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

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (GMT).

Ticky game, have we got a bit of a run in us, I think we'll find out here. One step at a time but back-to-back wins would be a great start.

Need to get Jack and Kev back in the middle again.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Same team again please.

Hopefully Akanji and Ake are good to play this weekend.

Fucking Palarse.

We'll shit em.

Pep didn’t sound to confident saying Manu in Turin maybe and Ake looks like hamstring.

If so we are back to square one. Stones a possibility I guess but by no means certain so it might have to be Walker in the middle and Lewis out wide unfortunately.

Leaves us very vulnerable again.

Same team again please.

Pep said after the game that Akanji won't be fit for Palace and Ake will be longer.

Just put a deep sea on 0-6.Liked Jack a lot more today.Lets reduce that gap boys.

It’s a shame that tonight may have come at a cost.

Akanji and Aké injured. De Bruyne looked knackered after 35 minutes and then again after 65 minutes, I’m not sure he’s got another start in him immediately and would you risk it even if he felt like he did?

So others need to step up. Walker, Lewis, Nunes may have to come in and do well on Saturday. But the platform has been laid and they’ve been shown what a proper performance looks like.

Palace are a physical side, they’re picking up points now. Will be tough, but if we play with the energy we had tonight, we should be okay.

Grealish must play in the middle again, he was fucking mustard!

Foden has Bronchitis, that isn’t an easy one to shake off. I’d be surprised to see him on Saturday. That’s bed rest and plenty of water, rather than running about on a football pitch in Croydon.

Nunes for him then. Bernardo on the right.
