All he offers is energy because he can’t play football anymore.

I noticed Townsend against Sheffield Utd early in the season that he was going backwards against one of their players in a foot race for the ball.

He has lost his pace and needs to find a way to adapt his game effectively to compensate for the loss of pace.

The checking back constantly is also a flaw in his game and he really should concentrate on improving other areas of his game such as crossing accurately and whipping the ball in in the corridor of uncertainty on a regular basis.

No, it is only this year he has looked out of his depth at this level. I used to rate him as well but I’m afraid he is done now.

Same here. Just not with it this year since the restart. I'm not sure it it's permanent or just something temporary he's dealing with.

Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth.

Wilf hasn't been great but he has been given nothing for clear fouls whereas Spurs have had loads of free-kicks.

We are way too slow on the ball today. I wanted Mithell to get his chance but he is slower than I expected and not strong enough yet by the looks of it. I would bring Jairo on at left back and unless he's done something wrong can we please see more than 10 minutes of Meyer. At least we moves the ball quickly.

Spurs walking this at the moment.

Injuries aside Palace at present go into games with a negative mindset due to poor management and a total inability to score goals Parish must effect a total revamp of players and coaching staff These are desperate times and drastic action is required in the close season if we are to retain Premiership status next season
