Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 30 Oct 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[SWPISHOME]

Going to be a very tough game this, Palace are playing really well but not getting the results they deserve with the performances they are putting in. Anyway I'll be happy seen Dias, Laporte, Bernardo back in the side Saturday!!!

I'll go for a 2-1 City win.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan

Foden
Grealish

Come on blue boys!

 

[lightning Rodri]

Ive watched a couple of their games and they've been very unlucky conceding ridiculous goals in the last minutes of games they should have won. They do find it difficult to score but that comes with having Ayew and Benteke up front although they also have Edouard and Zaha - no chance they will start all 4 though. They will work hard and Gallagher has looked OK on loan from Chelsea and Patrick has them organised at the back.
Having said that we should have too much for them providing we turn up and convert chances - Bernardo back to give us some proper legs in midfield. Its all about the goals.

I have also watched them a few times mainly because they've a decent style under Vieira. I think it's not just bad luck they tend to panic at the end of games and lose their confidence moving the ball around. May be a reflection of lack of complete trust of the new system.

Go along with that, but given last nights performance would be worried about the form of Gundogan …..

 

[waspish]

The way Viera sets his team up to play football but like pep be interesting if he sticks to that or changes to a team who will try to hit us on the break?

I would not be starting any of Sterling,Mahrez or KDB.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Stones
Cancelo

Gundogan is not exactly settling the world alight at present, Palmer who was one of our better players last night and would be a decent option imo.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Have Crystal Palace sold the 3rd tier tickets?
That would be a first - fair play to them.

Anyway, i think we’ll get back to winning ways……City 3-0 Palace

Gundogan is a better option than KDB presently,and we still require that dictation from midfield.Palmer is a talent,but still a very inconsistent one,and most certainly not one who can orchestrate the centre of the park.

Strongest team, time to put together a big winning run in the league.

Read the thread and worried, checked the league table stopped worrying they've won 1. 3-0 or more.
