Another who isn’t good enough for where we want to be but due to our poor recruitment is currently undroppable.

 

Not really, we signed his replacement and he's out injured for the season. 


We don't need to make things up, we have enough real problems :lol:

If Botman wasnt injured he would have played all season at LB and Hall would be wasted on the bench

It’s just a complete lack of aggression at both ends come set play time when he isn’t playing, we just aren’t a physically imposing side at all without him. 
 

That’s not to say he should win a Ballon D’or but it’s such a clear miss when he’s not there

He's shit play Kelly...

 

 

 

 

 

They said.

 

 

But that means Kelly is shit so we don't really win either way. Burn might not be the silkiest footballer but he does defend well and is important at set pieces. We shouldn't fall apart in one game where he is out, so it's an indictment of his replacements as much as an endorsement of his abilities.

Think Kelly just had a particularly bad game and hasn't really spent all that much time in our back 4 yet in terms of game time. Neither are prime Maldini but both cam do a decent job most games. Dan Burns leadership was missed though. I was just working my ticket with the afore-quoted post tbh.

Was he that good today? Palace should've scored at least 3. 

 

 

Thanks to the Geordie superman, they got 1. Kidding aside, I thought he played well. He has his limitations, like most players.

That’s a fair summary tbh - bloke is 32, gives his absolute all - I can’t ask for much more - whether he’s good or indifferent 

 

Being hyper critical - stick to the defensive line - too often he’s caught in no man’s land and it led to 2/3 Palace chances. A couple of instances he followed Marteta all th way up the pitch for no reason, lead to us being exposed to a counter over the top

I think that is an instruction, mind. No DM to pick them up and Schar or Burn/Botman often aggressively follow their man as far up as into the other half of the pitch.

Why the fuck can't people see this? Do they really think he takes it of his own accord to be that high up right in behind a forward. "No Eddie wants me to hold  the line but fuck him, I'm gonna chase the forward into their half"
