[Albion] Premier League 6-8/2

[Uh_huh_him]

Nothing like a bit of Leeds hyperbole in the morning, from the comments on the Guardian match report:

We're witnessing something unprecedented, historic, epic, and it may not happen again in the foreseeable future - El Loco found most of these blokes mid-table in the Championship, and look how they play against established Premier League teams!

Palace may be established, but being given a footballing lesson by more exciting teams, is a regular occurrence for them.
Sometimes they even get schooled playing teams with just 10 men.

it is the hyloathletics symbol thing.

There are words there but the meaning eludes me.

They are doing ALMOST as well as the blokes Wilder took from mid table in league One, to the PL, at this point of their first season.

So, not exactly ‘unprecedented’, no.

hah, sorry they are some athletic - (trainers mostly) brand that is recyclable, compostable and made from beans, he is in bed with them and all for saving the planet one trainer at a time or something.

Ah, I see.

I like Bamford, think he's a very decent player and a good shout for England. Think people are being very unfair to say he's average and not good enough.

12 goals so far with 16 games to go in the league is an excellent return and scoring goals is only part of his game, he's an excellent all round forward who brings other players into the game. And he wouldn't be the first striker in recent years to mature and reach the top level at a later age - Jamie Vardy was 27 when he made his Premier League debut and Glenn Murray didn't score double figures in the premier League until he was 33.

What is also good about last night is the Palace fans don't like him at all after his loan spell there so that would have hurt.

I suppose, the issue is, we're not short on that area

Kane, DCL Rashford, Ings would all fancy playing up top.

I don't see how Bamford makes the squad

England are the opposite of Brighton. Loads of compelling attacking threats, but not not loads of options at centre midfield or defence

Caicedo is a 19 year old who has played his entire career at high altitude and who is renowned for having 'an engine'.
He'll be able to cope with a possible 20 minutes against Leicester reserves.

Actually think there is a real case for not having too many strikers anyway. What is the point? DCL covers Kane. Rashford and Ings offer something different. Why even bother with someone like Bamford (as well as he has done this year) when we have to try and get Grealish, Foden, Sancho, Maddison, Barnes, Sterling, Hudson Odoi, Mount etc etc into the squad.
