League cup - Crystal Palace pre-match thread

Indeed. We'd be banned for using 12 players.

Hahaha....

I didn't think KDB looked jaded at all yesterday. He's a youngish lad and he looks full of running. He was just totally contained by the United defence. That happens, from time to time. I'd play him for this one, because with Silva, Nasri, and Aguero still all out, we can't really do without KDB for the time being. His ability to make the surprising pass out of almost nothing is just too valuable to us. The man that looks really tired, really jaded, to me, is Yaya. Unfortunately, I just don't see who we bring in for him.

I'm not saying I don't care but I'm more worried about other upcoming games and won't view it as the end of the world if we lose.

In saying that, however, if we do lose then Pellegrini out.

Very hard to pick a team without knowing the injury status of the players. We could do with resting Sagna and Kolarov given how reliant we are and desperate for Zab and Clichy to get back to form. Fdinho could do with a rest - i think he has played every game. Delph in - if fit. Nacho could do with a game + he scored against them and maybe Bony of the bench in this one. KDb has not played too many game so i'd start him. Roberts in for Sterling would be a bold move. Navas back in. I'd play Oto and Mangala at the back. Mdm of the bench to kill the game if we get a lead. So after that rambling this is what i'd put out if possible.

Willy
Zab, Oto, Mangala, Clichy,
Navas, KDB, Fdo, Delph, Roberts,
Nacho

Dinho is suspended anyway

 

[Bluep*ss]

Yaya and Fernandhino need a break.

Kompany needs game time and want Roberts and Nacho given game time.

God knows how we will approach this though

Dhino is guaranteed a rest........................(suspended)

That is spot on for me except I think Nasri for KDB. Give the boy a breather

Kompany does not need game time and will not be risked with a big game at weekend in prem and a mid week game in Seville.
