Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Hope Peps got one of his own back room staff with a match clock. Palace will be at from the first minute and we all know the clown in the middle won't do anything about it

What do you want them to do with the clock

 

[Vic]

Remote chance - is there a bar near Atlantic sea beeeze hotel in Protaras showing the game? Can't go into the town itself - in the middle of a wedding! (Not mine)

Woy is back in town.

Woy is back in town.

Let's send him back sarf with his tails between his legs

We have 3 games in 8 days. I think this is the easiest fixture we face among the 3. We need to put a very good side but Pep needs to make sure we do not run our best into the ground by the time our toughest game comes around away at Chelsea next week so some of the players should be rotated.

One thing you can depend on with pep is rotation,everyone will play,there is not much point saving anyone for the chavs if we don't win tomorrow,he will manage the team to win every game though,i expect he has learnt not to underestimate any team in the prem,today he said anyone can beat anyone

Absolutely spot on

 

[Gabriel]

For the last few seasons, I've been anticipating us absolutely destroying someone, a 7 or more score, when everything clicks and everything goes in. However, I think Palace will be better organised than of late, and Sakho will be a greater inspiration for them. Would love a goal fest, but would settle for a 1-0 and will just have to wait for Norwich to be promoted again.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Lets get 3 points and a staggering number of goals!

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Mendy
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
D. Silva
Sane
Aguero
Jesus

This needed a slight adjustment!

 

[harvo the blue]

I can see 1 striker tomorrow with Aguero starting & swapping later in the game. We have a tough game on Tuesday & then a big game at Chelsea.

I can see Sane & Bernardo starting.

Ederson
Stones Otamendi
Walker. Mendy
Dino
Bernardo. KDB Silva. Sane
Aguero

Bravo, Vinny, Danilo, Sterling, Delph, Jesus, Foden.

Very tough game this one and it won't be a walkover..we need to be at it from the off..banana skin.

 

[Withnail]

Rest Gabriel for Tuesday and go for a front 3 of Serg, Raheem and Leroy.

Patience may be required as they will park the bus, but the way we are playing few teams will be able to keep our attack out.

 

[deano ou812]

This has typical city all over it,but i still think we will win but hard fought I'll go for 2.1..

 

[KCblue]

Guessing we'll go:

Ederson, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Mendy, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Aguero, Sane
Bench: Bravo, Danilo, Kompany, Toure, Delph, Bernardo, Jesus

4-0 City

 

[Mancityus]

Rest Jesus, Sane, Fern, Walker for 2 games next week

Ederson, Danilo, Stones, Otamendi, Mendy, Yaya, De Bruyne, Silva, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero
Bench: Bravo, Walker, Kompany, Fern, Delph, Sane, Jesus

4-0 City

 

[Rammy Blue]

I think Leroy has to start.

 

[pee dubya]

-----------------Ederson-------------
Walker----Stones----Ota----Mendy
------------------Ferna----------------
------De Bruyne--------Silva---------
--Sane-----------Aguero-----Sterling

Would have the full-backs mainly providing the width, Sane nominally on the right cutting in (scored 2 goals that way so far) and Sterling basically partnering Aguero rather than staying wide. But obviously they're pretty interchangeable.

The only player Palace have who would worry me is Zaha and he's out. We'll press high up the pitch and rush them into knocking it up to an isolated Benteke who we'll just outnumber.
