Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

Just arriving at the stadium, thank you lads and lasses for the last 30 mins entertainment.
We are playing 11

Thank God.

I keep looking at that formation and thinking it's a 3-4-3 with Walker and Delph as wing-backs, but what if it's a 4-3-3 with Laporte at left-back and Delph behind Gundogan and Bernardo?

I think Laporte left back

 

[aguero93:20]

The front three are going to have to be at it. Scud, hopefully, but I don't see goals from elsewhere in that XI.

*places bets on Laporte and Gundogan for first goal*

 

[mosssideblue]

Given that line up and formation, going to be very very tough today.

How would you have lined us up

 

[cookster]

Traffic is fucking horrendous.

 

[SebastianBlue]

How would you have lined us up

In front of a firing squad, by the sound of it.

 

[aguero93:20]

How would you have lined us up

4-1-3-3

Danilo
Stones
Laporte

Ederson

Foden

Bernardo

Sterling
Jesus
Sané

Suppose it's all about rotation, peaking for the biggie v the dippers...near enough a cup final for us both.

 

[super_city_si]

I’d prefer we play gundogan at Cm with foden and Bernardo

Do OGs count?

4-1-3-3

Danilo
Stones
Laporte
Delph

Ederson

Foden
Gundogan
Bernardo

Sterling
Jesus
Sané

I think I will go with pep on this occasion - no offence although the Eddie in midfield approach brought a smile

 

[ojeme]

0-1

Think the fullbacks and Stones could get caught out a few times today so Eddie, Nico and Laporte will have to be on top of their game. Luckily Hodgson is ultra defensive so they might not venture into our half that much.

 

[kaz7]

Lets be positive 10-0 then just keep the ball for the last 45 mins

 

[come-on-barney]

0-1

Nah 0-5

We can stick a green shirt on him and make him rush keeper if that makes you feel better.

At home against Palace I can see us trying a 3-4-3 set up, could work out well.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

0-1 loss after having 89% of possession.

 

[come-on-barney]

Love Sergio just looking up with his face in the rain - true manc!

 

[The Black Shed]

Is that three left footers in the back four?
Scratching me head here!
