We didn't find one for three seasons and we won't find another, unless SP is prepared to write a massive cheque, so we need to keep this one. One of the presenters yesterday made the point that FdB is one of the most respected managers never to have had any first hand experience of the PL and that you could watch as many videos as you liked, but there was no substitute for the real thing.

Watching the change from the first game it looked like FdB has got them understanding his defensive strategy & against West Brom it was more about transition from defence to attack, especially in the first half. The Ajax model is about doing everything as a unit. He knows there are goals in the team so needs to concentrate on the other end of the pitch & getting forward - not just hitting on the break but in a controlled way that doesn't leave you open yourselves. His four titles at Ajax seemed to have been based on the best defensive record each season so we could be looking at what we had at the back end of last season with a bit more football being played. Should improve our home form which would be more than welcome. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

With apologies for coming into this late but curious to know why Palace finished third in Asia Trophy standings when we don't seem to have played Leicester?

Last season, in addition to our pathetic attempts to defend set pieces, we were constantly caught on the break, having committed too many too the attack.
