Where will Olise fit into Palaces current formation, part of the midfield or forward 3?

In midfield with McArthur injured, there’s a chance to look at Olise there, but he’s a very different player so I think others will be in there first (maybe Hughes gets a start). With Gallagher’s form, Olise needs to be patient

Looking further forwards, he could go in wide of the front 3, but Zaha, Benteke, Edouard are becoming our first choice starters. So Olise (plus Ayew, Schlupp, and the returning Eze) have have to deliver the effective alternatives to freshen up and change things during games, as well as pressure and cover if form or injury reduce performance of those ahead.

So, although an exciting player I’d love to see more of, I don’t think he makes our starting 11 yet. He will have to keep impressing as sub, and keep improving if he’s going to push his way in front of someone else.

Agree he’s better from the bench, his Newcastle performance as a starter was not great he struggled to get into the game when it was tight ….. he’s better when the games stretched and coming on against fullbacks who are tiring. All good experience for him
