I never suggested doing that, there was a clear path to evolve elements of our game without losing our ability to be direct, on the counter, pressing and counter pressing and winning second balls, we ditched most of that and elected for Jurgen's Thiago fantasy, which has turned out to be pure fantasy and to persist with Fab who is categorically not even a midfielder let alone a DM and nowhere near good enough with the ball given over half the teams we plays try and park the bus and let him have it easy
Loads of slating of Hendo for one miscontrol, even though Rashford was offside and both Virgil and Gomez could have stopped the goal, Virgil by being stronger and Gomez by stepping up so the offside was even clearer
Yet in both our opening games, Fab was absolutely shite, got hauled off v Fulham as he was hopeless with the ball and kept losing the man he should have been with or getting the wrong side of him, what Fab always does, and he did exactly the same for every one of Palace's good chances in the following game
Elliott shouldn't be starting, he's shit in the press, shite with his positioning in the triangle with trent and Mo and he doesn't create anything, just runs around a lot looking neat and tidy and energetic not being in the right positions
