By Sam Brown Max Meyer hasn’t had the easiest start to life at Crystal Palace. Having made just four starts in the Premier League as an Eagle, the summer signing has failed to excite the Selhurst Park crowd. One part of the problem may be his lack of obvious position – something that was addressed by Palace assistant manager Ray Lewington at a fan’s forum.
