3-1 City

Ipswich and rags to both do us a favour.

Hopefully this ages well.

 

[Beanhead]

ederson; khusanov, dias, gvardiol, o'reilly; gonzalez, nunes; savinho, grealish, doku; marmoush

Yep that’s who I would pick.

If only.

 

[Beanhead]

If only.

Was going to type this too!

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Voted loss.
I've gone full Bertie since the dreadful displays of the last two games.

 

[mexico1970]

Take the 3 points here and I think we will do it, more importantly sunglasses and City shirt for the first time this year without a big coat.

Lovely Jubbly!

 

[Semper aggressus]

No Gundogan, KDB, Bernardo or Lewis hopefully.

……………….Ederson
Khusanov…..Dias…..Gvardiol….O’Reilly
……………..Gonzalez
……..Foden……….Grealish
Savinho………………………….Doku
…………….Marmoush

Go at them right from the beginning, and get the ball forwards as quickly and as often as possible. Get stuck into them.

[hertsblue]

Very hard to see where our goal threat is anymore as the last 2 games have shown. No idea of what team he picks or the result.

Referee: Jarred Gillett. Assistants: Darren Cann, Ian Hussin. Fourth official: Chris Kavanagh. VAR: Peter Bankes. Assistant VAR: Simon Bennett

 

[Mighty men]

I dont care who plays as long as KDB, Silva and Gundo are all given the day off.

I think that Palace at home and Fulham away are the two toughest League matches left.

I know a couple of Everton fans - according to them, Goodison is rocking again since Moyes has gone back and they are determined to give the old ground a good send-off in the few games left. Always a difficult place to go.

Tbh, every game - apart from Saints - has jeopardy written all over it.

I think we might be very grateful for PL earning that 5th UCL spot

 

[Goro]

They drawed Southampton
Didn’t see that coming

LOL I remember playing on those pitches. Hated it when I had to go and look for the ball.

 

[Marvin.]

Three Palace players who would probably walk into our side: Wharton, Eze and Mateta. Mateta is on a fine run of form at the moment (13 PL goals from 29 games). A 4th is Guehi but he's suspended.

I think we'll beat them though. We miss Haaland massively because when I look at our side, I find it very difficult to think of anyone who might score other than Marmoush, and when you only have 1 realistic goalscorer then it's easy to shut them down.

At least City are for the moment defending properly so we can win games 1-0. O'Reilly will play I think. He carries a threat at set-pieces.

Mateta. Wow we are in more trouble than I thought

 

[Fordyboy46]

Dire game coming up on Saturday, 1230 ko will make sure of that. Given up on us putting any decent performances in now so it's winning ugly that counts. We might scrape a 1-0 win here, that will do

I may (hopefully) be remembering this incorrectly but I swear we have played Palace in the early Saturday kick off a few times in the last 5/6 years and it hasn’t gone particularly well. Might be imagining it though.

No you're not mate. I can't recall the scores though, but always grates because Palace are one of those teams we really should beat ( even our 17/18 maestros were held to 0-0 at 12.30 New Years eve 2017) and they have a habit of getting draws out of us. Then of course there is the 3-2 Andros Townsend worldie December 18.

They imo are one of our bogey teams.
