Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Early goal is vital in this one in my most humble of opinions. If we get it, then I think the floodates could open big style. However, like we've seen with so many teams at home the last few years, the longer they go, the more in confidence they play with. But we're better this season, so I think we'll get that first goal early and smash em 4 0 or 4-1. I bloody hope so anyway !

Even at 1-0 down I doubt Wit's boys will come out to play until the last 10 mins, being 1-0 behind late on with a chance of a point will be part of thier game plan.

2 early goals and we could see a hatfull.

Exactly, score two goals and they have to come out leaving us to score a few more. Hate that 1-0 situation. It used to be that there was often an equalizer late on with the scorer reeling away towards the away end. Boro springs to mind. However the way this team is playing at the moment I'm less fearful that will happen.

PEP: Injury situation is ok. Vinny has come back. Gundogan we will see.

PEP: Last season we started well, similar to this season. We have less points but I think it was a good season last season for many things,

PEP: I think I am a good manager. We fight like a normal team. I believe in the quality of the way we play.

PEP: In the PL every team can beat the other one. (Palace) have quality. Seconds balls, crosses, set pieces. It will be similar to West Brom

Early goal and I can see the floodgates opening and a deluge happening.

I can’t see them containing some of our in form players.

Love that team

It's unfair leaving Sterling/Sane out for games now because they look so good whenever they play but I guess their time as starters will come very soon. We saw a glimpse of what they could do midweek and it was awesome.

I think we'll see Woy try to adopt the WBA blueprint of keeping the ball in the air and taking turns at kicking fuck out of our forwards.
