Pre Match Thread | Palace v City

[Tricky_Trev]

10 league wins on the bounce after ditching 442.

"I know, let's play 442 at Palace..."

Whaaaaaat???

Please don't get over-run City. So nervous now.

Calm down all, that still should be a strong enough team/formation to do a job on Palace. 2-1 City, Aguero and Bony.

 

[Ducado]

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?

He is playing with what he available, I am sure he would like everyone fit and ready

I think the time to start moaning is after the game don't you?

 

[Glenn Ponder]

Apparently Pellegrini called him a **** for diving & dropped him.

Since when the fuck was Sterling injured? 442 against Palace give me strength.

Rested, as obvious as night following day.

Have you heard some of you lot. fuck sake. Bunch of sad bastard's. The game hasn't even started yet and people are calling pellers a prick etc... It's so cringey. Just because we've got two strikers playing doesn't mean its 442.
You'd think he'd put Richard wright upfront listening to some of you lot whinge.

 

[Ducado]

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

He is not fit slight hamstring problem, would you rather he played injured?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Soccer Saturday say Sterling has a hamstring injury. When the fuck did that happen??

 

[Turner92]

 

[Silva_Spell]

Needless gamble. We have more than enough to keep the shape that has worked so well.

If we drop points it will be all Pellegrini's fault.

 

[SWP's back]

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

Even when not fit?

 

[wattle]

Er flappers!!! Who said we were playing 442. Has it occured to anyone that aguero will be playin the silva role just behind Bony? Come on people chill the fuck out. Could be worse... we could be Chelsea ;-)

 

[bluetev]

You would think it was forced on him with sterling's injury or whatever it is

But you also can't help feeling pellegrini's first reaction on hearing sterling out was to be secretly glad to have an excuse to go back to 4-4-2.

 

[waspish]

Might be we don't want to dominate the ball that's what palace set up to play plus we can play the hoof ball with 2 up top

You have an over vivid imagination

Pellegrini has a difficult job after the international break-i trust he has picked the best available team-remember Nasri, Navas and Yaya have had a good rest and were always going to play. 442 kind of forced upon us, but thats how we beat Watford and won a couple of league titles.

Bollocks. He'd be on the bench if he was being rested.

 

[kanovic]

What are you lot going to say when we beat palace easly? Lol
