Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 27th Aug 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Heath Park]

Thought I’d watch Pep pre-game press conf and within 2 minutes realised why I’d stopped ages ago. Trophies galore, record points hauls and yet they’re still constantly trying to get him on the back foot. When you compare it to the sycophantic fawning of managers who have achieved little in comparison, or previous managers whose record Pep can rival, it’s a disgrace.

Indeed but it also puts fire in Pep's belly.
He certainly gets the media bias against us...

He seemed tense, a bit more than usual.

Not sure what to make of that but he wasn't having any shit from them.

Remember when Ake was going to Chelsea and some people said we didn't need to replace him.

Is there more? or is that it?

Just flood the penalty box area when attacking, luckily they are not one of the teams they can hurt us on the counter-attack.

They literally beat us last season through effective counter attacking and have already scored twice from counter attacks this season (joint highest in the league).

That's it. Sorry to disappoint.

Has he mentioned any injury news, re Phillips and Mbete?

I'm in Mallorca on my hols and what chances have I of watching this on my phone?

Is it easier to do abroad?
