Crystal Palace (A) - Sat 7th Dec, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[TinFoilHat]

Today's tactics will be all about keeping the ball on the ground and short passing controlling the play.

Might not be a thriller but could be another winner.

Yes it is, I had a shag this morning :-)

calling your missus the big one is an awful way to talk about her ;)

Here's merson the knob thinks we haven't played strongest teM just for a laugh
It's funny how they win with best players on pitch at same time

We need to get the ball forward quicker, slow transitions between the midfield and defence and we’re asking for trouble, wingers need to get those deliveries into the box early.

Any opportunities that come our way, shoot.

 

[Blue Steel]

They aren't bothered how many horses die in whatever conditions, as long as the betting money keeps coming in.

Abject bollocks

It's quite astonishing how many "Pep's lost it" articles there are, which simply ignore that almost our entire defence has been injured.

The obvious answer to our poor form is clearly that Pep has been found out, just 15 years into his managerial career.

At least she won't get blown over by the wind :-)

In this weather the game will be a lottery

Most of our recent games have been……and we’ve not had the winning number

 

[heslops barnet]

We’ll have to ditch our high ball to Haaland game.
Guess we’ll have to keep the ball on the deck. Hope we can adapt to the weather conditions.

Last game when ‘ high ball’ worked?

I'm glad that the City game is going ahead, but it's still absurdly hilarious that they're so precious about wind speed considering how many horses die per year even in good conditions.

I'm not getting involved in this debate, suffice to say thoroughbreds enjoy a good life but unfortunately there's always going to deaths in jump racing. Sadly there's also loss of human life which is far more important. That'll get a few of you going on here.

Fuck that. I cant go to a pub for a city game round here, dont fancy listening to cult members and rags telling me we're cheats and getting relegated

 

[kaz7]

Feeling good today

Up the blues

 

[Claytop]

Great.

 

[Claytop]

Walker - Dias - Gvardiol - Lewis

then?

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Walker - Dias - Gvardiol - Lewis

then?

Think so mate yeah, by process of elimination.

 

[bluemc]

Walker - Dias - Gvardiol - Lewis

then?

Or Gvardiol might be pushed to left back, Lewis right back, with Walker in the middle?

Not sure this is the game to be throwing Simpson-Pusey into.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Yes it is, I had a shag this morning :-)

Hope they were kind enough to give you the reach around.

 

[kaz7]

Fucked off with all these injuries
