Same number of points after 8 games though
Significantly that 8th game win (against Chelsea) was when Zaha returned from injury, and it became clear that they were more than capable of digging themselves out if he stayed fit.

Nothing like that on the horizon for them this year. Eze is a good player, but he’s nowhere near as influential as Zaha was.

Lots of long-range shooting, but his touch and control is poor. Doesn't seem to have a defined role for Palace, and he's been junk for England.

In further amusing news, it transpires that the player they've all been absolutely slating so far this season, Daichi Kamada, is the highest earner at the club, picking up £100,000 per week.

Was quite decent in Germany and is a Glasner signing but has failed miserably for Palace so far, whether in midfield or attack. He sounds like an expensive Mo Dahoud.

Yeah I’ve watched him in a few games now, and really can’t work out what his best position is meant to be. I had heard he was a Glasner signing, key to his system. But he doesn’t seem to have an attribute that really stands out. Not fast, doesn’t shoot or cross well, doesn’t seem composed on the ball, passing range seems limited, lightweight in tackling. Just very mediocre at best in most areas. An expensive Dahoud is right so far. But even that seems unfair on Dahoud.

To be fair to them, he was a free transfer so the fee gets added on to the wages like we did with Adam Lallana.

But that don't change him being not what their fans were expecting, and raving about how good he was, which has gone down like a lead balloon, especially being a Glasner signing 😀

To be fair some on here had written off Rutter after 10 minutes

TBF Dahoud was one of our highest earners so it looks like a very similar deal.
