Good lineup and is rather be playing palace than arsenal at present.

I think because you can just as easily say “I don’t understand the need for 8 outfield players on the bench.” There’s not much need for that either.

So 2 keepers on the bench just protects for some extraordinary circumstances where there’s a red card for Ederson and then Steffen tweaks a muscle on a goal kick or something random like that, as it’s the most specialised position on the pitch.

Just stick Walker in net again. 100% clean sheet record.

Great team that and Palace have lined up with pace on the counter. Should be a good game. Key will be to score first. We manage that then we can beat them by a few. They score first and it could be trouble.

Going to be a tough one tonight, but confident. It is always harder to counter us without the ball and Sterling is usually the one who loses possession so understandable he is out of the 11.

I understand all that but i don't agree with it. Much rather see a youngster on the bench.

always worries me when everyones happy with the team

Fuck that,I’d rather have g.jesus and maybe Gundogan as well in the side ..

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Foden on that list as well. Not far off his nest now

I think you are referring to Arjen Robben

Spitty trying to show how to get at city and Arsenal. As if the managers of the prem won’t have worked it out. It’s one thing doing it in theory but as Mike Tyson once said everyone thinks they can beat you until you punch them in the face

 

[paulchapo]

Amen to that!

Palace are a big physical well organised side with pace, the kind we struggle against. Hopefully being at home they'll open up more and allow us to pick them off for a change. Don't get caught like Laporte did at home and sent off.

Fuck it, play everyone, no one will notice, we play as if we've got 15 players on the pitch anyway
