Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 12th April, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Mr Partridge]

The more this season goes on, the more I'm wondering if Pep's wife was actually the tactical genius...

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

He doesn’t want them to move much either!

Which is why we’re shit.

 

[2blue4you]

Very slow line up. Pep strikes again!!

 

[city saint]

Feel like turning round tbh after seeing that line up. Hope pep makes me eat my words but I doubt it

 

[Claytop]

Hopefully we'll have a proper go today.

So much for that hope…

 

[hcblue95]

Hmm odd lineup.

 

[richards30]

Pep needs gone now! Why start Mcatee now and yet again no Savinho or Doku?!! Fucks sake

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Khushanov should be RB instead of Lewis.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Is Pep trying to get the tin tack? That line up is exactly what I would pick if I didn’t give a flying fuck about winning today.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

If I was Grealish I’d be absolutely livid right now. He’s able to run, and has played well through the middle a few times. But yet, Pep still plays Kova, Gundo and an old Kevin who doesn’t have the legs anymore.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

That is a seriously worrying starting eleven

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I haven't got a fucking clue how we're setting up today

 

[i8rags]

Wow

 

[Fordyboy46]

What a totally uninspiring line up that is. If we win this game I'll hold my hands up and apologise but it looks totally shit

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Pep needs gone now! Why start Mcatee now and yet again no Savinho or Doku?!! Fucks sake

Get a fucking grip you clown.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Said mcatee to start, happy for him, I did not have the 7 man midfield though.

Bizarre team, completely devoid of pace or width in all areas. No idea what the plan will be. How is that team going to score a goal? Looks like he's set us up to have a centre circle rondo for 90 minutes where the ball cannot leave the centre circle.

Okay, lets see how it plays out. Certainly no blaming the players if this goes tits up.

 

[Claytop]

Last time Nico & Kova played together it was Kova at 6 and Nico 8.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Uncs in midfield again.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Why’s Pep given up on Khus all of a sudden? It’s beyond me why he doesn’t play him after him being our best player in his first month.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

No width, interesting
