I didn't word that too well, Val.
Rondon never fails to give 100%, but he's just not good enough for me - £30m is too much to sneeze at for a player worth about 1/2 of that (whatever "worth" means nowadays).
Fletcher was pretty good yesterday, as well - don't understand why he was subbed.
But the players collectively lost that energy they've had for the last month or 2, and it's been that that's given us edge over the lower teams we've managed to beat comfortably. So I wondered whether there was a subconscious complacency throughout the team now that we'd reached the magical 40 pts. (After the break, Palace showed the fight that we'd been showing recently, and I'd like to have compared the 1/2 time team-talks!)
