Robert Snodgrass may have a selection doubt hanging over him for today’s game but there are no such considerations around his enthusiasm and determination to start putting the season to rights.
Snoddy’s return from the shadows of a couple of years back has been a remarkable feature of the Pellegrini reign at the London Stadium.
And whether he makes it into the eleven today there can be no doubting the guy’s dressing room influence as he bids to help drive the team to their third away win in recent weeks.
He appears to believe the good times may be around the corner and a three pointer at Selhurst Park today would e the perfect start to a festive programme which could see us on a nine pointer and a huge rise up the table.
And he made his thoughts very clear on how we should be approaching the games in a piece on the club’s official website at https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2019/december/26-december/snodgrass-we-want-make-it-right-against-palace he said: “We need to start getting into that habit again of what we did last season. We’d go on a run of five, six games and we need that over the next month or so.
“The next four or five games are vital. We produced a great performance against Chelsea, and then we were a bit more convincing against Southampton – we had a couple of chances, a goal chalked off, penalty claims and things like that.
“We played some good stuff against them, so hopefully we can take that into Palace, Leicester and Bournemouth and try to kick on.”
“Palace are a great side. There’s no question about it. Especially at home as well, they’ve put in some great performances.
“They beat Bournemouth with ten men, they’re very solid, they have players who can cause you problems and they have a lot of experience in the team as well.
“We know it’s going to be tough, every game is in the Premier League. We look back at the game at home, and we believe we played well in that one, and two moments have killed us. Fair play to them they took their chances, so we will try to make that right.”
No one I’m this squad can match Snoddy for enthusiasm, commitment and esp prolific touches … such as on point crosses and corners. When he is missing all of that is also missing. However, sadly he is not a 90min player, esp will a goal or two in him. His recent potential goal misses are quite alarming. Love the guy and his energy. Wish he could up his game stronger for a consistent role in the team.
He is starting Roberto..😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍would rather have 50% fit Martin ir fabianski…wtf is going on ..
Oh no Roberto in goal was feeling optimistic until I heard the team news . He better step up today !!!
Roberto will play a blinder today . He can’t possibly be as bad as he has demonstrated .
There must surely be something about him he hasn’t shown . You don’t suddenly become a sack full of holes . Hope he holds his nerve today and keeps the defense together . Some catching instead of punching would be nice though .
So are martin and fabianski injured or has he picked roberto on form🤬
