Crystal Palace (H) | Pre-Match Thread

they are a good outfit and we know to well that they can upset the apple cart ? so we need to take early chances and score a couple and win the game as quick as possible. yes our defence is good this season but hanging on to a 1 goal lead because we missed plenty of chances is not good for the ticker

Walker is the only FB we've got who can mark Zaha.

Zaha's not that great. We just have to hope he doesn't have one of his five decent games a season and we'll be okay. More worried about Townsend, who's built a career off of being shite except when he plays a big club.

Is kun back cause I think we do need a goal scorer? (Lowest goals scored out of the top few teams I heard on the commentary tonight and keep missing chnaces and it will come back to bite us in one of these games)


Ederson

Walker. Stones. Dias. Cancello

Ferna

Gundogan KDB

Torres Kun Foden

Tough on Bernardo as he has been playing well but I think we need to freshen it up again.

Jesus for Kun but with Torres central - false nine.

I quite like Roy. “Am I looking forward to going there? No not really” made me titter

Let me point out the positives. We are scoring in most games, and conceding in few.

Have to say that I’m very proud of City. After seasons of scoring goals for fun, now with the dangers of goal celebrations spreading covid, we’ve scored far fewer goals, so less goal celebrations. The players obviously take their COVID responsibilities very seriously.

We are the form team in the league right now, no doubt about that ... will update these (below) form and league positions table tomorrow after Crystal Palace has played their midweek fixture ... but for now this is where the two teams stand (our stats are also before our Brighton game):

Edit: Updated tables below, now reflecting stats including our game against Brighton and theirs against Arsenal.

Have updated the tables in the original post, now reflecting stats including our game against Brighton and theirs against Arsenal in the Form Guide as well as Season So Far tables.
