Israeli player Anan Khalaily received a mixed reception from English media following Crystal Palace's 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The victory propelled Crystal Palace to 12th place in the league standings with 7 points. Khalaily made a significant error early in the match, contributing to Nottingham Forest's first goal. This mistake led to criticism in the English press, though his performance improved as the game progressed.
Online outlets provided varying assessments. RoundTable gave Khalaily a score of 6, noting his "catastrophic mistake" in the first half but acknowledging his improvement and "great crosses" that nearly resulted in goals. The outlet also commented on his defensive vulnerability, stating he "learned how to cope" in the second half and prevented Dan Ndoye from creating dangerous chances.
Dave.sport also awarded Khalaily a 6. The False 9 gave him a lower score of 5, attributing the opening goal to a "weak header" back towards his own goal that allowed Ndoye to score. The outlet noted that Khalaily nearly atoned for his error by setting up a chance for Jürgen Strand Larsen and later had a penalty appeal denied.
However, Spanish journalist Pacojó Mariscal, writing for Cadena SER, offered praise, calling Khalaily's integration into the Premier League "great." Mariscal believes the winger is proving his capabilities, even while filling in for Daniel Muñoz, and deems the signing "excellent."
