Crystal Palace (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[SWP's back]

He needs a game!
Ivory Coast may recall him

Good. He needs new legs.

 

[christened at st marks]

Hope the Derby, full team and one day less to recover, will hurt them in the second half, I'm starting to sound like PEG

Yaya Jesus and Sane please.

What is your logic behind playing Yaya?

He likes scoring against Palace?!

 

[mosssideblue]

Based on their showing against Arsenal—if they play in the same way—I reckon we’ll have a good outing.

Arsenal weren’t particularly good (or clinical) and Palace were there for the taking many, many times.

So were Newcastle but we managed to make it really hard for ourselves through not taking clear chances

 

[BlueNomad]

Keep Zaha out of the box, and don’t let him get any crosses on Benteke’s head and Bob’s your uncle!

But we still had a good outing (I was careful with my choice of words).

Whether the scoreline actually reflects our dominance will be up to our finishing.

And make sure we get as many crosses on Benteke’s head in their box...

mmmmmh - not sure a good outing is still correct but 3 points so what the heck

You must of been suicidal under Pearce. ;-)

And Ball

And Ball

Anyone would be under Ball, the weight of him alone would be crushing.

Just offers something different and I think additional height would help as Palace have a lot of big lads. It's a bit of a wild card and unlikely but he needs game time at some stage.
Also the schedule we have is shocking - we will need to rotate.

why is our schedule Shocking??

 

[The perfect fumble]

why is our schedule Shocking??

Because for the first time this season, our possession game against a static Newcastle, did not wear them down it wore us down.

Thats nothing to do with a schedule of games

 

[The perfect fumble]

Thats not Shocking
its down to the Opposition and their lack of ambition in that match
He's nothing to do with a schedule

If we play high intensity possession football then the schedule hits us harder, we don't sit back, conserve energy, let them have the ball and piss about with it, every game we play is full throttle. You drive your car like that all the time it'll soon wear out, no matter how finely tuned..

I don't know what that means.
