Y’all are crazy. We held possession and equally had the number of dangerous chances. Great point to steal given the circumstance, but crazy to think Newcastle “deserved” it more.

It is rough on Hall, though. Crazy good game against Frimpong and Rio on the right. I think Rio has to be on the left and Munoz/‘addition yet to be finalized’ on right.

Lucky to get out with a point. Gonna be some growing pains the first few months but you can see signs of optimism. Really liked what Munoz brought as a sub

This game felt like last year. My take is that there are too many guys trying to do too much, while at the same time not really knowing what to do at all. Which causes everything to look like crap because nobody is on the same page. They need defined roles. More organization. And maybe they just need time to figure that all out. And hopefully they do, because I kept waiting for them to figure it out last year and they never did.

Looks like we’re in for Ismaila Sarr from Palace after not reaching a deal with Brighton for Minteh

Kerkez is fortunate I'm not the coach I've got him by the collar of his shirt in the locker room at half letting him know if another player runs past him this season when he has a 5 yard head start he's going on loan to a Club in the Championship. Just game 1 so nowhere to go for him but up right ? If he sucks again this season we need to send him to Fulham and bring in Robinson.

Anyone have a winger they can sell for €50m? Anyone?

I like Sarr. Maybe not as much upside as some of these guys but he can step right in and play in the premier league. Just don’t think he can be a focal point.

TBF we already have a couple of focal points. Szobo, Wirtz, and Gakpo (if he maintains current level).

I think Wirtz/Szobo are held back by the low levels of play supporting them currently.

Word on the internet is that we signed Barcola for 120 million from PSG.

Keep hoping we don’t. He has a role to play. We need depth and good squad options. He can play left wing, he can be the backup striker until ekitike is back. He can play behind the striker if need be. He’s versatile and plays pretty smart.

Maybe sell in January and or next summer depending upon how others develop and mesh.

I'd keep Gakpo as well for now, but only b/c of Ekitike's injury.



quote:

Ismaila Sarr will miss Crystal Palace's first home game of the season against Manchester City, amid links to Liverpool and Galatasaray.

It remains to be seen if Sarr will still be a Crystal Palace player after the summer transfer window closes on September 1.

In addition to Galatasaray, Liverpool have made checks on Sarr, though no bid or formal talks have taken place so far.




quote:

There was news earlier on Wednesday from Ben Jacobs and Fabrizio Romano that Liverpool are not going to make a third bid for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, who was seen as a replacement for Mohamed Salah.

And now French journalist François Plateau has revealed that Liverpool have now made a ‘second approach’ to sign Real Madrid forward Endrick before the deadline.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “The story around Endrick over the last two or three days is actually true.

“Because Italian clubs, Roma and AC Milan, have tried and put themselves in contact with agents to try and understand if there was room for negotiations on loan deal and loan possibilities.

“Aston Villa also made a call two weeks ago, but the answer from Real Madrid was always no chance, no chance, no chance, no doors open for Endrick.

“Now important to mention Liverpool also made a call to understand if there was a chance to sign Endrick on loan with a buy option clause, on a permanent deal with a big proposal. Liverpool explored the possibility to sign Endrick.

“But Real Madrid, and when I say Real Madrid I mean Florentino Perez the president, and Jose Mourinho the coach, decided to keep Endrick.

“So there is nothing in terms of chances as of today. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but as of today Real Madrid don’t want the player to go.

“They want him to stay with the shirt number nine. Then if at the end of December, Christmas time, Endrick is not playing on a regular basis, in that case we cannot close doors to another loan for Endrick as it was at Lyon last season.

“For sure it’s a situation to follow in January, but for now Endrick is staying and he’s prepared to fight for the Real Madrid shirt.”

This is where I parked my car.

If we land Sarr too, and keep Gakpo somehow, my outlook on the season changes.

frick me.. this is going to be a long season..

This MF is getting played through too easy

Frimpong ís a huge liability

For the love of god... end this idea of playing wingers interchangeably.. Gakpo does one thing well and hes playing on the right...
