Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

Silva, lovely surprise. Dinho at RB a little scary against their wingers.

Silva! :)

That is some attack

[Don Karleone]

Same for us lot

Agreed.

Decent team that. Weak bench though

 

[Jacob Smith]

Good to have Silva back!

 

[aguero93:20]

Yaya needs to be up for a scrap with that midfield or we'll be in trouble.

 

[kaz7]

4 defenders and a goalie on the bench

If not for Gael's inclusion I would have suggested a possible back three (it's all the rage these days) but he is centreback like I am a classical composer.

 

[andyhinch]

Happy with that

 

[Mr HJ]

Not so many goals on that bench.

 

[Clercqs]

Van Aanholt and Kelly as centre backs? We should crush them really.

 

[SWP's back]

Do we think 343 or 433?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Looks like—and I was very much hoping this wouldn't happen as I thought it would be very harsh—Aleix was scapegoated.

Do we think 343 or 433?

We can only hope it's 433.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Do we think 343 or 433?

433 for my reasons above... for better or worse.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Never doubt @Bluwhit

Yeah I think even Pep's had enough of that experiment... Thought Navas would be in at RB given his performances there against some of the best left-wingers in the league; think he's done the job better than Dinho when he's played there. Either way I still like the team, we should be strong enough to get the win.

 

[kaz7]

I don't think we will score that many..

 

[Arthureros]

The fabulous three are back baby! Tear Palace a new one and all may be forgiven :)
