Crystal Palace (a) pre-match thread

[chaddblue]

When did we resign Jesus navas?

Harsh on Navas

At least he had pace

 

[Blue Hefner]

Ederson
Danilo Stones Laporte Mendy
Fern
KDB B.Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

 

[Armaan]

Hope Mahrez is fit for this one.......

It’s not that I’m pissed.... but I nearly puked laughing so hard at this. Well done. Brilliant post.

 

[super_city_si]

I predict pep will still not start Danilo or sane.

Walker stones Laporte Delph.
Dinho
Kev Silva
Bernardo aguero sterling.

I wouldn’t pick that team but I think it’s what pep will do.

 

[super_city_si]

I would pkay Ederson,Danilo,Mendy,Stones,Laporte,Fernandinho,KDB,B Silva,Sterling,Kun,Sane. for the rest of the season

I’d love to see that team. Especially for the spurs return game where we need goals.

 

[Thomas Hearns]

I hope Eddie is ok. Didn’t look right after the injury. I’d play Mendy again. If Bernard is fit he has to play in place of Spanish Dave.

 

[There is a Light]

I hope Eddie is ok. Didn’t look right after the injury. I’d play Mendy again. If Bernard is fit he has to play in place of Spanish Dave.

Would be catastrophic if Ederson was injured between now and the end of the season.

 

[Thomas Hearns]

Would be catastrophic if Ederson was injured between now and the end of the season.

Given the tiny amount of shots we allow on our goal I don’t think it’d quite be catastrophic but I take your point. Certainly in terms of our play from the back and the understanding and confidence our defenders have in him he would be a major loss

 

[citymad]

When did we resign Jesus navas?

At least Navas looked dangerous.

 

[Andouble]

Ederson
Danilo Stones Laporte Mendy
Fern
KDB B.Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

Yep.

 

[super_city_si]

Any word on Danilo? What’s he just rested or is he injured? Walker will play because of zahas pace.

 

[mcs]

I think Fernandhino won't start on Sunday. City will need him for the other two spurs games and United games at a minimum.

Sane surely has to start, and I think Jesus will start too. KDB for Silva.

Palace are a funny one. Yes they clearly have the game to worry us, but they also have in totem a horrendous home record this season (when I last looked only teams with worse records were the two already relegated teams). We will deal with them comfortably if we score early imho, but if its a nervy game, we will be vulnerable.

I'll take the same 2-0 we got in 2013-14 on that fateful day when Liverpool also faced Chelsea at home. If ever I want to see history repeat itself, including the comical banana skin slip, please let it be Sunday!

Come on City!

 

[cibaman]

Any word on Danilo? What’s he just rested or is he injured? Walker will play because of zahas pace.

I think Walker will spend most of the match on the opposite side of the pitch to Zaha

 

[Blue Smarties]

At least Navas looked dangerous.

Aye, to the shins of the first man.

 

[Pete Campbell]

No doubt Mahrez will play in this if Bernardo isn’t fit.
Biggest waste of money, predictable and slow. He’s having a laugh at us.

Foden to start again surely

 

[bluemoon32]

Going by the general consensus on here i thought we must be playing a cross between the Ajax & Brazil sides of the early 70's and the Messi Barcelona sides.
Imagine my surprise when I then found out it was Crystal Palace.
3-0 City

 

[chesterbells]

Biggest game of the week for me even before tonight’s result.

Mendy Stones Danilo deBruyne Bernardo and Sané to all come in!

Certainly hope so

 

[The Black Shed]

It's shit or bust now for every remaining game. Could be interesting viewing folks. I trimmed my nails last night, so I'll now have to find something else to bother

 

[paulsimpson]

Ederson
Danilo Stones Laporte Mendy
Fern
KDB B.Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

Or certainly close to that

 

[Gray]

Forget the Chumps, get the fittest eleven players out on the pitch, give them a kick up the arse and tell them to go for it.

The PL should be our priority.
