The way things are going he may move to a "bigger" club but quite possibly not a "big" club". I worry for him that he may have missed the boat on that one.

Clearly not fit and wasn’t able to go at people at pace, but he was still our most dangerous passer - slipped at least 4-5 into the box which is more than the rest of the team combined.

He wasn’t good, but probably a 6/10, which I’d make our best performer on the day.

Tactics are utter utter s***e - there is no plan to create chances outside of hoping Wilf or Ayew produce a moment of magic, which just isn’t sustainable.

3 defensive midfielders at home to Burnley is taking the piss. 1 sub in 75 mins (which is one DM replacing another) is a disgrace, even more so when you’re entitled to 5.

There cannot be a less dangerous flank in the Prem than Ward and Townsend down the right.. that’s a top half championship pairing.

We’re not even close to being worth watching at the moment - £600+ a season ticket to see 20 goals and maybe 5 wins. It’s pathetic.

I love Joel Ward but I completely agree with this. He gives nothing going forward and treats the ball like a hot potato. It got the point where Andros would try and take on 3 defenders to get a cross in before thinking of passing back to Joel.
He gives everything for Palace but we need to upgrade this. Someone like a Cedric Soares who can get forward at speed and put in some dangerous crosses and get some assists.

Reliably informed by the official announcement on the club website or..?

Wilf didn’t look fit last night but still usually occupied 2-3 of the opposition which should have created space for others. I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to say that he wasn’t trying.

Zaha hasn’t had the best of seasons and from that perspective this close season is a good time to give him the move he wants.

However, the financial landscape has now changed and I think we would ‘ only ‘ get around £45-50m.

Old, Ungifted and White

Still made the best cross of the game. If the defender hadn’t got a slight touch Jimmy Mcarthur could have easily scored the header.

Ward didn’t do much wrong for a full back at Palace.
I’d be more angry with the midfield three, well actually more two, being pretty damn dead at attacking anything if i didn’t expect that every bleeding game now.
Jimmy tries and has moments of skill or movement but how we could do with a Cantwell or Moritz or McNeil type player now.
