League cup - Crystal Palace pre-match thread

No reason to drop Hart other than loss of form or injury.........especially when our number two is a liability

We all know that Hart wont be playing so it's all a bit pointless don't you think, I think quite a few first team players will be rested with him

 

[Rammy Blue]

Manuel will probably pick a full strength side, he'd no doubt pick Merlin and Sergio if he could....

 

[George Hannah]

Looks like Ambrose, Glendon and Bryan won't be involved on Wednesday after their exertions tonight.
Barker, Roberts and Iheanacho almost certainly in the squad and those last two could well start.

Willy in net, do me a favour. Had our worst defeat in about 5yrs last time he got a game!!

One reason to play him is because he needs the game time to improve. If heart gets injured we would be thankful of every minute he had played going in to a premier league game.

Heart?

Heart (2 Hart) coz Willie is Muuydurrr.

I think we will play a strong team as Palace are a good side.

I would like to see Kelechi start although I do wonder whether Manuel will start Bony so he can gain confidence.

Hopefully Roberts can get a start.

Those two are the only youngsters I can see getting a start, the rest will be be possible substitutes.

It is a given that Willy will be in goal for this game - I just hope he's not in the next game (aka Spurs)

Strongest available team to start with judicious use of the subs. Silverware is silverware, and we made a big mistake last season in this area.
