Nobody is talking about binning him completely. Just saying we need an upgrade as first choice RB for next season.
At the moment, James is struggling to kick on and with the exception of Mount, so are our other Chelsea boys. I'm personally not in any hurry to see us sell any of them. At worst, they're already useful squad players and only time will tell if they can up their levels to be first choice players for a club which wants to win the league.
Call me stupid, but I think the Brighton game on Tuesday (will be a tough game to win) is more important, so I would bench the likes of Mendy, Rudi, Christensen, Puli, Kai and Kante.
Anyone who isn't very good at defending shouldn't really have any position in the defence, especially for teams looking to challenge for the big trophies.
For me, one of his big problems is his physique. He looks more like a Rugby League player than a footballer. He's a bit too big and bulky which makes him a bit too slow in his reactions and movements and a bit one paced, which also makes h look a bit lazy at times.
Hope im wrong but i think the Spuds will win this, mainly because they need the points much more than Utd, who are looking happy enough to stroll along for a point.
Great result which brings Leicester back into the scramble for top four. Got as difficult a run in as ours too.
Have to start taking West Ham as serious contenders now, especially with a far easier run in.
This!
Give my MOM to Mount.Would have been Kai, had he put away a couple more of his chances. Puli was tops too. Only slight disappointment was CHO. Did quite well but again he lacked end product.
Grim being a Palace fan putting up with this shit year after year.
I'd have tried something completely different and give CHO a chance down the middle with James as WB.Could hardly do any worse than the others we've played there.

True, but Liverpool and Spurs have also dropped a lot of points they shouldn't have.
Really, so much mediocrity in the Prem this season. Only City, Leicester, West Ham and Leeds should be pleased with their efforts in the league this season.
Anything less than a win will be a bad result! Not liking how we're playing under TT, but at this stage I'll take yet another ugly win.
The way we set up and with our strikers being so shit, no game is easy for us, so we'll probably have to keep another clean sheet to win this. Only two wins in 6 in the league as well, so another tough match ahead.
