Crystal Palace (A) - Pre-Match Thread

Got to say this, that’s one hell of a team he’s picked. puzzled as to why he keeps picking Merlin, but apart from that, happy. If we don’t win, it’s on the team this time.

Pep prob thinking a draw is the same as a loss, so rather than shore up the back, goes to outscored them

would rather have a bunch of defenders and catch Palace on the break, just like every team plays against us and gets a result and the media calls it a masterclass

I’m predicting there’ll be a few pep out comments on the match day thread. ALL SANE PEOPLE KEEP CLEAR

He has always had that mentality tbf, hence his teams are able to amass huge point totals..

I'll go for a nervy 2-1 win.

Nervy,i can barely hold me magnum and beer i'm shitting it

Yep it probably puts him in the top 3 worst ever City managers

Pearce would have certainly been able to at least get a point at Palace!

So Garcia a recognised centre half isn't trusted. If this Rodri/Fernandinho partnership fucks up Pep has a lot to answer for.

Answer to who exactly?

Not really
I trust Pep to know what’s best under the circumstances
He can’t help the injuries and he obviously trusts Rodri there (who has played there before in la Liga incidentally...)

Got to be seven goals in this game. As long as we get at least 4 of them..

We’ll need to score the seven,as VAR will disallow at least 5 of them ...
