Perhaps I’m a natural worrier but I do have a concern if Zaha, Eze and Olise can be accommodated in the same team other than for brief periods where e.g substitutions are made.
The reason is that if you add a striker to those 3 that means 4 players who are not good at winning the ball back or adept at tracking back.
The modern game does not seem to permit that luxury and I suspect that our game would lack the requisite intensity with four players who don’t really contribute defensively.
The pragmatist in me thinks we’ll only see the three players feature in the same team on occasions.

I agree.

Wilf does a lot more defensively than he used to. But Olise is quite lightweight and Eze isn't a ball winner.

I don't envisage the three starting regularly together.

Old, Ungifted and White

of course the can, its similar to Zaha Moritz/Punc and Bolasie, but DG and Jedinak, guarded the centre backs, and Murray was fantastic, also the full backs need to be able to overlap, so in my opinion, RB, DM, and AJ syle forward are whats needed, and all the out of contracts not renewed accept Kouyate,

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Eze is beginning to work out his liaison with Zaha and does it better than Mitchell.

He is learning his trade in the Premier League and his passing is better than Schlupp and far better than Kouyate's.

Olise is learning quickly and all three will be an essential part of next season's campaign.

Once they learn Zaha's wiles and how to cope with often brutal challenges they will be fine and an exciting addition of the 'New Palace'

Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders

I was genuinely excited when Wilf, Eze and Olise were on the pitch at the same time.
These guys have tons of talent between them.

Wilf has always lacked good decision making but his skill with a ball is truly spellbinding.
Olise is incredibly gifted for such a young player and Eze is like a Rolls Royce when he is fully fit.

If we can add greater scoring power to that, then we will be a real danger to any side.

Yep , there is no reason why we cant play a system that showcases the talents of our more skillfull players . In fact the more the merrier .
We know we are not going to win anything all we ask is to be entertained .

And we still need a striker
