Luton Town (A) - Sun 10th Dec, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

What we need from this weekend is for us to beat Luton, and for Villa to beat the Arse. I expect very little from the Palace vs Liverpool game. I'm well aware that that wouldn't actually change the standings — we'd still be fourth — but it would make the points tallies look a sight healthier.

That midfield is a country mile better than the one that started the last game

Well, the one that started the last game was a midfield composed of non-midfielders! So it's not difficult.

Sounds like Pep is wanting more creativity in the squad, maybe we might be active in January after all

Sounded also like a veiled warning to the execs not to get complacent, especially in the January window ;)

The pitch may be okay but there's hardly any room past the touchlines. I've been there a few times over the years and the dugouts and stands are really close to the pitch

That s closeness of the hoardings to the pitch was evident in the Arsenal match.
First goal was scored when ball went out for a throw in that rebounded to an Arsenal player off the hoardings.

I thought he's been good last two games.

You don't take out your toughest defender and main leader of this team in a game like Luton away, it will be like an old fashioned cup game this Sunday.

I would take out Dias tbh, having a mare as of late

play with a back four and he'll be fine

Set the braided one free!!!

Good, honest press conference that, just watched it now.

Can't see it mate

Me neither, buddy. Luton will be well up for it on Sunday. Every game for them this season is a free hit and playing at home against the current European champions will be a dream come true. We can turn that dream into a nightmare and at least I can enjoy the NFL on Sunday night.

Come on you Blues.

…and concede a 103rd minute equaliser to draw 1-1 ;)
