It's not the question of our talented players being off but more to the point of others who are less so letting themselves down by not being able to complete a simple task of passing to someone else three feet away ...and the cost of replacing them all with players of equal ability with the hope that they may actually be able to pass to another who is three feet away.
We are a gamble club, we cannot afford the players who are actually able to pass under pressure for the majority of time because they are all playing for the top six.

I don't think '' content '' is the right word because I'm sure we all want to see Palace winning games and playing attractive football.

I would like to see a season where we are free from relegation worries and I had hoped it would be this season. But it wasn't - and I don't think the reason for that is just down to the manager.

As for the more talented players leaving....well that's football. If Southampton had been able to retain all the players that they have sold over the last few years they wouldn't be where they are today.

Old, Ungifted and White

Top teams decide order by being able to purchase who they like.
Virgil van Dijk and poor Southampton.

That’s an easy one.

Not being in a relegation fight every year.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

So about six points more than we have at the moment, which we would have if we’d had a couple of half decent strikers all season.
What was the point of this thread again?

We could have had batistuta out there on Wednesday and we still wouldn’t have scored.

Strikers need service. Service means having a game plan which remotely supports the creation of goal chances.

Benteke was banging the goals in for us before Roy. Apparently Roy wanted Sorloth.

If you really believe that we would be pushing for Europe if only we had better strikers, and that Roy is absolved of all blame for our poor performances this year, then I say good luck to you.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.
