Palace team vs SC Freiburg

The opposition played good flowing forward passing creative football.

Munoz I think has played his last game in Palace top - will he sit out of Everton game I’m thinking yes will be agreement

Hughes was very involved tackling passing point of view - guess he’s no the mouth of Selhurst again

TBH - I get selling Munoz - he’s 29 with 2 years left on his contract - if we can get decent money for him then fair enough - now is the time to cash in.

Don’t see him going to Everton - why - they’re the same level as us.

Think you’ll find he’ll go somewhere in Europe.

Suggest that’s what the Khalaïli signing is all about - and he’s much younger and looks decent. If that’s the case good business.

But now Steve you’ll have money from Lacroix and Munoz - start doing the do and get in
2 quality CB’s - Le Guen and Matsima..?? Personally I’d go Bisseck and Le Guen.

Then a CDM Kees Smit (Keith Smith)..!!

We’ll have the money just do it Steve..!!

I don’t think Munoz will be the last outgoing - obviously JRS and Esse are going.

I wouldn’t rule out us cutting our losses on Strand Larsen - Sage unlike Glasner likes a more fluid and mobile front line.

We’ve got Mateta who is far more mobile and physical than Strand Larsen - that in mind don’t see where Strand Larsen fits in.

Mind you we ain’t going to get £47M - be lucky to get half that.

Time will tell.

It looks like it given the signings this summer but it's a big risk - especially if he is sold to a close rival. As proven by his WC showing, he is still up there with the best in the world. Last season, he was our most creative player, bar Wharton, whom he outscores
People talk about how much less he will be worth in a couple of years time, but there are a couple of counters to that. Some players look after themselves and last a lot longer. Wellbeck, for example, went to Brighton on a free at about Munoz's age and they sold him nearly 6 years later for 5 million. Plus you cannot discount the difference he might make to our finishing position. Every place is worth about 3 million, I believe, and if things go pear-shaped, his experience might also be needed to help us avoid relegation. I would definitely keep him until near the end of the January window. i believe the Europa group games are completed at the end of the month

Looking at other prem teams friendly results today our result seems very poor. We’ve looked off the pace in every friendly I’ve watched us in (Palace tv). I’m not very hopeful of any decent results in our favour for a number of weeks to come. Defending was poor today as was wingback play and pace getting the ball to forwards was non existent. We will get stuffed next weekend on present game time I’ve watched. Let’s hope the 3 that came up and a couple of others are just as poor. And that our squad are better than I think they are :-(
 
If we don't get a quality CB in, it seems like there is a good case for starting Tomiyasu, given his experience. He's likely to break down in training anyways, so might as well get some use out of him before that happens
Possibly turns out lucky that our first two games are ones we would be pegged to lose. Having Hull at home would have brought back memories of Huddersfield, 2017

Mate what are you going on about it’s not a matter of “if” - we need at least one quality CB in.

Tomiyasu - is a great free signing - but Richards can’t play central of a 3 - doesn’t have it in his locker.

Canvot - is fine and will be star, Riad - jury’s out for me.

We still haven’t replaced either Guehi or Lacroix - so as I it’s not a matter of “if” it’s a case of must do, otherwise we’re in serious sh@te..!!

Even if Sarge doesn’t want Strand Larsen I can’t see the Club selling him at a big loss although it probably makes sense. His first touch and physicality is awful. God that January window was terrible. Unbelievable almost…
 
Based on today there is a huge amount of work to do. The disjointed pre-season with key players not present obviously hasn't help but there's barely a resemblance of any clear patterns of play or coordinated pressing. There were times when we attempted to press but were so far off the pace that Freiburg could make a couple of passes and bypass our entire attack and midfield. That's a concern whoever is playing.

We desperately need some quality in the spine of the team. Lacroix's pace and leadership must be replaced and we desperately need more energy and guile in midfield.

I struggle to see how JSL is going to do anything for us, he's the weakest 'big lad' I've ever seen. Nothing sticks up top and then it's hard to get anyone else involved.

A huge week on the training pitch and it was interesting to hear Sage say that we will return to more familiar ideas that the players are used to.
