Always the same. Lots of pace, dribbling and trickery but never an end product to show for it. He could do better than Palace but he's nowhere near the level required for the top teams. Maybe things could have been different had he trained under Ferguson for a couple of years, but at 28 that ship has sailed.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
My point being, he isn’t elevating them. He’s not carrying them to heights they couldn’t dream off without him so what favour is he doing them?
All fart, no shit.
Guy absolutely hates us, it's hilarious.
Nope. Still active. United related journalists made it a point to say the clause is still there.
So its Everton or bust then?
To be fair the team around him is lacking in quality. Numerous players that we consider stars would also be ineffective in that team. How many would Sterling, Rashford, Martial, etc score with that midfield?!
Textbook bitter ex-red.
Should have signed for Poch's Spurs when he had the chance.

How so? We paid almost 50m for Wan-Bissaka, seems strange we'd have also cut that close since we paid through the nose.
Wank stain.
He is a twat, always looking for a dive and moan against us. feck off Wilf
The way he protested that foul on Rashford for ages. Just move on you cnut

Has a chip on his shoulder.
He's been absolutely awful this season.
Palace tried to get it removed during the AWB deal but we refused.
That's not a necessary criteria of being a quality player. If you play with dross and your manager isn't excellent, you may not stand out. He's a quality bench player for a top team... Ditto with Grealish.
Thing with Rashford was weird. Handbags and all, but it happens.
I think he's missed his chance for a big move when there was still a lot of hype and potential around him. Now he's a 27, year old who, whilst clearly very talented, is incredibly inconsistent and has never really kicked on from the potential seen when he was young.
Big clubs just won't pay the fees Palace will ask for such little end product, but I can see the likes of Everton or Newcastle (if the Saudi money comes in) spending a wad on him, probably not this summer but next year.

The frustrated ex who always want to show off whenever you are in town .
Just move on.
Just move on.
It isn’t but he also strikes me as a player who only shines because he’s the fulcrum of a team. Top teams don’t need people hogging the ball and showing off how many step overs they can do. I know he was young but he’s been at a top team and got nowhere near it. I just don’t see it with him and I don’t see any top team desperate for a Zaha. If teams want a relative show pony Deulofeu is better and would cost a third of the price.
Maybe the 'new' Newcastle would be a good team for him to help them develop up a level.
Why was he so desperate to pick a fight towards the end? So petty 
I really, really, really wanna talk about his eyes. The fact that they never close make him look crazie than he is.
He looks like he’s permanently wired. So intense
We had Zaha and we let him go.
Our club never gave him a chance, and I honestly think he's a really good player.

Other than the goal, which was very well taken, I thought he was terrible.
Never been impressed with him at all.
Yeah same. Constantly making wrong decisions. He could have had a hat trick if he made better decisions. Good player but I think this is his level
One of my favourite players
He's a serious player now, so important for Crystal Palace
Didn't watch the game but heard he was very good and he was able to top that off with two goals.
Out of contract next summer...
Plateaued his own career with that long extension at Crystal Palace. Should have played at a much higher level
Nothing wrong with being Matt Le Tissier 2.0
Was excellent today.
A real shame Moyes did not rate him here, whatever the reason. He could have been important for us in the last couple of years.
I'm so surprised that clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham or even West Ham didn't get this guy yet!
Was linked to Roma recently.
Can see him going to a Napoli level CL club next summer.
Wasn't it because of the infamous affair with Moyes' daughter???
Didn't Evra basically confirm it a while back???

Don't get me wrong. I adore Le Tissier. Especially because he NEVER wanted to leave. Zaha wanted to play at a much higher level but hamstrung himself.
I would have him back, can play both lw and as a St. 1 year left on his contract he would be cheap.
Scored another banger today. 4 in 4. Best player outside the top 6?
It's funny how good SAF was at scouting players vs pretty much every manager that's come since.

Scored an absolute beauty.
Would be a shame if he didn't get another chance at a top club. Want to see what he can do at the top level.

He banged the gaffers daughter. You of all people should understand this.
Man was gutted.
