He was on the bench so fit

But Wilf was so good he couldn't be subbed.

I suspect Roy wanted Schlupp to look after Mitchell so Eze (our only creative attacking midfield option) was sacrificed. The only Palace player on the pitch who can see a pass (Jairo) was far too occupied firefighting in front of the back 4, but on the rare occasions he had the space to be creative did some decent stuff.

The Schlupp tactic worked and reduced Lamptey’s effectiveness.
The problem is that many teams play with an attacking threat down the right.
Does this mean Eze has to be sacrificed each time we play such a team?
As a long term Roy observer I don’t believe he will play Eze in a central midfield position.
This means the only positions available to him are wide midfield in a 4-4-2 or further forward supporting a lone striker- a tactic Roy doesn’t usually employ.
I do fear for Eze’s development under Roy.

Eze should,in order to fulfil his huge potential,joined one of the many clubs after him, better equipped than Mr Hodgson to develop him as a player,rather than stagnate on the bench under this chump.

Spot on. Instead of putting them on the back foot with Eze we just invited attack after attack down the right.

Eze made his name at QPR as a central attacking midfielder with licence to express himself.
He will now have to play in a strait-jacket in a rigid 'Shape' and this system doesn't play to his strengths.
Square pegs and round holes spring readily to mind.Doesn't appear to be Hodgson's type of player.

Sorry to be boring - saying the same words time after time - but I do think that we have set out our stall well to attract our next manager. The question is who will say the words "out you go, show me what you can do" can be expected to produce great CPFC results. COYP

i thought Eze was a No 10 who had licence to roam.

When he has played he's been stuck on the left wing and reminds me of Zaha under performing there last season. Now it appears Roy prefers Jeff for his defensive abilities.

Maybe he was signed as a Zaha replacement but i still think we can accommodate both.

Wilf and Bats upfront don't offer us any physical presence and neither can head the ball (despite both being 6 foot!!). Maybe just play Wilf in the 9 and Eze behind, especially at home. Then Roy can still have 2 workers on the wings.

Thoughts??

If Eze is playing left wing in a 4-4-2 he will need to sharpen up his defensive game. That would be the same in most prem teams.

 

Vive le Roy!

Almost for me. I would move Wilf back to the left and play Eze with and just behind Batshuyai. There is no reason why Townsend, Zaha and Eze can't interchange those 3 positions during the match if they feel there is a weakness to exploit.

Schlupp/Ayew miss out under this scenario so I'm not sure it will happen.
