The winger's form has also been somewhat erratic since he arrived on loan from Southampton in August. Puncheon's up and down few weeks perhaps best embody what it is like to follow Crystal Palace - never assured of anything, massive highs followed by crushing lows, and then a surprising high again. He then made himself even more unpopular with Palace fans by seemingly backing out of a permanent move to the club, but was the hero again when he scored the only goal of the game against Stoke this weekend - a result which takes the Eagles to the heady heights of 16th in the league. Punch netted a penalty against Norwich on New Year's Day but then went on to miss a terrible, terrible spot kick against Tottenham a week later. And I'm not quite sure what role he will play next week. In the last week, Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon has gone from hero to villain, to super villain, to hero again. There are heroes and there are villains and - sometimes - there are those who embody both at the same time.

Puncheon a hero again as he lifts Crystal Palace out of drop zoneįootball is like pantomime.
