Just think Solly has lost his way a bit and seen enough over the years to say there is a good player in there the frustration comes from him not kicking on and fulfilling that potential.
For me he needs the coaches to help him make a firm decision on what position he is going to play and just...
What was noticeable in the first part of the season and last 30min of West Ham was how quickly we moved the ball which meant we were attacking a team who were out of position and spaces and chances popped up all over the place.
However excluding those 30min at West Ham we have gone back to...
Ryan 7 Looked solid
Greyhound 6 the usual mixed bag and lucky to stay on the pitch
Duffy 6 looked rusty but physical presence helped keep Deeney quiet
Dunk 6 Ditto
Burn 6. Did not offer as much going forward as we are used to but first game back so can be forgiven
Propper 6 moved...
On the plus side when things are not going our way he spots it and makes the correct changes only concern is why we are getting it so wrong at the start of too many games.
Think Naylor posted that we have gone behind in 7 of last 9 fixtures which about sums up the main issue we have at the...
If he was a world class one of the top teams would have signed him by now regardless of the numbers Disney was quoting for him. The fact that after another window he is still at Palace says what the big clubs think about his world class credentials.
As for Jamie O Hara...
The club responded already and are clear it is not something they will be doing anything about. To save reading the full Barber version it pretty much says
1) we are premier league
2) we make loads of money for this city
3) we need to make our pitch lovely and this is how we do it
4) so there
One thing yesterday which was a warning shot for Watford was how much Antonio bullied our centre halves if we don’t get to grips with Deeney will have real problems.
Really important our centre halves are at it next weekend as that will be a key battle
Tim Vickery talking about him here on football focus. Makes an interesting observation about where we need play him which suggests he needs to operator behind the striker rather than out wide

It’s astonishing how many West Ham fans are still claiming that as a handball there were about 20 replays of it on VAR which all show it did not touch his arm
The two youngsters look really interesting prospects and add something very different to the squad which is exactly what we need to mix things up a bit. Securing Mooy as well is a real result and all 3 without much outlay so good business in that sense.
The striker market is tough and hugely...
He is one of our best players and I am a huge fan of his but that wasn’t the question it’s what his market value was. With Berge being £22m who is much more of a ‘name’ then it’s hard to see Propper being sold for higher than that. The suggestion was he would be worth £35m I think that is way...
