I was about to post the same thing.

Tight affair but expect a win, going 3-1

Back to PL business in earnest.

Much as I like Patrick Vieira, I wouldn’t like to be him tomorrow.

 

[sir baconface]

anyone not wanting KDB to play is pissed, that is all i have to say.

Or maybe sober and of the opinion he’d benefit from a rest.

Mahrez Foden Grealish Jesus Palmer
I'd perm a front 3 from those, my choice:
Grealish Jesus Mahrez
Bernardo Foden
Rodri
Back 4
Nutter

Is that choice more about getting Foden into the midfield 3 or Jesus into the CF role (or both)?

Loved Vieira. Class act and, IMO, had a major impact in the mentality change of the club around 2011.

He seems to be doing a good job at Palace but hasn't had the rub of the green thus far and performances suggest they should have more points than they do. I really can't call this one, on one hand they are a tough side and we are having a small stutter in form so could easily peter out into a 0-0 or 1-1, or even Palace nicking it. On the other hand, I can see us being right up for this after the midweek disappointment and rest (for many), and if we turn up and play at our best we could be cruising at 3 or 4.

Predicted XI:

Eddie

Walker____Dias______Laporte_____Cancelo

Bernardo____Rodri

_Jesus____--------_KDB____-_Foden_______Grealish
​

Possibly Gündogan for KDB and/or Mahrez for Jesus.

I don’t get the pessimism

think we’ll batter them

Met Viera when at City. What a nice guy. Had time for everyone. Hope he is a big success but please not tomorrow. 2 nil for me
