How could the manager leave POTM and probably our best passer of the ball, on the bench for the whole 0-1 game vs the Blades?
Beat me...

Sadly, it was what I expected because Roy had said how PvA was one the best LBs in the Prem, so it was no surprise that he came back in. For some reason Roy won't play Jairo in midfield where his keen eye for a colleague's run and precise passing ability would be a godsend.
it wouldn't surprise if the season end comes and Jairo spends most of the remainder warming the bench that the lad will be off to another Prem team who have seen how good a player he can be.
I have to say I wouldn't blame if he did go.

I've thought, for some time, that he might be tried in a no 10 role, making things happen around the box. He's a great passer and has good strength, too.

and what are you saying or contributing constructively?

Me too. I'm open to being persuaded by a strong argument.

Totally disagree! And with (probably) the least creative midfield in PL (MacArthur, McCarty and Luka), there ought to be room for Jairo R. in the team. As left back he usually try to pass forward while PVA (had a good game vs the Blades) more often send the ball backwards.
Just feel it was wrong signal pulling the Dutch player out of the team after his January success.

Let’s see Wilf left wing, Andros right wing, Meyer inside right, Riedewald inside left and Ayew centre forward. Are my tactics out of date?

That’s a tough call, probably Jimmy Mc, Kouyate on right. PVA, Tomkins and Ward make up the rest of the outfield. Sod it, let’s just play old school attacking football. If nothing else, if we lined up like this the opposition wouldn’t have a clue what to do.

PVA is by far a better left back than Riedewald and it was correct to replace him on Saturday. I hadn’t been as impressed as others in Riedewalds left back displays but did think he was doing short passes When going forward better than PVA. Think his displays should have gotten him in the starting line up and perhaps in place of McCarthy who I haven’t yet seen play that well other than the Man City away. With that said we all know Hodgson has a favoured defensive midfield and I don’t believe he would have or will change that whilst manager of us? Riedewald is not a left back and perhaps it will take injuries in midfield or a new manager to find out if he is good enough? The result Saturday had nothing to do with him not playing, we would have lost whoever was at left back. Missed chances and referee and goalkeeper howlers were the reason we got beaten :-(

So why did Jairo get POTM award from a lot of Palace fans? (I didn't vote at all so no axe to grind on that one, although he was probably the most consistent player during the month)
A lot of people have commented favourably on this site about Jairo's passing in the games he played. Perhaps, therefore, it is you who has been wearing blinkers.
You give the impression of being a great PvA fan so perhaps that is a factor in your assessment.
I, too wanted to see PvA back in the team and expected Roy to put him back. He's one of our better players.
The purpose of my earlier entry re Jairo was simply to ask how he might get a place in the team as I think he deserves a longer run given the way he stepped into an unfamiliar LB position and handled better than many of us would have expected
