While it was Wilfried Zaha who scored the equalising goal, Max Meyer’s late substitution played an important role in the Eagles rescuing a point from their game against Brighton (BBC). When he came on, the midfielder played impressively well.
Fans recognized this impressive performance. When the club tweeted out about the player’s impact fans quickly responded agreeing with the statement. They think he should be starting games instead of making an impact from the bench.

He looked hungry. And wanted to drive. We need that from midfield a lot more. We should be able to contain teams with 2 cdms. Which means Roy is getting it tactically wrong or he’s bottled dropping one of those three.

How he doesn’t get a start is beyond me, the game changed from the minute he had his first touch.
It’s clear we struggle to score goals due to creativity issues, yet we have a player that was playing for a Top 4 team in Germany that has an understanding with Wilf that doesn play— RyanJW (@RyWa28) December 17, 2019
We have all been calling for him to start for over a year now and in the middle. He’s a quality player.

Should Max Meyer start against Newcastle next weekend?
Yes
No
Some fans think the team’s game against Newcastle next Saturday is the perfect opportunity for Meyer to start.
Max has to start on Saturday

Max has to start Saturday. He’s link up play with zaha is spot on

What do we think?
After Meyer’s impressive performance coming off the bench against Brighton, Roy Hodgson will have a lot to think about when picking his starting XI for the team’s trip to St. James’ Park next weekend. If the English manager does decide to start him, these fans won’t be complaining.
