Obsessed with him?? He has started like one game since his early run in the side so I’m not sure why you think this? That said he really didn’t offer much at all when coming on.. beaten in the air the majority of the time and hardly got involved

Also thought redmond was pretty awful .. he always really slows the play down imo.. completely lightweight and very overly cautious for someone who’s meant to be one our creators. Thought ward prowse had another good game. Worked hard and some decent deliveries .. Cedric also one of our better players.

Sure but it’s still the championship. He’s scoring goals yes but how many do you realistically think he could get in the prem?. Che was scoring for fun there, billy sharp smashing it also,, remember how good Ramirez was at boro? I’m pretty sure if boufal and djenepo was playing championship football they would also look the nuts. Boufal is one of the most gifted dribblers in Europe and djenepo looks to have mane 2.0 potential and these two are struggling to get a consistent run of games rightly or wrongly in our side. I just find it hard to believe Bowen would waltz straight into the team

Can’t see him being better then boufal and djenepo personally . Bet both of them would tear up the championship as well.

Get your point but that would be pretty disgusting if we were happy with double what we paid. Think even 60m wouldn’t be enough atm we have a proven English striker that’s been as good or better then the likes of Kane aguerro Aubameyang here

Also have to wonder will we be able to keep hold of ings in the summer if he carries on this form?.. seems a long time since we managed to keep a player delivering at this level. I’m still on the fence with che but if those couple of unlucky efforts vs sheff Utd went in his situation could have panned out conpletely different

Not saying any of this is true . But let’s run with it if nketiah isn’t getting game time with Leeds but they want Adams instead it’s not exactly feeling like we are even on Leeds level of ambition with this move we would be given them a player they want and loaning one they don’t lol

Biggest things for me are getting a stable team together without keep changing the defence every week in particular. Stephens and Bednarek are getting the chance to actually form a partnership now. Tactically the change to the 442 but also playing in a counter attacking way is also huge.. I also find our form seems to be hugely boosted since Shane long got brought back in to play alongside ings. He has his knockers but it’s just working at the moment.. his amazing work rate and tenacity opens up more chances for ings to finish Still not really convinced with redmond and I personally think boufal or djenepo playing instead of him consistently would be a upgrade.. aside from that I think keeping this stable team together is the right thing to do at the moment .

Still think we should just relax on che and give it time .. ings is absolutely killing it right now and is seemingly working really well aside long . So no need to cry about this being a bad signing just yet .. our current strike force is working well atm let’s be patient

We are looking superb in the last five games so full credit for Ralph for turning it around,. Actually feeling confident we can achieve top 10 finish now. Although just to play devils advocate if you credit the good results of late fully to Ralph he also has to take the bad for the poor results and form we were in earlier in the season. This is a bunch of players people were saying are terrible and no manager could change that.. This is proving wrong now it just took a long time finding the right tactics and game plan

Like I posted about a page back he had consecutive games where he got to the byline and made clear chances one which ings scored vs Everton one which long fluffed .. one which Bertrand didn’t finish but all were great chances created by him also created goal for redmond earlier in the season.. I’m really wondering what some of you guys are watching he has looked better then redmond for 80 percent of the games. I really must stop reading this thread, one poor performance in a disjointed second string side and the daggers come out for boufal always

Our good run of late will probably not do us any favours in the board wanting to spend money. I’d rather have the points obviously but you know what we are like.. no emergency so don’t bother

Where you get all this from :0?

Pretty disjointed performance all in all which was maybe to be expected with so many changes.. probably worst game for boufal this season.. I’ve liked most of his performances don’t think the disjointed team helped but not much coming off for him. Adams likewise didn’t make much impact. Thought long was great managed to turn a floaty overhit Danso cross into a assist even with pressure from a couple of defenders.. I think long deserves his spot alongside ings in the first 11 atm he gives so much more then goals .. also quite impressed with romeau thought his decision making was good he’s quite good at making himself space and playing the right passes. Last thing Danso really doesn’t look like a fullback for me.. but he does have some good physical attributes, still leaves me wondering what he’s be like in cb position

Another way of looking at it, if Adams took some chances earlier in the season ings may not have blown up into the potential 20 goal a season striker he’s looking like now..I’m not too fussed if Adams is scoring at the moment as ings is firing hot and just about pairing ings with what gets him the most chances at the moment which may be long

I think I’d like to see this McCarthy Cedric. Stephens bed. Bertrand Jwp. Hojbjerg Armstrong Djenepo Boufal Ings Bit hesitant to move away from the 442 but I think this formation kinda helps fit all our best players into the starting 11 Armstrong can play most advanced of the mf and gives chance to get forward and create when in possession.. boufal and djenepo can be tricky and creative and both give more then redders.

In about 3 consecutive games he had skilled his way to the byline and created great chances think one to long one to Bertrand that they didn’t score .. same for ings at Everton was it? Same for redmond earlier in the season.. he’s been doing this consistently well.. I just don’t get the argument that he’s not creative .. as for losing the ball so do redmond and djenepo but for some reason when boufal loses it it’s really highlighted on here

I fully agree with LeG. Plus skillfull and best players are different things. The fact boufal had more completed dribbles then messi last year in la Liga also speaks very highly of his talent

Not sure why you thought that. Looked most likely player to unlock the door with hit runs in the first half.. done some nice linking up with Bertrand also.. tbh I think he’s way superior to redmond in every way.

This when he runs at them things open up. Looks like can create something out of one of the runs.. and got blatantly taken out when breaking through the middle..

Really ?? I thought he was the one player looking most unlikely to unlock the palace bus parking ?

any streams?

Love this team selection.. Boufal and Adams in great news

Must admit was quite surprised by his goal yesterday .. thought he always looked a bit of a donkey before this.. and also that his pace wasn’t really effective and tenacious like long.. but fair play he done everything right for the goal and it was a great strike also looked pretty decent on the break at times.. Still dont think I would break up the ings and long partnership right now and I think Adams gives us a different kind of striker with a bit more muscle and hold up play if we wanna change it up

Like I was saying before his appearance che offers something we don’t really have.. he’s got that power and physical side to his game that we don’t have with others .. high ceiling with che he’s got the hold up attributes and no slouch to go with it.. certainly a option for us that gives something a bit different let’s not write him off just cos he’s not starting
