‘Sport science just got a little sillier’ – Crystal Palace fans react to player news

Our Crystal Palace fans here in the Transfer Tavern have not been too impressed with their start this season under Frank de Boer and you can certainly understand why that is the case.

The men from Selhurst Park were probably hoping that Sam Allardyce was going to stay put but after he walked away at the end of last season a new manager was needed.

de Boer walked in, then, but has so far struggled to get the team playing in his style with them losing all three of their games so far so there is plenty of work needing to be done.

The Eagles, then, will be hoping to turn that around as soon as possible, then, and they have been given a recent boost with Wilfried Zaha back in training – as per his Instagram and the club’s Twitter account:

Fans, then, have reacted to here’s the best of what has been said:

Like the protection. Are you going to be playing centaur forward?
