I think people speculate on this sight with good reason and information. In regards to Kolli it is obvious that he's just not happy here or that he is an alien. My uncle's cousin's mate, who is ITK says it's the latter.
If this is the case then Ryan and his family only have themselves to blame. He's a very gifted player but he's not God's gift. How many players get ahead of themselves and yes, Alfie Lloyd the model of how to work hard and take your chances.
Just to re-remind people that most fans screamed and moaned that Frey was cack until this season. Now he has found his feet and confidence. I feel Celar will do the same. As I've said several times before the first handful of times I watched Les Ferdinand I turned round to my dad and said, this guy is never going to make it at this level. I'm not saying Celar will be anything like Ferdinand but I really hope he proves a lot of fans wrong and comes good. You don't score 40 goals in 90 games for your previous club and have nothing, even if that is a level below this.
I love how we have a tradition of having these calm 'old' heads around the club over the years. Richard Dunne, Sean Derry, Clint Hill and now Steve Cook. Cookie does speak a bit like a veteran BA pilot.
Celar ahead of Frey was kind of forced on us. Frey got a knock in training and was unlikely to play many minutes and didn't play any. Celar (despite being consigned to the bin by many fans) needs time. Frey was last season's Celar for most fans. If we have Ashby we have to give him competitive minutes to get used to the system, impossible just in training. It's a squad game and that squad has to learn on the job. There are no easy games. As someone said earlier, this team actually played a lot better and with more energy than the supposed best team did at Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane has scored nine goals in five games this season and fifty three in fifty games for BM. If you want to be utterly sick (as an England fan) in the last game of last season he injured his back and as a result was cack for England and then has made a complete recovery, and can't stop scoring.
I think we have to remember that we were without JCS, Colback, Fox, obviously Chair (all injured) and apparently Frey wasn't 100% so it also shows that although we have a number of options that when we are lacking some of the better players that the squad is what it is. It kind of reduces you to having to play various regulars as impact players because of the 3 games in a week thing. The remarkable thing is how much loading both Cook and Paal seem to be able to take, especially Cook.
A fair effort tonight I thought. Palace just that bit better because of Eze. It's funny that for all of our quite clever interplay that some of our best chances come from a long pumped ball and the striker muscling their way to a shot.
I thought, considering the line up, that we actually played pretty well tonight. A lot better than I expected against a pretty much full strength Palace who, despite being away, were favourites as an established Prem club. No disgrace tonight and some of the player we are waiting to see improve, actually improved. Varane being one.
