Alan Nixon has reported that Marc Guehi could join Liverpool. Alan Nixon has a reputation for being used by agents, but for Palace it's well known that his source is Dougie Freedman and I don't think he'd want to sour that relationship. Its been known that Dougie is high on Ben Doak. So it may be in the summer we work out a deal where Liverpool get a left footed CB for a big market discount because he's in the last year of his contract and there's a player exchange involved. One to keep an eye on for the summer.

Thought we looked like a side that were knackered after an intense period of fixtures because there's not enough options. Fortunately Eze bailed us out with a moment of class. It was a nice reminder to the board that we need to make signings this January regardless of what's going on at boardroom level. But it would be very Palace to see a couple of good results on paper and for them to decide that all of the problems have been solved.

I don't like the Continental Classic as a concept but I did enjoy those knockout matches at Worlds End. They've finally given me a reason to be intrigued by Okada since his debut.

This was taken before the embarrassment that was the Liverpool game so your stats are more than likely worse now. This also doesn't take in to account the amount of free kicks won, which i imagine you'll be high on. Calafiori in particular against us was a total embarrassment.

They are the most insufferable team to watch live with Arteta's "marginal gains". All the time wasting and high fiving to get an "Atta boy!" from Arteta. The refs let them get away with it as they don't want to be called a disgrace from Lego Head and are well aware the other manager will handle themselves with decorum. Preferred them when we had to put up with AFTV.

These VAR checks have been painful.

Jordan Ayew is a national treasure.

I think Bruno needs to go from United. They got the best out of him playing in a 10 in a counter attacking team, I dont think the next good version of this team has him in it.

Sad it didn't work out for Baraja. What a player he was. Baraja, Albelda, Aimar, Vicente, Canizares, David Villa... all those 'Proper Barclays' sheep were watching the wrong stuff.

All kicking off in Palace land. And at the same time this has been published on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/zechariah-janjua-dean-sportsbank-alleged-rpist-ties-crystal-smith-9zcsf/ First thought was this could be someone with an axe to grind. However these are posts from a Palace forum in mid November. So i imagine the CPFC journalist's will be earning there money and we will find out shortly what on earth is going on. Nothing with Textor is ever simple.

It's 2024, everybody's got to have a philosophy, even if it means dropping points.

4 of the first choice back 5 are out, any team in this position plays Liverpool and it’ll be a similar outcome. They've also had there best DM missing the last seven games before this. One players are back they can push for top five again, which is only two wins away and contains Forest and Bournemouth. The season is still very much open and the mitigating factors make pressure on the manager unnecessary.

This is the big thing for me. They're unique in the sense they're a family. They're not a hedge fund that have the immediate contracts to take on a role and make a profit. There was always going to be growing pains. As long as they learn who cares.

Not expecting anything. Eze's out injured so I expect Kamada to start as him playing a deeper role when he came on for Eze worked well against Brighton.
