'Start Him': Crystal Palace Fans Demand More Playing Time for Out of Favour Summer Signing

Upon his arrival in the Premier League on a free transfer from the Bundesliga, Max Meyer’s signing was seen as quite the coup for Crystal Palace during the summer. However, the German has yet to make his mark at Selhurst Park, and fans have now called on the club to give the midfielder his chance.

Meyer arrived in south London from Schalke with high expectations owing to his reputation as a bright prospect in German football, and following the departure of Yohan Cabaye, it was expected that the 23-year-old would assume the role as Palace’s chief playmaker.

That promise has yet to be realised, however, with Meyer yet to start in the Premier League after Palace’s first five league games of the season.
