Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

Very happy,if they all work hard enough i'm confident

 

[Blue Smarties]

Would have preferred sterling over De Bruyne but other than that it's the perfect 11

That's my feeling too but fuck it, I'm pleased he's dropped Toure and playing Iheanacho so won't moan!

Feel sorry for Sterling poor guys on the bench so much.

 

[Marvin]

Great. No Toure and 2 up top. I'd have liked Sagna at centre back, but this is progress.

Watch us lose niw!

Finally we get to see Sergio and Kelechi together; the master and the apprentice. I've really been looking forward to that. It's nice to see that Manuel dares to bench Touré too.

Cant argue with much of that tbf, ideally one of Navas or Sterling plays for width and pace but still happy.

That is my only concern but both on the bench

 

[BlueMoonoverUS]

Good team

Rather odd choice to play both Silva and De Bruyne out wide combined with our two most attacking fullbacks who drift in and don't like to track back when you consider Palace do the most of their attacking down the flanks. On paper it works going forward but would like to of seen at least one of Sterling/Navas start to offer real width and a bit of cover on the flanks. But Kelechi starts and Yaya doesn't they're the most important things.

Could we be playing the 4-2-2-2? Delph and Fernando as the defensive pillars and KdB and Dave playing as inside wingers?
