I think we missed him badly. But nothing would have changed the result we were done by pace got to give credit to crystal palace.
I was over the moon when we signed him but my mate who supports Everton rang me straight away and said dont like to tell you this mate but youve bought a turnip sadly he could be right.
I haven't watched MOTD yet but my recollection was that we weren't outdone by pace we just couldn't deal with the long ball pumped in by the left hand centre half - Seb would have at least had a go at closing him down after the first one cos none of the forwards were, Defoe and Wickham dropped off and Fletcher had a bit of a stroll towards him while he launched the ball toward the opposite corner of our 18 yard box - our front 3 should watch that game to see how forwards can and need to close down!
The way Jack's played (when fit), we'd have been better keeping hold of Alfie, and spending 10m on a decent centre back.
