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

Gundogan AND De Bruyne? Palace's midfield won't know what's hit them!

 

[David Kloppesh]

We will destroy them 4:1
forza city

 

[BlueMonkey79]

What has Khusonov done to not get in the 11?

Probably played too well in the games he's appeared in.

 

[Claytop]

Pep must of watched PSG midweek.

Blindfolded.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Is he though....Grealish does a lot of falling over....did you see when he came on at the swamp...gave possession away twice...fell over looking for a foul and it wasnt given....didnt track back...

Mainly yes he is. He draws a lot of fouls for sure. That some of them weren’t given at the swamp is perhaps not surprising.

 

[01cravend]

"For the longest time I was wishing to play Mcatee"... Does he not pick the team? Doing my head in this season

 

[Revolver]

May be a fair point that it’s a team designed to keep possession.

But this season keeping possession means little attacking threat and it tends to tire out our aging midfield!

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Possibly his worst one of the season.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Read out that team and let out a sigh.

Grealish for De Bruyne
Savinho for McAtee
Doku for Kovavic
Nunes for Lewis

It’s not hard

Don’t mind Macca being in there at all

 

[King Jay]

Probably played too well in the games he's appeared in.

Too young and too fast. Pep hates that

 

[IronsideKozuch]

I thought people were begging for Mcatee, O’Really and Lewis?

Its been a while and I’m starting to think a large portion of posters on this forum now want pep to fail and enjoy having a go more than they’d enjoy him doing well.

its a great time to distribute ignore option though:D so many obvious emotional takes, which are simpy a waste of time to read.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

At this point he has to be trying to get sacked it’s borderline gross misconduct with the 11 he picks week in week out a random fan of street could pick a better team lately

Pick it then, and explain why your choices are better. Please include how you know current player condition and mentality, put up or shut up!

 

[havefaith]

Logical and maybe he wants to give starting minutes to all before big decisions are made in the summer

The wife's just said the same, I'd of thought champions league qualification would be the priority,

 

[Bluesince1979]

The team selections , the apathy of the fans, feels like we are just trying to limp to top 5.

The games are HUGE!!!

Lose today, could be 7th tomorrow

Nobody begs for Lewis. Unless it's for him to not make the matchday squad

 

[simon23]

Swap Haaland for one player today and he still isn't scoring.

That team has zero creativity.

agree

the squad has zero creativity so back to my main point with people who are complaining about the line up...what other options does he have,....Im not sure what people want to see

Sav and Doku - dont score much and dont create - defensively makes us weaker as well
Grealish. - his time is done at the club....he has mostly been poor and he has never eally proven that he can be creative or score goals regularly
Foden and Bernardo - completely out of sorts both of them


SO again who does he play?

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I might even put a tenner on losing looking at that line up. It will be a terrible first half with no shots at goal and maybe we might be one down as well. 2nd half won't get any better until we bring some wingers on

Lewis? Do you read the match threads when he's playing? He's as popular as a fart in a lift.

 

[Gorbachev]

Kazakhstan it is then next season, we will be there!

 

[discopop]

They don’t produce anything because we rather pass the ball around until the oppositions defense is set and then give the ball to either of them who are supposed to beat 1vs2/3 on the regular with no overlapping fullback. Have you ever seen a club wasting wingers like ours? Look at PSG. They don’t play this inverted Fullback thing. Their fullbacks actually help their wingers as good as they already are. Half of the squad of PSG wouldn’t start for City because they ain’t ready or can’t be trusted. Zaire-Emery and Neves and Doue are great examples that wouldn’t make it here. At least not for now.

Both of the wingers have been in a position to score or assist numerous fucking times this season and invariably find row z, the opposition’s body or any combination of waste you can care to name, take the dipper game as an example Doku roasted Trenton but had fuck all to show for it at the end of the game.
