Pep getting sacked?

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

This should make for some interesting reading over the next few days
Anyone thinking we're walking this - simply remember Palace should have been 0-3 at our place if Eze hadn't managed to stray offside for no reason.
We've work to do this week - and a no holds barred team meeting might not go amiss

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Could go either way this one lol

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvardiol O'Reilly
Gundogan Kovacic Bernardo
De Bruyne Haaland Marmoush

Not what I'd pick but it's what we'll get.

Defence is fine, as for the rest… although I agree with Kova and Marmoush.

Well the whole country (apart from the Brighton fans) will be rooting for Palace, so who knows?

 

[clarion]

A lot of time until this game for Pep to choose the best suited overthinking brain fart.

 

[robbieh]

The problem now is we have a vital league game 3 days later

 

[Franny 1234]

Bet Palace fans are shitting bricks if they watched out performance today.
Same starting eleven with Gvardiol leftback I know I will be. CTID

 

[come-on-barney]

Go back to the winnng side. No Halaand, no Lewis, otherwise be over quickly.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Play like we did today & Palace will have a field.day.

Play like we did today & Palace will have a field.day.

Pep needs to stop fucking about with the side putting in players who've been shit all season ( Foden) or coming back from injury.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Pep getting sacked?

Feels like he's been trying for that since November

 

[Ethan23]

After seeing today's game

Foden hasn't done enough unfortunately and Bernardo has become invisible.

I'd be tempted to start

Ederson

Nunes
Dias
Akanji
Gvardiol

Kovacic
Gundo

Marmoush
De Bruyne
Grealish

Haaland

 

[Marvin.]

The game at Southampton emphasised that O'Reilly and Marmoush need to start, and KDB should be used from the bench.

--------------Ortega
Nunes---Dias--Gvardiol--O'Reilly
---Kovacic--Lewis--Bernardo
-Marmoush--Haaland--Grealish

As if that should make a difference

You want to start KDB, Gundogan and Kovacic in midfield? Too slow / old.

Bernardo can still play the quarterback role. That's what he did at Wembley.

 

[mexico1970]

When we win it and blues across the country and the world cheer, will it register on a seismograph like the scouse win?

 

[Marvin.]

There are 2 bonuses from the Southampton game.

1) Haaland and Akanji got minutes.

2) It was underlined to Pep that he must not start KDB at Wembley.
