I don’t think he was really good. He was ok . Not terrible and not very good. Defensively he didn’t have to do anything because Palace played on the edge of their box.
He was instrumental at least twice in preventing goals. He is never going to be Roberto Carlos but he was defensively vital to that win. He's also possibly the best of that back four in the air which folk want to pretend is not an issue, but it absolutely is. I have concerns regards Watkins if our Centerbacks don't watch this
 
It's sad to read. He was playing in a sliding shitshow and fans were frustrated by his poor performances when we had Doherty (decent) and Spence (untested, but good at Forest), and Conte seemingly incredibly stubborn about not changing things (e.g. Bissouma). Says a lot for him that he came through it. I hope he stays as a squad player.
He did become a solid player under Conte in a completely different way of playing the game. When Ange said his style is not for every player he could well have had Emerson in mind.
