No doubt one of there Shit players with score a Brahma for 40 yards again

Yep, coz Townsend was shite tonight

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

They'll be hard to break down. We'll have too work hard for the 3 points

Agreed will be a very tough game. Zaha will be doing his Bambi on ice impressions!

Not a game to start Walker in. Could see multiple penalties if he does...

Especially if the ref is Oliver

3-2, Sterling will score a hat trick of penalties.

More chance of Sterling scoring hat-trick than our defence conceding 2.

We need width in this game, get in behind em cut the ball back score the goals.

this is what Arsenal didn’t do last night, they tried to go through the middle and it just played right into Palace hands.

So I think Walker will play to give us that overlap, and cover the threat of Zaha, FFS will definitely start imo..

Walker is the only FB we've got who can mark Zaha.

 

[Gabriel]

Will be a tough one. They carry more of a threat up top than Brighton and can be more direct as well, having players who can carry the ball quickly over distance. Looking forward to seeing Eze and Zaha and how we cope with their threat. We looked leggy the other night so time for a few changes.

How come Palace haven't won more games & aren't in the top half of the table if their as good as some are saying....Zaha is utter shite,just a headless chicken, he's been at Palace all this time for a reason....

Walker is the only FB we've got who can mark Zaha.

Cue Zaha flinging himself to the floor at every opportunity and then rising to his knees, arms outstretched and eyes bulging like a cartoon character, and appealing for yellow cards and penalties. Repeat ad nauseum

I remember a game at Selhurst a couple of seasons ago Walker didn't give Zaha a sniff he was outstanding that day.

Went to that match and is what I was basing my comment on. Walker properly knuckled down that day and showed that he is a top full back.

We will need to improve on the second half Brighton display , we have an extra 24 hours rest than Palace , so we cant complain about tiredness ,Walker has to start against Zaha it the type of contest Walker thrives on , with Cancelo on the left side.
We need to put in a decent 90 minutes and get another victory with a clean sheet , and put the pressure on the 'istree clubs , and remind them it isnt a two horse race , its nijinsky versus two donkeys.

He will but that will show our defence is doing their job

“Ref!!! Ref!!!!”

Cancelo had him in his pocket last season at Selhurst park,might as well have not been on the pitch

 

[Norbiton]

“Ref!!! Ref!!!!”

Please don’t let Bernardo tweet that
