Vieira for manager of the season. I’m calling it now.

He’s had a tough start to the season but they aren’t playing terribly. He will be fine.

For what? Palace punching above their weight right now. They've played Arsenal, Liverpool and City in the first 3/4 matches.

If anyone's getting sacked its looking like Brendan Rodgers. :laff:
It was call back to my earlier post I quoted above.

It’s all an illusion that stupid fans are gobbling up. He’s still a liability. Can’t break a press, can’t beat his man, which will be imperative without Partey in the team now.

Partey was there last season too. What makes Xhaka push up is Jesus drifing wide and/or actually attacking goal as opposed to Lacazette who would drop into a False 9 position. (even when he wasn't supposed to.)

Elneny isn't Partey but he's not a muppet either. If he plays solidly, then I don't see too much of an issue. I want to see the Saliba v Mitrovitc battle. That's where the game is gonna be won or lost.

Gallagher with the worst possible start to his Chelsea career.

Dreadful against Leeds and then sent off today.

Yeah you can make the excuse that he's playing in an unfamiliar position but that still doesn't excuse how bad he's been.
