Crystal Palace (A) - Pre-Match Thread

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Worried that midfield won't be able to shift across quickly enough to protect how high a Mendy and Cancelo will be.

Big responsibility on Sterling and Bernardo.

Like the front six, plenty of press.

You never know, we might find Rodri is the answer to our problems.

Playing the deepest at least means we can start proper triangles out of the back again.

3 at the back?

How can anyone look at that line up and think 3 at the back? Seriously, how?

Gundogan finally playing in his best position at deep lying centre mid. with Kev in the team surely we cant not win anyway.

glad to see aguero dropped; he was fucking shit against Wolves and deserves to be.

You could set a record for the number of thread bans in one evening, are you up to the challenge?

Luckily I will be only available for the first half as stupidly we have booked to see a concert tonight, who knew we were the 17:30 game, arse :(

Who are you seeing?

Well if his priority is the champions league then he better win it this time round, we slagged off Mr Ed for ducking out of competitions yet we are now saying pep is doing the same

No, he is

 

[Gray]

Was not optimistic before the team announcement, less optimistic now.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

all three? Zinchekco seemed fine in training and on international duty and while proposing, and Walker hasn't done anything for the last two weeks!

Walker is Ill according to the MEN

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

looks like an interesting system were adopting today, back 3 is it?

 

[kaz7]

Pep is evidently saving the likes of Stones, Walker, Otamendi & Zinchenko for the Atalanta game, which clearly shows where his priorities now lie this season. No worries, so long as we finish in the Top Four and win at least one cup competition I will not be too unhappy.

You think he is leaving out our entire defence by choice?

 

[bluealf]

He has played once

Nearly as many as Rodri then, no?
