men and he has been in fine form since the turn of the year.
The 26-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Selhurst Park but is doing his chances no harm in the absence of Wilfried Zaha.
His goal yesterday was a fine individual effort and was his fourth goal of the campaign in all competitions.
Palace will hope that their FA Cup form can ignite their Premier League campaign, with the Eagles currently just three points clear of the relegation zone.
Sclupp was the standout performer in South Yorkshire yesterday and he will be looking for more opportunities to impress in the coming weeks.
Following the cup tie, Eagles supporters took to Twitter to praise the performance of the former Leicester City man…
I have no issue with Schlupp, he was very good yesterday, I just have issue with both him and Macca playing in the same midfield 3. Neither are that technically good and therefore we lack creativity

I’ll hold my hands up and happily admit that I was wrong to slate Jeffrey Schlupp.
The bloke has been fantastic for us since 2019 began.

So it’s clear to me is possibly under appreciated at palace – he’s won the league, yet not arrogant.. he’s on 5 goals… but doesn’t start every game.. he doesn’t cause drama.. he’s not fancy.. love him at palace.. true professional and team player!!

Absolutely ludicrous that more people have voted Meyer MOM than Jeff Schlupp.
People seem to Max as some kind of God amongst mortals.
I like him, he’s a good player.
I think he’ll be an even better player.
But the hype around him is nonsense— typical palace (@typicalpalace)
the only way is Schlupp

Luka was the antithesis of awful, Meyer wasn’t awful, Kouyate wasn’t awful, Schlupp wasn’t awful
