Wharton

[DenTyler]

Just watching England v Albania. Wharton was too passive. Roy Keane said it at half time, neat and tidy, always looking to pass forwards, but as soon as Anderson came on, he was in the same positions as Adam but was absolutely demanding the ball. I think this will be why Anderson gets the nod to start at the moment.

Hate to say it, but Adam was very Kamadaish in his performance tonight. As you say, neat and tidy, easy balls, but nothing too dynamic going forward. Sadly I think you’re right about Anderson

I am of the same opinion.
What a signing by Nottm Forest, just £15 Mill from Newcastle.

Damn, was really hoping he was going to stake his claim tonight.
So are we worried he won't make the plane?

I hope he has the summer off.
Supremely talented, his Palace career has been stop/start with injuries/illness - including one sustained on England duty.

I look at this through the prism of a Palace fan and happy for him to get called up when he gets his big move.
It then becomes another club's problem.

It's his second cap and I believe Tuchel is a big fan, so I expect Wharton will make the plane. There's a lot of football to be played before the World Cup and I expect Wharton to be back at his best before the Summer.

its club over country for me. I never want to see an Eagle getting injured on international duty.

He's clearly number 2, at best. If Tuchel wants to play the current system he probably has no clear rivals behind Anderson but he needs to stay fit and up his game with Palace
I'm getting around to the view that he might be the player to move in the summer, assuming his stock is still high and we have scouted useful replacement options. We have already missed out by not selling players at their peak value: Zaha - by the time we were safe from relegation without him - and Doucoure. Arguably, Guehi as well. Of course, other players e.g. Mateta and Munoz are more likely to be pushing for a move so I expect he will stay
