...possibly, but I’ve never been a fan, Zat. So many of his mazy runs are without purpose. I see him going infield, beating a couple of players rather than concentrating on getting goal side of his marker. He’s somebody i badge as a ‘complicated’ footballer, fans like him because he’s got tricks but he’s not for me.
Cant say I really take too much notice of him unless specifically watching a palace game and the ball always seems to go to him (perhaps as hes the commentators favourite). Hes looked very dangerous in some games and in others ive struggled to see anything past bolasie level frustration.
I wonder if he was Brands, Silva or Moshiris choice of player in the summer.
We sorted now on the left (Iwobi, Bernard, Gordon) and up top so unless we see him on the right i dont think he'll be considered.
He hasn't downed tools but he's playing like he knows he's off in the summer. He has always been doubled up on, sometimes with a third as cover and in seasons past that hasn't mattered because he will have generally managed to put a consequently free Palace player in. Zaha is looking poorer this season because (for me) Palace are poorer, with other players not making the best of his undoubted skills. Also, he plays better with another wide player, Bolasie initially, and latterly Andros Townsend, who has been injured for some time. Their presence would bring the best out of him.
Not sure his expectations of a move (or ours!) are going to come to fruition. I expect to see him in Spain / Italy / Germany next season.
Certainly surprised at the old players throughout your team yesterday. Very old side and doesnt seem like any forward planning to rebuild.
Im surprised Bolasie hasnt been considered by your management seeing as he seems to have been a fan favourite and you go with 2 wide players...and he would be cheap.
Is there any whispering on Bolasie or a permanent deal for the now injured Tosun?
