Completely agree, but he's been absolutely brilliant tonight! Night and day and we need more of this Bradley
04.11.2025 21:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Do you agree with the team selection overall Dan?
29.10.2025 22:52 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0We need to go for another centre back anyway. We wanted Guehi (who realistically isn't the best option as he's not aerially dominant), so we should go for another. Ideally they'd be one that can play in full back positions too like Gomez but either way it would allow us to play Gomez more!
27.10.2025 20:17 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0We won't get anywhere near title challengers without more height as well as intensity. Intensity will help with transitions so agree that's another priority but height will stop set piece weakness. We need both but we have answers for intensity if we shift Wirtz to LW. Last year's midfield was fine!
26.10.2025 13:52 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Still have hope Kerkez can work out because I think you can accommodate one smaller full back especially if you moved Wirtz to LW long term and had a more solid midfield. Id be doing that and playing Gomez at right back until Jan when we need to buy one of these big CB/FB types
26.10.2025 11:14 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Not tall and physical enough to cope with an even more physical and direct league this year. We need to recruit 2 big versatile centre backs that can play across the back 4 and accept Frimpong is for the right wing and Bradley is for the transfer list
26.10.2025 11:13 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I feel like number 2 is one that deserves far more attention/is more likely an issue
19.10.2025 20:47 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And this time we had the fans in the ground to celebrate.. every cloud! If (when?!) we get these players to click it will be fun!
19.10.2025 19:53 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I mean I don't disagree, there are enough problems to throw a stick at. And an added variable of grief which renders a lot of tactical analysis a little bit moot. Going to be one strange season
19.10.2025 19:16 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Not sure he's ever been a good defensive right back!
19.10.2025 19:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's all about pros and cons though. With Trent we had one of our most important attacking players. And we had a midfield to better accommodate him and Salah
19.10.2025 18:59 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Why not get a defensive right back with height? It seems obvious to me to evolve and retain balance
19.10.2025 18:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0We've lost one of our best players in Trent and have resorted to playing his back up who is defensively suspect and has lost his mojo going forward. We could never replace Trent and we want to accommodate Wirtz (who's short and more offensive) and retain Salah who doesn't track back.
19.10.2025 18:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Case in point. If we'd signed someone more in keeping with the rest of the team they should be on the pitch!
19.10.2025 18:29 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Maybe we shouldn't have signed the shortest right back on earth and should have brought in some defensive players with height. A lot of our issues now seem to stem back to our exciting shiny transfer window that in reality is extremely unbalanced
19.10.2025 18:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Can't help but think the signings really haven't helped Slot this season. Trying to fit them into the team is a nightmare and it's arguably not possible if we want balance. If this is Salah succession planning it might make sense but what do we do whilst he's still here? #lfc
19.10.2025 17:52 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Wirtz's last two performances have been by far his worst
30.09.2025 21:01 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's been one of the worst performances I can remember from us as well. If we perform even half as well as we should then we might be able to come back in the second half
27.09.2025 14:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Not sure what this means for Ekitike after such a great start. Perhaps Slot will accept Isak needs a bit more rotation due to injury record? Or he won't and he will get injured meaning Ekitike gets minutes either way!
17.09.2025 18:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I don't think it will be moment gone with Guehi at all, unless we decide to move to other targets that become available. There's a good chance we could get him for half the price in Jan. If Chelsea wanted him and he was keen they would have happily paid what Palace wanted earlier this window
01.09.2025 22:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeh they've definitely screwed up not trying to replace him sooner. But in that context.. can't say I'm that surprised how it's panned out. Was on the cards as soon as Glasner put his foot down
01.09.2025 19:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Honestly doubt he was pushing too much for the move. He seemed to not want to screw Palace over himself and can still get the move in Jan or the summer
01.09.2025 19:02 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Can't blame Palace for keeping hold of Guehi.. Glasner has undoubtedly done a great job for the fans by kicking off and keeping him. If we still want him and stump up the cash then there's a good chance we could bring him in in Jan for a smaller fee... Palace have 4 more months to replace. #lfc
01.09.2025 18:57 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yep agreed that's the risk. Huge moment this for Palace though. He's their captain and it's the best manager they've had
01.09.2025 17:23 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0All hinges on Glasner's influence which probably relates to how likely he is to walk away at the end of the season. If I was him I'd be walking if they sanction it without a replacement this late in the window. Shit show all round for the palace board/recruitment team
01.09.2025 17:13 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I heard he's going to be in goal for one of those charity shoot outs
31.08.2025 13:05 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I hope that's true and we get him in this window! We will have to see, as you say all speculation and no one knows but we will find out soon!
30.08.2025 00:01 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That gives the newcomers time to settle and they still get a fee. Seems a compromise everyone will accept. With Isak I'd be surprised if we hadn't already settled on a fee. They've moved so fast with Woltemade, they know he's off and we are willing to pay an amount they'll take.
29.08.2025 22:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I don't know. He's got a lock of stock at palace at the moment and he was adamant he must stay. I don't think his stance will change with replacements and Guehis the captain and clearly isn't agitating for a move. He's happy to wait it out. I reckon we get him in Jan for a slightly lower fee
29.08.2025 22:34 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Isak is probably pretty much done I reckon. Can't see Guehi moving this window after Glasners comments.. but in reality who knows!
