As I said before he has played in the derby against River Plate , also Argentina under 20s , under 23s and the senior team. Think he could have handled the Palace

Impossible to say why. It would be good to see a new option. I'd just counsel against him being seen as the one.
I'd like to know, as has been mooted already, who is involved in team selection.
Today was all about missed chances though. If Albion had won 2-1 NSC would have been a haven of praise about how quiet Palace and Zaha were kept. Which, mostly, they were.

Which is all the more mystifying as to why he was subbed, if Potter was that desperate to get Alzate in then it should have been for one the two passengers in Trossard or Mooy.
Especially as it wasn't a particularly physical or tense game - not as much pressure as there will be later when we really do have 'must win' games mathematically.

My emphasis was on easy ..premier league is a different kettle of fish ..doesn’t mean I thought he might get his chance ..as an aside prior to the game and not with hindsight who would you have dropped from last week and why (to make way for him)
That question came up yesterday when there absence was taken as a sign they would be in the squad today, and again today when it was found neither MacAllisteer nor Lamptey were going to be anywhere near the action.
Surely they should have featured in one or the other.
I expect him to get minutes against Wolves. The war in Sheffield might not have been the optimal start, not a derby either, but next week against Wolves is really a nothing-to-lose type of game. Would be very surprised if he's not on the bench, could even be starting.
Lamptey.. less certain.
Lamptey.. less certain.
Neither has Messi - we'd presumably have to leave him on the sidelines for a few weeks to make sure he was up to speed ....................

Murray gives us that same experience, he’s the hero to keep us up...

I will deal with this part.
Wasn't the point of bringing him back now that he only had a work permit until June? Therefore if they waited they would have to start the whole process off again, but if they bring him back now and he starts playing then the work permit is just renewed.
At least, that's what I read.
Besides all that, I really think we need to take a chance with him as one player doesn't make a team normally, but he could make the difference in us staying up with the games we have left.
We just cannot take that chance because I wonder how many of the players have a release clause in if we go down to the Championship? I would think none, but you never know.

Messi was banging in regular goals in the Champions League for Barcelona at this point in time. Rather don't think he had anything to prove.
If Mac was showing unbridled talent he would be in our match day squad by now, unless it's another factor. They wouldn't leave someone out without there being reason.
As said before, it is most likely the permit thing that brought him back.

Does anyone know why Mac Allister and Lamptey were not even on the bench?
