Crystal Palace (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[Tbilisi]

If we can win this and Watford at home we could lose half our games and still finish on 88 points ffs!

The bloke who wrote that must have been well pissed if he thinks the ground is only a 5 minute walk away, more like 15 even at a decent pace.

Your right a bit more than 5 mins but quite manageable. Good pub though, mix of home and away. Was in there before and after the Kelechi last min winner match.

THE railway isn’t far I’ve been 3 or 4 times. Not 5 minutes but you can do it in 10

Any reason for the 1-1 prediction mate? I think it will be a tough game but still extremely confident we will beat them

We ended up beating them comfortably in the home game but I thought Palace were the better team in the first half that day, without Zaha. Athletic, skillful Players who can dribble at pace are our biggest weakness in my view - Palace have a couple in Zaha and Loftus-Cheek. Without Stones, Delph and Silva our buildup from the back is noticeably slower which plays into the hands of sides with rigid organisation looking to counter which is what I expect, can't really believe Hodgson when he says he'll come out to play.

Mostly though it's just a feeling the run can't last and I'm always wary when we have a good record at a team's ground like we do at Selhurst. If Aguero/Jesus have found their clinical touch again I'd change my prediction to us winning it late.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

We'll create enough chances to win two football matches.......the key is will we be as wasteful with those chances as we were against Newcastle. Hopefully, Aguero, Jesus and Kevin will have their shooting boots on and we'll come away with a comfortable 1-3 away win. Fingers crossed!!

Nah... you can’t beat a dodgy stream with a Chinese commentary ;)

 

[sir baconface]

me too - Mangala vs Benteke is not filling me with much confidence.

The Mangler will have him on toast. 2-1 to City.

I think yesterday was a day off for the team so they should be training today. Anyone seen any pictures of training today to see if Delph, Kompany or D. Silva about?
