He does have moments where he makes you go Cor blimey!..but you are mainly right as he is very wasteful with passing very similar to the passing skills of PVA and Kouyate, they all need to sort themselves out quick.

i like jimmy mac, but the difference between the 3 is that we have had jimmy for a long time so there is that part of us that holds him in higher esteem.

the crux of it for me is all 3 are average PL midfielders, absolutely nothing wrong with that whatsoever, you couldnt see a team above us wanting to sign them, you could argue that one is better than the other but it would be very marginal.

whereas luca, and potentially max (a year os so down the line) you could see that happening.

Maine Eagle is usually absolutely spot on about Palace, see's the situation for what it is.

Isn't bothered about being shouted down by the vocal minority of "Hodgson's the greatest" brigade either which I admire.

Not nationality: the song. I don't buy that he's a hardnut.

As for Jedi? Unpopular opinion but that was the only good thing Pardew did for us long term, he needed shipping out. Always in the right place but it was meaningless as he would give the ball immediately to the opposition 2 yards away.

I don't think I need to realise anything Baustone, I just see it differently to you. We should aspire to be top 8 by playing a more positive form of football and utilising the technically better players over the carthorses.
Meyer and Kouyate over Schlupp and Macca in the middle for me.

Kouyate should be starting because he is a proper box-to-box midfielder and is probably the toughest of the lot, the tallest and positionally covers people very well. If he keeps it simple his passing is usually fine. Aside from his goals Luka has not played as well this season compared to the last, in my opinion. However, he is still good enough for us. If Meyer wants to oust McArthur he needs to toughen up. Technically Meyer is probably a better player, but McArthur just seems more effective at the moment and must be a pain to play against as he breaks up play well and is not afraid to put in a challenge and just seems to be everywhere. Despite a brief purple patch I still don't get what Schlupp brings to the midfield? He just seems lazy to me and all too often lets his man run off him. The things he does well is win headers, run at the opposition box and shoot, but his passing is poor and he rarely seems to tackle anyone.
