This is the problem. Our best player Palmer is RW and most talented wingers we have Hutchinson, Angelo and Paez all RW exclusively. But for LW we have only trash in Sterling and Mudryk.
With the way Petrovic, Gusto and Disasi are playing I think Lavia is our only missing player that is anywhere close to starting 11. So injuries cannot be excuse anymore like they rightfully were last season and a half.
He is eligible to play for France at Olympics. Ugo and Badi as well. Tournament at home... They probably wont miss it.
Slonina, Mydryk and even Enzo for their NTs also. This could affect our pre season and start of the season. This is problem when you have so many young players...
Agree on your assessment about his strengths but same can be said about Mata, David Silva, B.Silva and all played on the side. I think Palmer is solid dribbler as well and have some trickery in him.
