Moving away from the weird 1970s-era comment, I do think we could do with someone in the middle of the pitch to bark orders and lead by example. Bright has talked about how quiet the team are, with McArthur known to be one of the few vocal players (and he's out obviously). If we were able to bring an experienced pro in who could organise the team and lift them when things aren't going their way, like Hendersen does for Liverpool and England, then I think that would make a big difference. Vieira has also referenced wanting some experience in the squad, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he's asked for too.

F***ing 'el. If we really wanted to descend into cultural, mass-labelling of our squad, completely separated from football, I'd look up 'Generation Z' which might be more relevant if anything is at all. Resorting to 'white players work harder' is a very strange comment indeed.

We probably do have the best centre backs outside the top 6. However, we have one left back, possibly the worst central midfield options in the entire division and amongst the weakest forwards. We have a few very good players. It's just the depth of the squad that is the problem. When you look at our bench it is the worse it's been for several years. Schlupp should never be playing centre midfield but he has too as we only have 2 others (Doucoure and Hughes) who should be any where near a premier league squad. If we have 3-4 injuries there is no adequate cover. Even 3-4 years ago there were better back up options. That's what fans are concerned about and the board's apparent reluctance to do anything about it. Originally posted by rikz

I'm embarrassed that a fellow Palace fan with our long tradition of successful black players can spout bollox like that. I suspect it's more that we currently do not have enough talent in the squad more than skin colour. I don't think anyone would have accused PV of not having enough spirit, determination and aggression back in his playing days!
