Ismaila Sarr

Why can we never identify young talents like him ?

 

I mean I was his biggest critic when he was with us, from his transfer fee, to the performances and everything In between.

But I’m happy to hold my hands up and say I was wrong and it really is just that we’re a basket case of a club.

 

Delighted for him.

 

Really happy for him.

He's a player who is quality if used the correct way. Sadly we didn't do that, and over time his confidence dropped massively as a result.

We wouldn't have got promoted without him, so I certainly wouldn't begrudge seeing him get a winners medal next month.

 

He's one of a dozen or more who have shown this with their performances elsewhere.

 

Is that ex Barcelona B team striker still banging in the goals in Turkey ?

 

Difference at Palace is that he is not the best player in the team, he is not the clubs record signing. His signing for them was not putting all your eggs in one basket. He is five years older after playing (up to this season) more than half his games with us.

No doubt a good player. But for us, the wrong signing at the wrong time. Would rather have seen us spend that money on Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins.

 

Though of course wouldn't have needed to spend that anywhere near that amount on either. We did such stupid business late on in the PL stint.

 

Wasn't at Watford during the 10 minutes that Garcia was our manager !
GRACIA !

 

Happy for him (and Hughes)!

Granted the City that Palace played today are a shadow of the one we played in the final, but still - just goes to show what can happen when you show up (and actually play your best players... Not your second choice keeper).

 

Agreed regarding Sarr and Hughes .
TBF Citeh battered Palarce, the ball just wouldn't go in . That's football .
I don't think Ben Foster would have changed the outcome . IMO.

 

City not a patch on team that destroyed us. Had they scored early could have been a different outcome but Palace goal gave them something to fight for.

 

Might have lost by less goals though, and not been quite so humiliated!!!

 

“Fewer” (in honour of @Keighley )
We’d have won 2-1 if Foster had played. I know this for a fact. A FACT.

 

And we would have won in '84 had there been VAR.

 

VAR being available would have meant we only lost 1-0.

 

What about our goal that was ruled out for offside that wasn't?

 

I must have had too many beers as that's a new one on me.

 

Me too !. @FromDiv4 will have to refresh my memory !.
