Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

[Chi-town blues]

Not sure about the lineup. Zaba and kola are both exposed.

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

He just had his best game last time out. And for what it's worth, I don't think Mangala will get his position back when healthy. As Demichelis is so much better on the ball.

Very interesting. Great to see Pellegrini depart form the norm, not sure of de Bruyne and silva though. Although Zabba and Kolarov could be the width. In the past palace have sat deep and this nullifies Navas completely so maybe Manuel is thinking of that.
We will see but I'm happy he has started nacho and tried something a little different.

You do make me laugh

Why is it a joke that at home Sterling does not start when De Bruyne is out on his feet.

God forbid we lose as it will be a case of what the fuck was he thinking changing it like that!

Bluemoon at its finest.

Very confident today as i always am, 3-0

Doubt it as he has done what most want,my only gripe would be if its not working and he doesn't change it but hope he will if needed

I've never wanted a player to play well more than I want Kelechi to shine today. If he has a quiet game he won't start in the league again until next season! Please play well Nacho!!!

I think most complaints have been about our style of play rather than the different personnel - at least mine have.

No it has not. You can read page 1-18 of this thread as an example.

Not trying and out on your feet are not the same thing

Not trying and out on your feet are not the same thing

I was referring to the decision not about not trying

Feeling optimistic for the first in weeks. Hoping Nacho will shine.
