Eberechi Eze. This guy won't be playing no more than a season with Palace. Been to Loftus Road a couple times, his acceleration combined with his dribbling is a problem.

Plays in the 'No. 10' role, he constantly changes his speed to create indecisiveness with the nearest challenger. Requires a prime Kante to keep up with him, at times.

If Zaha stays, Palace should finish close 10th place.

A budding partnership

If Zaha stays, Palace should finish close 10th place.

We just loaned them Conor Gallagher, so I will be paying more attention to them this season.

Van de Beek is a terrible signin'. There's clearly no place for him in the side. This is like when we signed Fred.

Lmao rebuild.

If we don't win a trophy this year Ole needs to go

Totally agree. He's even more attacking than Fred. Playing him in a midfield 3, with Pogba and Bruno would show a lack of tactical nous and poor player evaluation.

So I'm sure Solskjaer will do just that.

Interesting thread on Chelsea spending and FFP..

 

[toheeb27]

@Hundredeyes its so funny, half of dem boys are overrating Donny and half of dem are underrating the kid.

 

[DNB1]

lmao man think the same 11 can play every game and win trophies...

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Im not sure what to think of Donny, abit underwhelming... Box to box midfielder, which is always handy...

Bruno needs to have more of a rest this/next season... So I do think we need more depth in midfield so we dont burn out players out...

Pogba, Bruno, Donny and McSauce (and Fred if he stays) is a solid CM first team squad... We wont need to worry about being weak in middle when he rest any of them...

Lol. Issue lies more with the fact that Solskjaer wants to play out from the back.

The most important player in that style of play is the defensive midfield/the nearest midfielder to the backline.

Matic is the only one in the squad who can fill that role competently, yet still he doesn't have the athleticism to shield the backline and can't be relied on to play majority of the matches with this season having such a bloated fixture list.

The important target for Manchester United, this season should be a defensive midfield then a right winger and so on...
