Crystal Palace (H) - Wed 13th May, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Barcon]

I didn't tell you who was starting in my ideal world scenario. You'll like the subs don't worry.

Haha. Perfect. I'm in.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I bet even the players don’t know what to expect with the roles they’re going to play as well.

At least Semenyo will get to know some of of our players.
May have to be formally introduced to some of them

 

[the plasterer]

Very strange line up to say the least, obviously given up on the league and prioritising the cup

 

[ufo]

Rotation is a must for final
Also wtf ?
Pre match day thread wankers

 

[chris85mcfc]

Some side that

Get the 3 points one way or another, Saturday is a much bigger game now

 

[deano ou812]

Line up partly due to cup final 3 days later then 3 days later a league game we have been well and truly stitched up I’d have went slightly stronger and stuck the kids out away to Bournemouth as 2 fingers up to the league..

 

[colin's bell helmet]

Should’ve given Trafford a start too if he was gonna rotate the whole team

Was never gonna play tonight when he'll be starting the cup final at weekend

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

No Wharton or Sarr for them is a plus.

 

[ufo]

Gvardiol upfront? Savinho left back? Aitnouri and marmoush as the destroyers in midfield. Love it

Yes the man with the master plan

 

[Cobwebcat]

Arsenal delighted with that.

Expect the first team to appear at 0-1 and knacker themselves anyway!

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Biiiiig changes. Biggest issue will be players not being used to each other but makes sense to rotate a bit. 3 at the back or Nunes in midfield?

Even though half the team only met each other 5 minutes ago professional footballers should be able to do the job tonight. Up the blues
.

 

[ArniArason]

Got a headache just looking at that line up.
Pep rubbing his head all the way through it and bringing on Erling,Cherki and Doku after 60 mins;

Yup this exactly. If you only want your more in form players to play some of the game, let that be the first part! Start with your strongest line up. If we draw tonight and then the gooners drop points it'll be so fucking annoying

 

[Earlyriser]

What I don't get is the need to rest players but we play Bernardo who must be totally knackered

 

[blueste41]

Never thought I would be pleased to see a shit(ish) line up but well done Pep.
At least we know he won't be fukin about on Saturday with experimental selections.

 

[N1985]

Welcome back Josko

 

[bluemoon32]

Marmoush hat-trick

 

[Ryan.98.]

Both nicos and Rodri not even in matchday squad ffs

 

[mancityvstoke]

Nice banner for Bernardo front of south stand later

 

[Harrilew]

Still can't quite get my head around it.

Nunes kush guehi josko
Foden Bernardo
Sav marmoush ran
Semenyo

 

[HSA123]

Well that’s my fantasy team fucked lol
