Milner MArtin D Nasty Clichy

Rodwell Garcia.

Jesus Silva Sammy

Guidetti (or Dzeko)

Should be enough to beat palace without risking to many of our players that are needed for big games.

We play again on WED & SAT next week, and have just had a stiff test or two.... Use the Squad

You need to snap out of this magical thinking, with regards to City, it has no bearing on reality, it can't bring you much fun and enjoyment, whilst many of us who have snapped out of it, are confident and loving every game, of course you can sit on the sidelines sulking and worrying if want but you do have a choice

I know I do but Im a hopeless case as regards City.

Can you imagine Liverpool fans being nervous about the prospects of facing palace at home? Snap out of it and enjoy the ride

In fairness to Tblisi, myself and the others who still have that tiny bit of having to watch through parted fingers at times, Liverpool haven't had the upsets and let downs we've had and on the scale we've had them. I can totally understand why people think Palace could be the game where we lose our home record, but I dare say none of them actually think it will happen, just it would be so us if it did. For many others those thoughts have vanished, for some it's almost vanished but for others it will always be there.
 
It's a premier league match so strongest team depending on injuries and tiredness.I hope we don't take a risk or take it too lightly,palace will take it as a free hit and go all out so we should take it seriously

So is Swansea Away on Wed, I know its prem league, but even our squad players should be good enough to beat the bottom sides, otherwise why are they here ? This is the perfect game for them to Stake there claim, and to play together before the cup game next week.
 
As ever, strongest possible 11 please. Changes can be made once a game is won and in the bag.

All of our squad players at the same time doesnt usually work,a mixture is what is needed and the right attitude and not it's only palace at home

But a fatigued Negredo, Navas etc will no longer be our strongest 11.

This could be a very very difficult fixture.

Every game is massive now. I think the payers will have the bit between their teeth now and are not going to let up, but we are going to have to make a lot of changes versus Palace, and that will affect our game. Unfortunately we had to play our strongest team v Liverpool so couldn't rest one or two key players in advance.

Dzeko will start and for me, that was always possibly the plan.

how many fans are c palace taking ?

Wont be a lot as not only is it a pain in the arse to get in or out of the area, the world stops at Watford gap for many down there and the fear of falling off the edge of the world will put many off.

Without a doubt.

If we make to many changes this has 'banana skin' written all over it when in reality we should cruise to a comfortable victory.
Complacency is the enemy.

all this field a weaken side then limp through a game is wrong imo. we should play our strongest without playing players who are carrying injuries, then hopefully dripfeed subs on after the 5th or 6th goal has hit the back of the net. 8-)

I'd go with most of this. Clearly, if Zab himself is saying it was a huge risk to play him, then he's gotta be out for this one. James can do the job in his position (no more Clichy at right back, please - he was found out several times by Fulham). Rodwell in, at last, to show if he's the quality we need or not. I believe he is, if he can stay uninjured. I'd pick Kolarov again over on left back position. His attacking skills will pose far more problems for Palace than they did for Liverpool (although Pellers has got to get it through his head that he's got to track back, and quickly, if the attack breaks down). Give the Beast a rest. If he's injured he's out anyway. Dzeko in - if he can't score against Palace then he has no business being in our squad. But he has his place as a squad player, and he will score. By the way, where the fuck is Jovetic? If he's fit, play him in attacking midfield role, coming in just behind Dzeko, and rest either Samir or Silva (although Silva shouldn't honestly need any rest at all).
Finally, what about this for an off-the-wall idea? Demichelis and Jovetic in central defense, and Vinnie moves up into a deep midfield role. Because that man can win a ball, and pass it forward with huge skill. He also likes to beat a player or two, as we've seen. This would mean Vinnie in, essentially, for Yaya. And why not? Am I alone in thinking that there were times in the Liverpool game when Yaya looked jaded...

Now there's off the wall, and then there's Off The Wall. I of course meant Nastasic in central defense.
