I know we are all tired of the boring and negative football being played recently. But it was interesting to hear TP say how much we had been missing Saido. Clubs are secretive about their weaknesses etc and maybe TP/JP are more so than many.
Maybe some of the negative style has been necessary due to absence and illness. Maybe TP would prefer the Palace (first half) approach if he had a fit squad. Maybe he hurts as much as us but does not show it or intend to declare his Achilles Heel to fellow managers.
Seeing a fit and positive Saido working well with Rondon and Sess did hint at what might have been this season had he and other not been unavailable due to tantrum/fitness.
Maybe with a tweak to the squad in the summer and either Saido staying or being replaced we might see more of this weekends style and getting rid of TP is not as critical as people think?
