Just visiting and thought this thread was about Schlupp not corners?!

Me too, I have certainly warmed to Jeff more now. Starting to see his contribution a little more. You cannot take away from him that he does have a goal threat. I am a bit torn with regards to Max. For me he takes the easy ball all too often. There were occasions yesterday when he had space to carry the ball but more often than not will go sideways. Of course I do not not know what instructions he is under but for me, he could take far more risks and responsibility and can actually slow us down. At least Jeff does try to get the ball up the pitch. I actually thought Max was a bit meh yesterday and I would guess hes back on the bench against Leicester. In fairness to Max as well with his limited game time he has chipped in with a couple of goals. Against the Hammers he was very impressive, particularly his link up play with Wilf. Its I just dont see what a lot of Palace fans see at the moment. Maybe its a similar case as with when Cabaye first joined, he turned out to not be the type of player we were expecting, albeit a very good one. Problem he is going to have with us is that I just dont think that when we play a 3 in midfield he is ever going to play regularly. It looks like he just doesnt fit into what Roy wants.

It says a lot about the sorry state of football that a player of his ability goes for £10m. He can’t pass, his first touch is appalling and he goes missing time and time again when we lose the ball- often because of him. I’m astounded that anyone can’t see that Max is pure class- he’s the complete antithesis of Schlupp. Never gives the ball away, always available for a pass, probably the best touch in the club. Meyer is pure class and we were very lucky to get him. If he gets game time he won’t be with us in two years, it’s that simple for me

PLEASE can we have a Throw ON Coach, three times yesterday, OURS way up the pitch, three passes and it was back to Hennessy!!

wouldn't mind a rewrite of that song from a year or so ago about Jeffrey loving a seven up to the agadoo tune (if I remember right) - maybe change sometimes he's fkin s***e to loves a sprite seeing as he's doing ok (although he drives me mad with his jogging around and weak tackling)- spomething like this from memory

I agree with everything except Schlupp has pace, power and energy far exceeding Meyer's. He also has a simple policy. Get in the box and whack it at goal as hard as possible. No f***ing about with any clever passing nonsense. In the position he's now in, and with his ability to do this quite well, that's potentially a goal every 3 or 4 games. That might keep us up.

Meyer is a fantastic footballer, don't get me wrong. And better than Schlupp in every way you describe. But Schlupp aggressively closes space, pressures the opposition, and generally has qualities (that I think he's very aware of).

Part of me wonders if Kouyate, Schlupp and Meyer wouldn't work quite well. Harsh on our brilliant captain, mind, and I'm more thinking out loud than advocating it. It would be more mobile.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
