Elm Park Kid McCarthy taking a lot of flack from commentators for his role in the Liverpool goal.

Out of interest - i'm assuming that he's our academy player with the most Premier League appearances?


Yeah and no mention of the quick distribution by him that led to the Saints goal.

Incidentally Arsenal got rid of Ramsdale because he wasn't good enough with his feet and he goes to a team that plays that way.
Also the defender was telling McCarthy to give the ball to the player who subsequently lost possession.

Sigurdsson presumably.

Yeah - easily 318 appearances for Sigurdsson compared to 150 for McCarthy. Robson-Kanu (94) and Olise (82) are the only others to have above 50 appearances.

EDIT: As pointed out below, Shane Long has 344 appearances (17,807 minutes). Sigurdsson played more minutes in the Premier League than Long (23,154). McCarthy has played 13,466 minutes; Olise 5,169; Robson-Kanu 3,324.

I often forget he's officially an academy graduate - he has 344 Premier League appearances (17,807 minutes).

LUX Glen Murray commentating on 5live. Everybody has a “cultured” foot, or, in exceptional cases, is a “cultured” footballer. Twenty times so far, mid second half.

He is also announced as the “ex Palace and Brighton” player

:roll:

Didn't he only do about half a season for us?


joint top scorer.

lol.

Did well but Palace manager at the time, Alan Pardew, “supposedly” went back on an agreement to let him sign permanently in the January because Murray had done well.

That's sad.

It was a shame he didn't make it here. Obviously didn't recover to the same level after his injury in the fogged off game against Fulham.

Talking of Chelsea. Cesare Casadei sent off in their Europa Conference League match.

iirc, he preceded big Marcus's loan spell, going off injured in a one on one in a home game and was never seen again….seemed decent enough.

History records that…

Ben Roberts joined on loan from Charlton in January 2002. He was standing in for Whtehead during injury and replaced Hahnemann after his loan finished. He played 6 times and finished on the winning side v Wigan, Notts County, Blackpool and Colchester before a draw v Bury and a defeat at Brighton in his final match before never being seen again.

For the record Hahnemann arrived on loan from Fulham just before Xmas in 2001 and also played 6 games; Wigan, Cardiff, Wrexham, Port Vale, QPR, and Huddersfield.

Meanwhile Jamie Ashdown had filled in for Chesterfield at home then in LDV and FA Cup games. All three games were lost alarmingly, for which he seems have taken the rap, and then Marcus arrived to take up residence.
