Focusing on the match this weekend.. palace seem to be a hell of a lot more resolute, and while they gave Spurs a few chances yesterday, they probably came out of it with a lot more confidence.. is Zaha back for them?

We should be confident in beating them anyways, just don’t think it will be as easy as some people think. Hopefully Jose goes with the 442 diamond again and Mata/Jesse coming in to the tip with Sanchez and Lukaku up top..

I think the spurs can will have killed any confidence from them , As you said spurs missed a host of sitters and still beat them ,
I think its an easy win,

Savic with another two goals from midfield today we should be all over him offering all his family houses and brown envelopes and tapping him up for the summer.

What type of midfield player is he ?

Ok purely my opinion and I could be totally wrong but from what I have seen of him over past few months he is literally an old fashioned box to box midfielder on steroids.

He is tall and strong and really good defensive awareness but can pick out forward passes in the blink of an eye and he chips in with goals too.

He is still only 21 but already has 100 games with 20 goals and 10 assists from midfield all while having good defensive attributes too.

Young Roy Keane/Viera type player.. really has it all.. comparing him to a modern player would be like Vidal

reports today that we have an agreement in place for Jean Michele Seri to sign in the summer,signing him and Savic could do wonders for our midfield

I don't think we get both of them but if we did our midfield would be set for years I don't know anything about Seri apart from he is ivory coast I think??

Saying that if fellaini and Carrick are both gone we will need two midfielders but I'd say it will be one y9unger player and and experienced player.

Not a hope anyone in the north of England is signing Seri unfortunately

He is Madrid’s back up if they don’t get Kane too apparently..always disliked him as a player, one of the biggest cheaters in the game.. cracking striker mind you.

great player but i dont know if i would be too keen on him to be honest, will be 30 at the start of next season and is similar enough to lukaku, would much rather a young pacey striker

Think you're giving Lukaku a bit more credit than he deserves there, Lewandowskis touch/technical ability on another level completely to Lukaku. Best striker in the world and will be very good for another 4 or 5 years, Madrid likely get him though

Just get Seri some thermals from penney's, sorted.

Lukaku is on to something here...

Would be a fun thing to see pre season or at the end of the season. Not sure about the north vs south idea though. Imagine Utd, City and Liverpool fans all together vs the London clubs :P

Fan vote? So the Liverpool starting eleven then....

Trigger

I think it’s a good idea tbh, if they did it the way they do in the states, use stats to create a shortlist of the best players and then a fan vote to decide who is in and who’s out. Fans decide the starting 11 but the manager would use all the players during the match really..

They were fiercely contested in the states, definitely in baseball anyways mainly due to the winner getting home advantage in the World Series, this has stopped though from last year. The All Star game is a huge attraction, I was over in NY a couple of years ago for the one in City field (mets stadium)

And Martial gives the ball away straight away?

He breezed past Kante when he got his yellow card. Made it look effortless.

Will I Am Not

I think we might have played better with 10 men in the first half than with Martial. He was absolutely toxic.

Martial the biggest disappointment for me yesterday but tbf that's a typical performance from him.
He's way too inconsistent.
And tbf to Jose he's given him so many oppurtunities.
I wonder will he start v Liverpool. Jose can do what he wants as long as he doesn't **** around with the spine of this team. Leave the defence and midfield as it is. Then play around with the attacking options.

And he was given a shot up top too alongside Lukaku.. he failed to do anything of note, he is much better out wide where he has a run at the defenders.

Well I'm in flying form this evening anyway, got to take in my first Waterford game of the season with our own Pogba lookalike playing very well and the Blues picking up a good, comfortable win.

Nothing like live ball.

Anyway, to United news. I hear Spanish prosecutors are getting stuck in looking for a four year jail sentence for Herrera? I haven't seen any new evidence since the case against him was deemed not enough last year, what exactly has happened? Can't be great for his state of mind.

Saw some footage of Lindelof showing some leadership at the back at the end of the game v Chelsea too, lovely to see and apparently the deal for Savic in the summer is looking more interesting with his read into me comments though you really shouldn't

Made a run and played a great ball to Sanchez who ****ed up his chance and he had the assist for the goal with a bit of quick thinking/footwork. Not very good alright but toxic is a tad harsh.

He and Sanchez were well below the level they can reach, Lukaku didn't start great but ended the game in full on beast mode.

S.M.B.

As shocking as Martial was, his assist was absolutely pivotal and was nicely executed. Others would have taken an extra touch and gone for goal themselves. Not quite on the same level as his assist for Lingard vs Arsenal but not a million miles away either.

The difference in energy and intensity was so apparent when Jessie came on though.

I'm assuming Martial hasn't done enough to play himself back into the French squad which would be a big disappointment for him.

Not too sure what his future holds unfortunately.

Yes, we'd have been better off without the player who assisted our first goal in the first half?

Calling his effort toxic has just a touch of irony, no?

I mean, I love Martial but he was poor overall yesterday (even leaving the pitch he looked fairly lifeless). To say we'd be better off without him is just ridiculous.

Yeah, full of direct running, pace and power. MOTM tonight, caused them plenty of trouble. It was Bastien Hery stole the show though with an absolute worldie of a goal from outside the box

Oh, and why he left? Money bai For the first time in my many, many fruitless years supporting the club we are actually moving consistently in the right direction I feel, the insistence on playing out from the back would give ya heart attacks at times but great to see at the same time.

He is very similar to Pogba in the flesh, like from the stands, in body and movement. He had a goal incorrectly (from where I was sitting) ruled out, we had two disallowed goals on the night in fact.

Jealous of ye fekers been able to support your local clubs i refuse to go near the youths just cant bring myself to it.

Yeah, very very good player, very down to earth lad too, was chatting to him during last season when he was sitting in the stands beside me.

Great to get out and watch some matches, I’ve practically missed the first 3 matches this season as there is no way I can go tomorrow. Thankfully the Rovers game was on TV but it’s in no way the same.

Cork already looking heads and shoulders above the rest.

Just being a bit hyperbolic. Was disgusted with his performance overall.

JOSH is Waterford through and through, hands off

I have seen Pub arguments about Sean Kelly being a Waterford or Tipp Man.

Anyway still on high from Sunday. palace a tricky one coming up though

Cantona's Collars

An avalanche of players linked to us in today's papers.
David,Kessie,Gelsin Martins,Isco.

Guti tipped to take over from Zidane and end any interest in De Gea.

United have reservations about dealing with Levy over Alderweireld.
