Despite the wretched finishing, he does look a handful to play against.
Off the ball movement, workrate, hold up and link up play are all excellent. The runs in behind in particular.
It could just be a case of giving him time and finding him...
It's true and it illustrates the strength of the Prem. Palace had half a defence today and they were exceptional.
But Brighton have Mitoma, Ferguson, Gilmour, March, Estupiñan, Webter, Milner, Enciso all out. It's why they've been so poor...
Brighton can play some terrific football but they're on a bad run.
They were dreadful against Burnley yesterday and Arsenal beat them comfortably away.
Liverpool have lost a lot of players to injury and still maintained a decent standard of performance. Players have stepped in and done a job in an organised system.
This is just so inept and sad to watch.
FDJ was an embarrassing chase but Case could still be a useful player for us if ETH just tried to get the best out of him instead of sacrificing everything to his single pivot system. It is hard to imagine SAF playing Scholes without Carrick...
It was noticeable how well-organized their forward line was in pressing as a unit - Pasalic, De Ketelaere have a high work rate.
Liverpool can be a bit predictable at times in the way they shift the ball as Bruno showed the other week.
