Expand On the mark. We need to be ruthless in transfer business, which includes walking away once your counterparty isn't negotiating in good faith. We have the luxury of shopping anywhere else for talented CBs and Palace have no leverage - we know Guehi is gone in 2 years. No reason to cave to Dougie's demands.

rebelrouser Posted August 11, 2024 Share Posted August 11, 2024 One thing missing from the "we were poor on defense not offense" narrative is that we had trouble scoring against the top of the table.

Do you not think the drop was us A losing Pope and B the reduction in our pressing game from our forwards and midfielders due to our injury situation and limited options to rotate? Expand A - yes, b - no, teams are gonna attack you at some point during a game no master how well or how good you press. Tripps was awful last part of the season as was burn whenever he played left back, shocking is a strong word to be fair though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
