Crystal Palace (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[northstandgiveusasong]

This is the team I'd like to see:

Ederson

Cancelo - Garcia - Laporte - Ake

Fernandinho

Palmer - Doyle

Sterling - Aguero - Jesus
​

Rest the entire 11 bar the keeper that will start on Tuesday. Back three in possession with Cancelo in a double pivot with Ferna. I hope the Chelsea game was Mendy's last meaningful City game.

This. Could even rest Ederson if needed.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

I respectfully disagree . We took our eyes off a trophy v Leeds . Let's see what he does

You think the Palace game is more important than PSG?

 

[lightning Rodri]

Obviously you do or you wouldn't have posted it?

Obviously. So, do you think its better to forfeit than sending that team to Palace ?

 

[bluemoon32]

We've got a big enough points cushion to allow us to rest our main players for this game.

 

[daflanger]

Pep will rotate heavily

I am expecting something like this:

Ederson
Mendy
Ake
Laporte
Cancelo
Fernandinho
Rodri
Bernardo
Sterling
Jesus
Aguero/Torres

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Save Bernardo, Foden & Gundogan. The rest, pick away.

Definitely rest Gundo to protect against any after effects on the red card challenge on him last night.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Steffen

Garcia
Ake
Laporte

Cancelo
Fernandinho
Doyle
Mendy

Sterling
Aguero
Jesus

 

[Airbags Optional]

Some mad team selections in here. Pep will go similar to Leeds imo, he would have been pissed off that that team did not get the result as he knows they should be good enough

 

[Len Rum]

Go large Pep!

 

[DMA's]

The five players we can’t be without for PSG second leg are imo: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Mahrez and kdb. Seeing as it’s unlikely ederson would get injured I’d start him but rest the others. I’d pick something like:

ederson

cancelo
garcia
laporte
ake
mendy

fern
Bernardo

sterling
jesus
torres

similar to Fulham game. Get bernardo off at 60 mins for Doyle if winning comfortably if not then gundogan.

we have to rest our key players the league is pretty much done.
