Crystal Palace fans will be frustrated that their team weren’t able to secure all three points against Norwich City. Norwich currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League with just 14 points from 21 games (Sky Sports). And with Palace right in the race for fifth place, this draw will be a major setback.
But despite not winning, fans will be happy to hear Roy Hodgson’s comments on Wilfried Zaha.
“He hasn’t trained since the last game. We were concerned he wouldn’t get on the field but because he’s got such a big heart for the club and such a love for football he declared himself fit,” said Hodgson (Crystal Palace).
Supporters were thrilled to hear of Zaha’s dedication to the club. One fan even calls him the best to ever pull on a Crystal Palace shirt.
Love you Wilf!

He was superb today. Kicked up and down the park but kept on going and constantly looked a threat.
On a better day he’d have two goals too, but today he rescued a point for us.

Think it’s fair to say we’d be no where without Wilfs efforts.Good on him for getting his head down playing for the club.

Will Wilfried Zaha stay at Crystal Palace in January?
No
Yes
Another supporter suggests that this is a sign of the player’s long-term commitment to the side. They don’t think he wants to leave.
And some of you lot say his heart isn’t with the club. Ok

What do we think?
If he does leave the club, it would be a huge blow to fans. But this news from the manager suggests that Zaha is willing to commit his future to the team and help Crystal Palace as much as he can whilst he is still at Selhurst Park.
