Laziest ever eleven

I was thinking Wilkins and Allen didn't really bust a guy for us.

To be fair to old Butch he only had about 30 minutes to make an impression.

Schlupp is a bit harsh. He had the odd stinker but was pretty decent in general.

sitting behind the goal in the Whitehorse, we visible see him not track back, lose his man and the other team scored, on more than one occasion. Scored the odd memorable goal, but the point is, he appeared lazy sometimes, which maybe is why we didn’t see much of him over his time at the club

Just a few off the top of my head

It's a bit harsh to call Jeffrey Schlupp lazy.

The man may have had all the directional sense of a Dalmatian trying to f*** a balloon, but one thing he wasn't was lazy.

There's a difference between a Billy Bremner or Dennis Wise type, built like an angry terrier and capable of chasing a lost cause into the next postcode, and a great big 6ft 4 lump like Christian Benteke. Benteke was never going to spend ninety minutes haring around the pitch closing down centre-halves. That's not what he was for.

Personally, I still think if we'd had two players capable of consistently putting quality crosses into the box, Benteke would have scored an absolute mountain of goals for Palace. Oh wait, we did. Unfortunately, Roy was not a fan of that.

If we're talking genuinely lazy Palace players, you're looking more at the Iszak Zohar category. And I still remember Fitz Hall's performance in that 5-0 hammering at Wigan that did for Steve Kember. That wasn't a lack of ability. That was one of the most spectacularly idle performances I've ever seen from a Palace player.

And as for Tomas Brolin - good shout. He wasn't a box-to-box midfielder. He was more of a buffet-to-buffet midfielder.

Schlupp…..see above 👍

As for Brolin, he worked his socks off against Leeds when he was on trial, we were thinking, hmm, he still looks lively, if a little on the porky side, but as soon as he got his contract that was it, he’d done enough, full lazy b****** mode
