We won't get any better...

...playing Schlupp in central midfield.

It's absolutely baffling how someone (Vieira) has had 5 weeks (FIVE!) to look at this team and review our performances before the break.

We were toothless in midfield and most importantly for me, we lack any footballing intelligence and nouse in the middle. We need someone with an IQ above 10 and the ability to think creatively and one step ahead most other players on the pitch. We don't have that. Our players in the middle seem to be soft and dumb. Look at the VAR review today by the ref. Fulham immediately had 3 players within 2 meters of the ref, our bunch of wet blankets shuffle over, make no attempt to disrupt the Fulham players' influence and just politely watch - when will be become savvy and actually try to get the extra edge most teams have over us?

This guy in central midfield is now symbolic of where we are at.

You cannot tell me we will get any better as a side with Schlupp in central midfield, it's only going to get worse and worse. I want this guy out of our team, he's another hangover of the Hodgson Dross Era (along with Ayew) - please please please Palace get a proper central midfielder in and stop this dreadful experiment.

We all have other jobs, other things going on in our lives, yet all we need is 10 minutes at a game to see how painfully obvious it is that such a passive, ineffective midfield is sliding us down the league - I'm fed up with us not being able to control the middle of the pitch. Sorry to be crass, but does anyone else just think we're a bunch of pu**ies in the middle?
