Crystal Palace (A) - Sun 14th Dec, 14:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I'd play the ones who are off to AFCOM they'll appreciate a run out for fitness sake if nothing else.

The one don’t you mean?

I just looked- you're right RAN won't be going as Algeria are not in.

Are you sure?

Algeria are at AFCON.

They aren't announcing their squad until Saturday, likely that RAN will be in it though.

Hope he goes, it will give him some much needed game time. He is not getting back in whilst NO’R is playing so well.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

The line up was good. We were 5-1 up. It was the substitutions that almost cost us.

Let's not rewrite history. They were all over us before the subs, and had already cut the lead to only two.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

For a start you have two out of form wingers playing alongside the worlds best striker. That might be okay against Exeter but Palace are 4th for a good reason.

The only way to get players out of form is by playing them. Doku can't play every single match. Especially him, given his injury history.

Idk how you can call Bobb 'out of form' either when he plays so intermittently.

 

[WhereWereWeWhenWeWereWhat]

Let's not rewrite history. They were all over us before the subs, and had already cut the lead to only two.

Nothing I said is false. It was 5-2 when Nico Gonzales and Doku were subbed off for Stones and Savio.

If Reijnders gets a flea in his ear to pull his fucking finger out I like this, but I'ed have Silva warming up after 20 mins ;-)

 

[Ajm1985]

Fuck it, play the same song Pep. Just maybe stick Bernie next to Nico G

 

[big gaz]

ACON might actually work in our favour and get them both match fit.

Marmoush was lumbering around and didn't seem able to go faster than a jog after 5 mins on the pitch last night.

First para both might play great and have buyers in Jan ;-)

 

[Eaststander1]

No Munoz, probably missing Sarr and potential for Mateta not to be 100% (stolen from Premier Injuries site)
So I've gone for a draw ;)

Mateta the biggest threat if fit .... a one man battering ram !

Same 11, but Reijnders in for Bernardo and possibly Ait Nouri for O'Reilly.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Pedantic twit that I am - so not the same 11 ;)
Joking aside - I don't like either of those changes going to Palace, trouble is in terms of freshening things I'm not sure what changes I'd make

 

[pudge]

How many times will they commentators and Sky talk about the FA Cup Final? I'm going for an even one million times

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I'd play the ones who are off to AFCOM they'll appreciate a run out for fitness sake if nothing else.

Huh??
We're not running a charity for International Teams - unless you count Johnny Boulders (kidding before anyone starts)
Strongest side we have based on current fitness, then feck off Brentford midweek

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

This is a really important match, we can’t afford anything but a win. We have to start our strongest team. There’s no room for Savio or Bobb in a game like this.

Rico Lewis is always good in this fixture, now KDB has moved on , who also used to have great Fun in South London!!! :0)

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

reijnders in for bernardo. also wouldn't mind marmoush in.

Lewis in for Bernardo :0)

 

[KS55]

This will be a toughie. Palace going very well. Consider bringing in Khusanov, as we need extra muscle. Concentration the key issue.
