Pre Match Thread | Palace v City

[waspish]

Looks like the club is prioritising the champs league

 

[Drakiro]

we'll lose this game, 4-4-2 doesn't work.

 

[Ducado]

And here's where the wheels fall off.

We're doing exceptional all season and the MP decides to go back to what has been proven time and time again to simply not work. 44 fkin 2!!

Add to that its away from home against a tony pull is team and I c ant help but think of a 1-0 loss to a goal in the last few mins.

Good Grief you can't even get the the name of the Palace manager right, now I am convinced that there is no way on earth you are a City fan

when did Pullis and Pardew do a job swap? Also get a fucking grip of yourself, fucking hell

 

[skandreas]

Sterling has a "small problem" according to our official Twitter account. Left out as a precautionary measure.

 

[kanovic]

Some people on here need to relax. We haven't even started the game and people act like we already lost. No way he would put kdb straight in. Best decision with sterling out. Just relax and have faith geeeezzz

Yes. The 100% record in the league so far points to that.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

away at the pacy, winger heavy Palace, who require open space to run at our backline, what do we provide? space. Find it strange, hopefully we're playing so well it doesn't matter.

 

[BigOscar]

Even with Sterling and Silva not available, there's no need to go back to fucking 442

Well it really depends on whether De Bruyne is deemed ready or not, because if he isn't then we don't have any senior players as alternatives.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

That team/formation is a shocker. Exactly the same kind of slow build-up 4-4-2 that got us beat here last season.

4-4-2 has been proved time and time again to be our undoing. Why change a 100% winning formula?

No pace other than Navas. No balance, either.

What's Pellers thinking?

 

[The Richard Wright Fan Club]

Just give Palace the points.
Sterling should always be in our first 11.

 

[Silvas_Left_Foot]

Can't understand what has happened to sterling? MP didn't say he was injured but no reason why he would be dropped! Hate 442 proven time and time again that it doesn't suit us, why change now when it was going so well!?

 

[Phil1]

Without knowing the exact reasons for going 4-4-2, my first thoughts are its a big mistake. Makes no sense to change the way we've been set up even with Silva being out. We've got the personel now to keep the same formation so not sure why we'd look to change.
That said we should still be more than good enough to win the game. We've just made it a little more difficult for ourselves.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Obviously our squad isn't as big as the media put out.

I hope the players missing have got niggles and we're not fucking about as Juve are next.

Yaya seems more lively this season so 442 I think will still work.

 

[skandreas]

He's got a "small problem", so he can't play.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

He just can't help himself.

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

Positives: Garcia, Nacho, Roberts on the bench. A film entitled 'The Class of 2015' would probably be in the works if the rags had 3 youth players in the squad.

 

[RandomJ]

Joe is going to be very busy I feel. 442 exposes the defence.

 

[citytill1die84]

Risky from Pellers but more than enough quality on show to put Palace to the sword. Looks as tho he's looking towards Champions League I hope we don't start to get complacent.

 

[willipp]

Ahhhhhh this is more like it, match day forum should be full of flappers. They must of been miserable with us doing so well so far this season.
