Yes, highly predictable.

Plaistow has a point: Parish knew long time that Glasner was going and somehow disastrously spunks up near on £90m for two mediocre players (completely out of character for Parish who usually has a tight grip on the purse strings), the reasoning being a debatable mystery. Zoom forward to the...

The task has been handed to Sage for a complete rebuild. He's sorting the wheat from the chaff.

I've no problem with Sage, this is his first fully competitive match against a team we often struggle with. It's unfortunate that he has some lesser options to select from, the best players tend to leave.

There's no need to play 3 centre halves. Go to a standard back 4 and reinforce the midfield, control the ball in that area of the field.

There's nothing unsurprising. A team of squanderers and a half baked defence and a new manager who hasn't had time to work out his best approach yet versus a solid and unspectacular Moyes team. It's playing out exactly as predicted. BTW Mateta and Nketiah are both crap and the sooner they're...

As the season progresses we will see if the players brought in amount to anything - I'm thinking it's just making up the numbers on the cheap for those on the way out. Incidentally I haven't been particularly impressed by Guessand either.

Sell him, sell Mateta, sell Nketiah, and sell JRS and Esse - give those places over to those remaining and rake in £100m plus, go on Steve you know you want to!

Yes he's been found out. Never consistent enough to hold done a starting place, just a squad player who Arteta can rotate whenever.

Home win 2-0

Yes indeed. I expect set pieces to test the defence, an area where they failed last season and needs attention.

Some one had to say it. Although there's been a few signings the areas that need reinforcing have yet to be addressed.

The new Franca then.

Looks like Sage has a hotch-potch squad of varying ability and as of yet no definable style, character, or presence. It appears normal for the club to go into a new season not fully prepared.

The club improved greatly when he left.

In an earlier post I asked if Sage knew his first 11. There have been a few ins and outs since then, and I was wondering does Sage now know his starting 11?

Parish: "It's a fair cop guv, we've already been fined by the FA and I thought that was the end of it. To be honest I have no idea how those supporters smuggled that banner in, but to set the record straight I've had a word with their mothers and they promise it won't happen again".

Has it ever happened before that a club (any club) record signing has been in and out the revolving door in practically the same season? If not another first for the mighty Palace!

Everything costs more these days... In recent times Palace have forked out large sums for the likes of Nketiah, Franca, Strand Larsen, and Johnson, none of whom have thus far merited the outlay, the Johnson signing and quick departure being the most egregious.

Gone to Fulham for £30m, which is in Palace's spending range. It will be interesting to see how he gets on. Palace still haven't made any additions to the midfield.
