Progressive, mobile, covers defensively.

Okay, not a world beater and pisspoor in front of goal, but I think the best we can put in alongside Doucoure.

He would help. I wonder what Vieira dislikes.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

It's a crime that Schlupp starts ahead of him! Without a shadow of doubt Schlupp is the best player I've seen at making himself look busy without actually doing anything!

I think this is correct.
Schlupp's pace and power gets him the position for Vieira even though he's not a central midfield player which of course Hughes is.
It's a shame you can't combine Schlupp's energy and drive with the neat passing and anticipation of Hughes.
Then you'd have McArthur I suppose!
I can see Hughes being more as a substitute than a starter but I do like him as a player.

And where is Jairo, not saying he brilliant but surely should be on the bench

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

£8.1m is a lot to pay for a player who is no good. At least Hughes came for a bargain £6.3m.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Leicester are below us in the table but consider some of their midfielders compared to those on our books :

Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Ndidi, Praet, Soumare,Mendy.
