Crystal Palace (a) pre-match thread

What’s Gundo said?

That we get scared in the CL or words to that effect

 

[FantasyIreland]

Think he might have shot himself in the foot lol

That might explain things.

 

[aguero93:20]

Baldy fraud says Bernardo is fit for Sunday. Might be best keeping him fresh for the 2 spurs games imo.

 

[Withnail]

Gundo shouldn't reflect his own weakness and failings onto the rest of the team. He would be well advised to keep his gob shut to the press if he is going to supply them with ammunition.

Gundogan has been playing well recently, but he was wrong to come out with those comments and I can see Pep benching him on Sunday. You certainly don't associate bravery with Gundogan and he needs to engage his brain before speaking in future

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Great news i would still save Bernardo for Wednesday and Mendy for that matter, its a balance with Mendy he needs game time but we can't afford to lose him again.

On the basis both are coming back it would make sense to start with Mendy and bring Zinchenko on (if we can). I'd start with KDB as we lacked so much Zip in mid week, bring B Silva on to give him some rest. Rest F'dinho here and let him play the next 3 crunch games.


.............................Ederson
..............Stones......................Laporte
Walker..................Gundogan................Mendy
...........KDB.............................D Silva
Sterling.................Aguero.......................Sané

As above try and get a lead and then bring; KDB, Sterling and Mendy off. I'd play Aguero as he needs to get a goal to keep his confidence going.

is he wrong? We rarely beat anyone decent in CL. out of 3 matches against lyon x2 and Spurs. 2 losses and draw for example this season alone

 

[Neville Kneville]

I think this game is bigger than the Spurs one.

No idea about the fitness of any players so I just hope we put out a team that wins & that's it.

 

[Easy]

PEP @BernardoCSilva can play tomorrow. He and @Azinchenko17 are feeling better and they are fit for Sunday.

Did you get this from Twitter? What a mistake by the social media team.

I watched the presser and Pep clearly says Bernardo and Zinchenko are feeling better but he doesn’t know if they’ll be fit for Sunday.

He might be right but it wasn't really his place to say anything like that

Then the OS says this.

The pair missed the midweek Champions League clash against Tottenham through injury and the Catalan boss admitted he does not yet know whether they will be available for selection to face the Eagles at Selhurst Park.
