Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 12th April, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[BlueMojito]

Well I'm a bit baffled by the lineup. A few cider in the sun haven't made it any clearer. I guess time will tell. Come on you blue boys.

 

[simon23]

You think people are obsessing on a goal and not the many other attributes?

yes

the hype around Grealish since day at the club one has been well over the top - an average footballer who needs to leave

 

[Lavinda Past]

Fucking hell... Let the hilarity begin.

That selection looks like the sort of prank someone would play the day they quit work.

The only place we'll match them for pace is the subs bench.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

For those of you wondering why Pep has gone with thus line up, I think it's his way of saying to some if them....go out there and prove to me you deserve to be here next season. Probably McAtee, Gundogan, Lewis, Kovacic? Not bad players in my opinion, love them all.....but maybe the time for sentimentality has gone?

Explain KDB then?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

In Oman and its fucking sweltering. Watched some camel racing on the telly in the hotel.

Hope to fuck this is more entertaining.

with our midfield it will be like watching elephant racing

Yep - average treble winning international with a few recent excellent performances ie. in form . That's the incredulity at his omission, yet afkingain.
Shittest selection this season.

 

[ScottSinclair]

3 Mancunians starting is something we can be proud of though imo

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

with our midfield it will be like watching elephant racing

Elephant walking

Hope we don't have the hump after 90 odd minutes.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Sorry, but with the pace Palace have got, why no Khusanov?
Have I missed something? Do we have a game midweek Pep’s saving our players for?
Genuinely baffled.
Palace are in great form too.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

No Khusanov is utterly mental.

 

[B\connellblue]

No excuses for not winning this. Just get it done.

 

[hertsblue]

Shows where we are atm when id take the palace attack over ours

 

[mancboy]

No excuses for not winning this. Just get it done.

ill give you one, our midfield should be starting for soccer aid not us

 

[Saddleworth2]

No excuses for not winning this. Just get it done.

the excuse would be that by form, they are the best team in the PL just now and we are 14th.

A few excellent recent performances....besides Leicester which other ones have been excellent? HIs cameo at the swamp was dire for starters

And thats ignoring nearly 2 seasons of absolute mediocrity at best after the treble and also a season before that where he was no more than average either...

As said overhyped
