I was just making the same remark while watching this Arsenal game. We don’t have the luxury like Man Utd to waste that amount of money and go again

He could easily play for Man City, where they own the ball and he could get involved more often, with players making intelligent runs forward and beyond him too

I want him to prove me wrong and go on a not streak in the next 20 games, but I just can’t see it. I’ve never rated him and will forever be mystified by signing him. Mbeumo was the only we should have been after from Brentford and we were never going to get him when more wages were on offer.

We just don’t have anyone in midfield that can take the ball with the their back to goal and just simply turn around. It’s so simple, but everything forward then come s straight back again because we can’t

Barnes is wasted on the right side

Deserved a goal

I was thinking that we need at least another 10 wins for 5th this year, but maybe we won’t

I think it’s pretty much nailed on that he starts on Wednesday now

I enjoyed the Morgan Rogers feature I have to say. Gutted we seem unwilling to take a risk on players like him from the division below

I agree, I really think he’s doomed here as the pressure we’ve put the lad under is insane and just so hard to play under - he’s already been written off by so many. The audible groaning yesterday and the shouting around me about him being shit was just absurd.

Especially when we’re more than likely to be out of the the other two competitions in a month

Eddie said he’s been training at centre back for the last years and they’re comfortable with him playing there - gives us another emergency option which is great

We really need to buy someone that can take a free kick in these dangerous positions around the box

Palace have been great today. When you think about all their injuries, they’ve been right in the game

Tactically I just hate our flat midfield 3. We always press high and a simple pass cuts through it and then they’re second favourite running back tracking a runner

He plays on the last line so the ball needs to be pretty much instant

If Bruno could run, I’d much rather have him at the base of midfield

The more I think about it, the more sense that transfer made rather than spending £55m on Wissa….. I think in general, if DCL can stay fit, then he’s clearly got some useful skills in this league. I’d rather we keep that money in bank for when we had the boardroom structure sorted out

I actually think he did alright yesterday and I’m fairly certain it will be the same 11 we saw that starts on Boxing Day

Love watching us when we play like this

I’d go for Semenyo now and then shift him in the summer

£20m and upwards is a fair fee in this market

They won’t have Muniz, Bassey, Iwobi and Chukwueze - should hopefully make that a tad easier for us

Maybe our plan is to sell Murphy and Joelinton in the summer and their replacements become the starters with Elanga and Ramsey as the backup….

I can see Joelinton leaving this summer as his body can’t be trusted and we can still fetch a very good fee for him.
