League cup - Crystal Palace pre-match thread

Some kind of ankle injury,must have been a fracture or ligament damage to be out this long

Thanks Karen. Ankle ligament damage can sometimes be worse than a break. It explains the caution in getting him back into training with the squad. Hopefully not too much longer.

If he doesn't play a good few kids tomorrow he's taking a huge risk on the key men for the rest of the season, there's a few of them that look dead on their feet. If we're serious about the CL then we need to keep our star players as fresh as possible as the rest of Europe can rely on a winter break to freshen up, we can't.

Winter break, winter break whats all that about you mean those peskey lads over the chanel have an unFair advantage.

Everybody who's saying Caballero's a clown. Granted, he was crap last time out, but if this is so, we've got a problem, of a fairly major kind. One injury to Hart, and we're up shit creek. He's got to be played a bit more, to verify whether that is in fact the case (he came here with quite a high reputation, in fact). And if he's not good enough, he's got to be shifted.

I have been thinking about it, I have never seen a keeper go from hero to zero so quickly,
I think his eyes have gone, the way he flaps and flounders is ridiculous.

I don't understand why they should be any more dead on their feet than anyone else.

Because we play more games than most!

let's hope we will not repeat what arse done tonight and put in a strong performance 2-1 win Go Cityyy

We've gone out repeatedly playing full strength sides because we have a mentality of 'turn up and we'll win'. Fuck that. Give Nacho and Roberts a start, then the rest will know they have to be on their game as well.

Arse and Chavski are out - we should play our strongest team
