Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Palace podcast. I am your host today, Dan Tanner. This is, I think, my fourth or fifth one this week. So, yeah, let's get right down to it. It's been a long week of podcasting. At some point, I will take a break.
00:00:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know I will. We'll get the weekend out of the way and then we go from there. So, and the talking of this weekend, we've got the preview to the Ipswich game today. I'm going to go relatively quickly through.
00:00:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
the the team news, especially on the Palace side. There is some more Mateta news, more transfer gossip that has come out a couple of hours ago. so we're going to have a little bit of a back and forth in that.
00:00:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then finally, probably repeating myself on the score prediction and how I think the game's going to go. but as you As a football podcaster, about 45 to 50% of the things I'm going to say on this are probably, yeah, I'm probably repeating myself multiple times. I'm probably gonna repeat myself doing this. So we'll just have to wait and see. So yeah, keep a little a bingo card for every time I repeat myself.
00:01:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But to start with, we're going to go with team news. And besides the usual team news of the long-term injuries that Palace have had, which i we keep bringing up, but they're still part of the team news. So we kind of have to keep doing that.
00:01:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
The other notable ones are the obvious. John-Philippe Mateta will probably not be in the squad.
00:01:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Most likely won't be in the squad from what Glasner was saying in the press conference, not only all little over an hour ago as of this recording. He's relaxing at home, going through essentially concussion protocol which I think the FA brought in a couple of years ago just to sort of make sure that so when a player goes down with a head injury, there is ample time to recovery as we're still not entirely sure what happens when way there is an injury to the head. So right it's better safe than sorry.
00:02:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
So he's relaxing at home. he we might He might be in the stadium. He might come and get a go into the director's box or something and watch it from the sidelines. But don't I wouldn't expect him on the bench.
00:02:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
But probably back in training, probably after the weekend. Monday, maybe Tuesday. So hopefully we all it's all okay and there is no long-term effects.
00:02:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
But as from yeah from the hospital scans and everything, and they all came back clean. So we're all fairly confident that everything is fine.
00:03:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
The other notable app absentee this week is going to be Will Hughes, which is a little bit more, maybe not more of a a sort of thing to the team.
00:03:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it's definitely going to be a little bit of a workaround as Hughes over the last couple of months has been a real sort of a real star of the team has really been sort of pushing forward for that leadership role, etc.
00:03:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've been bigging him up ever since he's sort of the Man City game. So, and yeah, again, that's me repeating myself again. So that's one in the bingo card. But The next sort of, yeah, he's been going to get a two-match ban for collecting 10 cautions. So 10 yellow cards over the course of the season.
00:03:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
that That's just going to be sort of annoying, but this is why it's a team game. So with those absences of Mateta and... Will Hughes will step up Enketiah up front, probably playing alongside Eze and Ismail Assar.
00:04:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it could be a quite interesting sort of dynamic there. You won't have the powerhouse of Mateta barreling forward and pushing over sort of defenders or anything like that, but we might get a little bit more of intricate play.
00:04:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sar will probably be required to sort of be a little bit more of the target man, I think. But I think he's goingnna be it's going to be an interesting one because Enketiah does need to get some minutes under his belt.
00:04:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
He needs a good 70-ish, 70, 80, even a full game or two to get kind of into form and maybe sort of give Mateta some actual kind of competition for the the attacking role.
00:05:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's been doing, he's got two goals in the last couple of games. So his confidence is going to be up there. He's going to be up for this. And with Will Hughes out of position, out for a couple of games, Wharton is probably going to start...
00:05:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
which he's been doing already so far, but I think more he's going to be playing more of a full game, playing bit more of that playmaker, which is kind of what we've been looking for and what he's probably there to do.
00:05:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Also you're probably going to get probably as well playing in that central field with him will probably Lerma pushing sort of as those sort of initial midfield partnership.
00:05:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
You might even get Kamada, might even get a little bit of game time as well. Just I think probably Kamada will probably be the last 10, 15 minutes of the game just to sort of either try and finish it off or just to, yeah, be a little bit more of a creative threat because he's not much of a, say, physical specimen when it comes to it, but very technically gifted player, I think. just I think he just needs a little bit, like Nkazia, just needs a good few games under his belt to just get moving, really.
00:06:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
think that's more or less, besides from the... yeah Yeah, the the long-term injuries that have been plaguing us are still going to be in effect. So Riyadh, Decore and Ward are still no longer available.
00:06:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
So with that, I think we'll take a quick break and thank our sponsor here at... at Global Sports Podcast Network. And after that, going to talk even more Mateta with some transfer news that has come out in the last few hours.
00:06:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we'll be right back after this.
00:07:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back with a Daily Palace podcast brought to you by Global Sports Podcast Network. I am your host today, Dan Tanner. I'm all on my own, so nobody gets to stop me talking.
00:07:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yay! Right, the next. And I did promise some more Mateta news. So, more news out. from the gossip pages of the BBC, The Sun, and all these other reputable sources, is that Mateta is apparently on the radar of Man United, which, to nobody's great surprise, as they are still looking for a Premiership quality centre forward.
00:08:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
as they are They are struggling. There's no two ways about it. They are massively under the cosh, and I think they need a good sort of centre forward of premiership quality, which Mateta is at the moment. I think at the as it stands, he probably is the on-form striker in the premiership, if not...
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
The, but definitely the top five strikers in the in the league at the moment. It also probably helps that he got a couple of goals against Man United at Old Trafford recently.
