'Do we have a trophy cabinet big enough?' - fans on Wembley joy

We asked for your views on Crystal Palace beating Liverpool in the Community Shield on penalties. Here are some of your comments:Paul: This, for me, is the best Palace side I have seen since supporting them from 1977. What makes it special is that we now have three players who look like they will score regularly. On our day, we can beat anybody!Andy: Palace deserved it based on the second half. Now the Palace hierarchy needs to go all in on Glasner. He is one of the best managers in football and Palace need to keep Crystal Palace are a force now. Get some more players and watch In my opinion, Mateta is a better striker than Harry Kane; he has won two trophies with a mid-table team, while Harry can barely scrape onto the list of players with a competitive trophy, never mind that he was at Spurs and Bayern. So, when a man who is worth £15-20m is said to be 'not a quality player,' just think of this. Mike: What a manager Oliver Glasner is. I only hope Parish supports him with the additional players he Forget the Uefa ruling, forget the future of Eze, Guehi, and the lack of transfer activity. The real issue is, do we have a trophy cabinet big enough?Nick: Palace deserved to win after the second-half performance. Hopefully, an even bigger win on Monday with the Europa decision. Keep the main guys, and who knows what they can achieve this season.

Keeping key players is 'best outcome' for Palace

Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison believes keeping hold of key players is the "best outcome" for Crystal Palace in the transfer Eagles have made just two signings so far this summer, but Hutchison feels it is not just incomings that the club should focus on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Hutchison said: "Palace have had a really good [transfer] window [so far] in not allowing any of their big players to leave."What they've got to do now is convince them to stay. I'd like to think that Oliver Glasner has got the pulling power to say to his players and say to the likes of Marc Guehi that they should stay to help them in Europe for just one more year."Keeping hold of their best players would be the best outcome for them this transfer window".Palace won a second trophy in three months at Wembley on Sunday, with a penalty shootout victory over champions side twice came from behind to take the match to spot kicks and Hutchison believes they deserved their victory."How can you not love Palace's story?" Hutchinson said."They are one of these teams that have had it hard for a long time and now they've got their second major trophy in a matter of months."They play and they run hard for their fans and they are a team I think that are hard not to like. The players work really hard for the badge on the front of the shirt and they thoroughly deserved their win."Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds here.

Cleverley to examine reasons for Argyle's poor start

Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley says everyone at the club must look at why the side has lost their opening two League One Pilgrims - who were relegated from the Championship last season - failed to have a shot on target as they went down 2-0 at Bolton Wanderers on came seven days after a 3-1 opening day loss at home to Barnsley that was marred by defensive errors and a host of missed chances. "It's down for everyone at the football club to do an internal reflection of themselves," Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon."Where can we make this better? I will work largely on the technical aspect of that and the balance of the team."I'm sure every other person at the football club, staff and players, will look within themselves, which is the most important thing."I think if I can say two things I've learned from hard times is work harder and look in the mirror first." Argyle have not lost their opening two league games since the start of the 2016-17 season they then went on a 14-game unbeaten run in the league that saw them win 11 games and was the foundation for a season that saw them go on to finish second in League Two on goal difference. But Argyle's lack of attacking options were made evident by the loss at lost players including Ryan Hardie and Mustapha Bundu over the summer, Argyle have signed young forwards Bim Pepple and Owen the club has still not been able to secure the services of an experienced first-choice striker. Cleverley says they are still searching for a new forward and is hopeful of some success soon."If we want to go after the ambitions that we have at this club we need strengthening," Cleverley added."A significant bid has been placed. First one rejected, second one placed and that's where we're at."We're into plan C, D and E now, but that's why you have a plan C, D and E because rarely does plan A get executed if you don't have the budget of some of the other clubs in the league."
