Think you are right and one thing we know is we would have been speaking to this guy for ages for all the other clubs linked my suspicion is this is all but done and will be quickly tied up in Jan.
European away game hangovers and dips in form in the league are par for the course for squads our size competing in multiple competitions. The number of injuries and players who have had to play too many minute because of them was bound to lead to exactly these sort of results at home.
Amazing for him and well deserved and another young player getting international call ups and recognition from being at Brighton. Won’t do any harm attracting the next stars either
So whilst Brighton becomes the go to destination for the worlds most ambitious and talented youngsters, Palace do the complete opposite by become the nursing home for overpaid journeyman headed up by a 76 year old grumpy dinosaur.
Not surprised that is such a makeshift back four. Paying the price for lack of credible cover at full back and lack of quality CB to play alongside dunk
Yep if only we had a more physical ball winning midfielder on our books maybe even one who had played in the French top division now wouldn’t that be something. Instead we have the 2023 version of Davy Propper in midfield.
To be fair to him you have to let palace have these very small moments of joy it’s about the only crumb of comfort they get these days whilst their decaying unambitious turd that won’t flush club stinks out the league every season just doing the absolute minimum to keep their head above 3 other...
It’s not just the physical recovery part it’s the mental switching off one result and quickly resetting for the next as well as lack of preparation time.
This is nothing new all clubs/squads of our size who compete in the European competitions inevitably take a bit of a hit in the league and...
We were not at our best but some better finishing from Pedro and Fati (who have missed a couple of easier chances in last few games) and a referee who does not bottle a second yellow card and we win that game.
Disappointing but whatever RDZ says we are not a club and squad capable of fighting...
No, he is a smart guy and will look at 3 successive decent managers who have worked under that regime and whose stock is now much lower since given the push.
I think he will have the choice of the top jobs in Europe so a mid table car crash who probably will miss out on Europe again will not...
A billion pounds spent and a reserve Brighton keeper in goal, a 57 year old centre back, a £80m winger with no goals and assists in 22 games and no striker who can put the ball in the net. It’s a very different kind of moneyball at Chelsea.
Am sure another £500m flip of the squad in January...