00:08:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, that probably took didn't didn't go unnoticed. But this also comes in the same week where Wharton was scouted, in quotation marks, by Real Madrid, which I'm still not totally convinced is what if he actually was scouted or not. But it's it's reported, so there's a decent chance that it was.
00:09:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
But this interest also sparked... also sparks interest from Man United again, because who else? and And the Arsenal are also apparently looking at Orton.
00:09:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
But this is just kind of what happens with the top teams in in and in a in the UK and around the world. As soon as one of them takes an interest in a player from one of these so middle teams, they all go up like meerkats, like, ooh, what's that over there? That must be something. He must be good. He must be... And yeah, so...
00:09:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
supposedly Palace have put a 40, 50 million price tag on him. But it's just, this some of this gets a bit silly. It is only March. There's still couple of months left.
00:10:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
But back to Mateta. This one, I'm kind of not sure on, mainly because, well, for Mateta, it's kind of a sideways move. It's not even, maybe not even sideways move. It's slightly...
00:10:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's a slight downgrade if you want sort of performance wise. I know Man United a sort of glory team. They're a big team. They've got all the resources they could ever need, et cetera. could get a bit of a pay rise, et cetera.
00:10:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
But, you can't help ignore that they are struggling and struggling, struggling big time. So for next season, I would expect them to be, to have kind of the same problem that Chelsea had couple of years ago when they didn't make the Champions League was there's going to be a fire sale. There is going to be an absolute rebuild for the next year or two.
00:11:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
And yeah, I don't think Mateta would kind of want to be a part of that. why do that when he's already at a club that is going to be kind of fighting out made mid-ish table anyway, maybe even pushing a bit further?
00:11:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
And also the fact that at the moment, I know this is slightly long shot on maybe hyperbole and wishful thinking, but Palace have a slightly better chance of getting European football than a Man United at the moment.
00:11:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, one, we're slightly higher up the league, but we've got a pretty nasty back sort of 10 fixtures. We've got to play City, Liverpool and Arsenal, I think. Maybe even Chelsea in there.
00:11:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chelsea or Newcastle, one or the other. So that's going to be interesting. But we're also still in a cup run. There is a still a distinct possibility of us winning the FA Cup, which is a European spot.
00:12:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
So i don't know why you would even so even consider that at this point. But that also being said, it is March. It's still two or three months before the before the transfer window opens up again.
00:12:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
So this is all all of this stuff is theoretical and just sort of theory, basically. None of it's anywhere...
00:12:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
confirmed or denied or in any kind of writing shape or form. So we just have to watch his space. But for Mateta, I think he'll be perfectly fine here at Palace. I don't know why you would want to go to Man United because at this point, as I said a minute ago, it's a sideways move, much in the same way as a lot of the other Palace players.
00:12:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
team Palace players are linked to bigger clubs like Gehi to Newcastle or Chelsea. It's a sideways move at best. Eze to Spurs, a sideways move at best.
00:13:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
So um these some of these big clubs aren't as so prestigious as they used to be. So we'll just, yet again, have to watch this space. But just another...
00:13:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
another run-of-the-mill week where a palace Palace player is being linked to a top side. And with that, I think we'll take another quick break to thank our provider here at Zencastr.
00:13:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then we will do do the score prediction and game prediction, what I think will happen. Very much reiterating what I've already said on the crossover,
00:13:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Just in case you didn't hear it, you get to hear it again. So we'll be right back after this. Here at Global Sports Podcast Network, we spent a lot of time selecting our delivery platform.

00:14:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm your host, Dan Tanner. And we're now going to go into score predictions. So... if you didnt If you did hear the crossover, you'll probably this won't be a big surprise. If not, it's all new to you.
00:14:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I said on the crossover, I think it will be to Palace. Maybe slightly leaning towards 3, but I think it's probably more likely to be a 2-1 victory to Palace.
00:14:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
victory to palace I would expect these goals to probably come some point in the second half, somewhere after the 50th minute.
00:15:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe 65 will be the first one, as the panelists don't exactly come screaming out of the tunnel, going at sort of top gear at full throttle.
00:15:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Its first half is very much contain the ball, make sure the opposition can't get past you, and hit on the counter. So, and without kind of Mateta being there, being the big powerhouse, it may be a little bit tougher to do.
00:15:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
and it may be a sort of a little bit more of passing it out. It might not be doing full, almost route one counter football.
00:15:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it's going to be good. I think it's still going to be a a a victory for Palace. We need to sort kind of push forward and make sure we can sort secure this mid-table position and maybe even try and get sort of into the top 10.
00:16:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
You probably even, if you were a neutral and sort of watching this game, you would probably think Palace would be the favourites. Just kind of on a form alone, we are one of the in-form teams.
00:16:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
the The only but in this sort of equation is the fact that it's a home game. And we have not got the best track record when it comes to our home form.
00:16:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Besides from the recent victories against Villa and the FA Cup victory, we have only got 11 points from home. which is just, I, which is kind of embarrassing really.
00:16:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Some statistic that 67% of our points have been away from Sellers Park. So if we can try and get a little bit more, even a couple more wins at home, especially against teams like Ipswich, because in our last 10 games, as I mentioned earlier, we've got city, we've got Arsenal, we've got Liverpool on the last game of the season.
00:17:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
So if we can get some points off some of the relegation battle teams, I think it will go a long way to securing that sort of mid-table and even push-up forward.
00:17:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
But with that, I think we will leave it there. If you've listened this far, thank you very much. Give us five stars on Spotify or Apple or wherever you're listening to this on your podcast.
