"% of League goals scored from set-pieces (including penalties) in 25/26 Crystal Palace: 54% Newcastle: 49% Leeds: 44% Chelsea: 40% Arsenal + Wolves: 38% And yet it's only Arsenal who get brandished as a "set-piece team" 🤔"

"However inconsistent Jean-Philippe Mateta's finishing has been this season. There are only [--] players that have scored more than his [--] League goals. If you told Palace fans [--] months ago that by the 27th January Marc Guehi would be a City player and they hadn't yet signed a replacement.

Given he still has a year remaining on his contract this summer unless they can sign a quality replacement I wouldn't let"

"I think like with a lot of things in football. the standard of play in the 2000s and life pre-VAR. there is a lot of misplaced nostalgia. I know a lot of people disagree but I don't think that's clearer than with the old Champions League format. Yes I am fundamentally against footballers playing EVEN more football. but when have the governing bodies ever cared about that But this group stage format. although a slog is considerably more entertaining (which is ultimately what they care about) Yes there is a questionable amount of jeopardy for a few poor results. But in the old format [--] wins"

"2nd phase from a set piece. Noni Madueke with a magnificent ball in his 1st League assist and Zubimendi heads home his 4th League goal of the season. Only Trossard and Gyokeres (5) have scored more League goals for Arsenal than Zubimendi.

"Aaron Anselmino was doing well at Borussia Dortmund.

"Centre-backs are really difficult to judge unless you're watching [--] minutes of them regularly. But everything I've heard and the limited amount I've seen of Jrmy Jacquet. looks impressive. But 55m up front for an uncapped [--] year old who has started [--] Ligue [--] games and only made his professional debut a little over [--] years ago That feels like an enormous commitment. Having said that. Liverpool need to sign [--] centre-backs this summer and a player of Jacquet's potential seems like a great start. Yoro Disasi Todibo Khusanov Badiashile Botman.

"Sunderland have already out loaned Anthony Patterson Aji Alese Arthur Masuaku Dan Neil and are reportedly in talks to loan Simon Adingra to Monaco. Geertruida to Liverpool is off. We've brought in a [--] year old winger and a back-up goalkeeper to replace Patterson. We had a very bloated squad and a number of those players weren't playing football. I don't think Adingra has been particularly impressive but it would make me slightly nervous in terms of depth down the stretch if we loaned him without a replacement. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018307431198036373"

"All day I couldnt really make sense of Palace signing Strand Larsen with Matetas move falling through Despite Matetas struggles this season surely youd be better off collecting a larger fee in the summer and signing a replacement at a less inflated price But Matetas injury explains it Still think 48m is pretty massive for a player arriving in poor form but needs must with Matetas out for months Strange day strange window https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018404861629374606 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018404861629374606"

"PFA Player of the Year is an interesting one this year. Often it's painfully obvious for example last season it HAD TO be Mo Salah. Arsenal are the best side this year but it's very much a great team there haven't been too many extraordinary seasons. As it stands. I think Declan Rice is the favourite. I'd have thought the other contenders are (in no particular order). Haaland Rogers Bruno Fernandes Ekitike Igor Thiago Semenyo and maybe Xhaka.

"De Zerbi being fired is bad news for. Ethan Nwaneri with Arteta reportedly calling De Zerbi prior to his loan move. He believed the Italian was the perfect person to oversee his development for the next few months. But particularly. Thomas Frank. Surely if you are Spurs you are strongly considering appointing De Zerbi with immediate effect The idea of Spurs landing Alonso Nagelsmann or managers of similar calibre this summer feels like a pipe dream after consecutive relegation battles.

"Interestingly Dyche's 40% win ratio at Forest is the best of his [---] game managerial career It's all just been a cascade of one poor decision after another.
