Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

Time to open the game up and get back to our footballing instincts.

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

That's what I thought when I saw the line-up. Dave and Kevin both like to cut in, and both FBs can overlap. Agree with others that Palace's wing pace is their strength though, so we'll need to be careful there.

...... and what a bench ! Got to be the strongest in the Prem

 

[Proelia]

Absolute joke sterling doesn't start , de bruyne doesn't even deserve to be on the bench with the effort hes been putting in

Bit more concerned about Cabaye, Mc Carthur and Ledley against Delph and Fernando.

One short in the centre so Nacho will have to drop back for cover or KDB.

Thought Navas would start ahead of KDB.

like it, Demi needs to have a good one though and i've never seen Dave in that position before either

 

[Kompany is King]

Great to see Iheancho start

You do make me laugh

Aguero and Kelechi will be a formidable partnership but he has to give Nacho a run of games.

Decent line up that, legs in midfield.
