TV pundits Jamie Carragher and Robbie Keane were in agreement on Monday night that Patrick Vieira must address their centre-forward problem in the summer transfer window.
The Eagles were held to a goalless draw at Selhurst Park against Leeds after spurning several chances to win the match and move them closer to the top half of the Premier League table. They finished the match with 17 shots on goal but couldn’t find a way past Illor Meslier, who was voted man of the match at full-time for keeping Palace out.
Vieira started the match with a front three of Wilfried Zaha, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew with support coming from midfield via Conor Gallagher and Ebere Eze. The Frenchman turned to his bench in the second half to try and find a winner, though neither Michael Olsie nor Christian Benteke managed to get Palace over the line.
