Jørgen Strand Larsen

He was involved in the win over Fulham.

And Timber and Strand-Larsen were earmarked for returns to training today as well.

Pierre Sarge was facing the media yesterday.

but he said that today they were scheduled to return to training, so we could see them back this weekend.

Saar equalises from the spot.

And then Strand-Larsen puts Palace ahead.

And then Sars scores again.

1-0 up, 3-1 down, all before half-time.

Now Henderson's back, I can't see Benitez coming back in.

I think Henderson will start.

I think the question for me will be whether Meteta, who's fit to start, comes in for Strand-Larsen or not.

Also...

That shouldn't automatically mean a 1v1 for them against our keeper, but the distances are too big, like I said, and we're just too vulnerable when we lose the ball, which under Glasner didn't really happen because the team was way more compact and they defended a bit deeper and these scenarios happened less often.

Um, there's been some chopping and changing with, um, with certain players like Mateta's now coming for Strand Larson, who's injured.

Saar hasn't fully recovered from his summer injury yet.

Um, brackets also wanting to leave the club.

Timber, they said, was injured in the press conference.

And Mateta back in for Strand-Larsen.

So, yeah, obviously that meant Kamada going back into the middle with Walton and McNeil playing in the 10.

So, yeah.

It's just one other than stopping the shot, as we say.

But yeah, so the game petered out.

The only real thing that happened after that is obviously Jürgen Strand-Larsen went off with what was a bad injury.

He jumped for a ball and landed awkwardly.

Quite simply, that is not good enough.

And when you look at the amount of money we spent in January on the likes of Strand Larson and Brennan Johnson, unfortunately, that meant that we could not spend as much as we needed to this summer.

And listen, I do think the squad does look deeper than it ever has done.

But in terms of quality in that starting 11, it has gone backwards.

You know, everyone knows I'm a big fan, but at one point he didn't mean a big fan.

I think he just brings more to the team than Strand Larson.

None against him, but in our setup, We're going to need someone to hold the ball up, link up play.

And he does that.

Dean Henderson should be back.

Timber is out, and Strand Larson likely to be out.

I'm going to back Newcastle to win, 2-1 Newcastle.

Yeah, it does feel like Newcastle.
