Palace v City pre match thread

Game hasn't even started yet for fuck sake! Get behind the lads regardless of who's in the starting 11.

442 LET THE FLAPPING COMMENCE

It's not 4 4 2 though, it's 4 2 2 2.


But still the flapping.

I'm still surprised Dzeko is starting but it's pretty obvious Bony is injured.

I posted this on the pre match thread for West Brom.

Turns out I have worked out Pellegrini's 3 point plan to picking a team.


''Firstly we need to follow the 3 steps of picking a Pellers team.

1. It's going to be 442
2. There has to be at least 2 changes to the back 4. AT LEAST!! Around 5 changes in total.
3. A player not picked to even sit on the bench of the last game will be involved (probably from the start).''

Come on City, lets show some pride and passion tonight, im optimistically hoping we batter them tonight....lets go, think it will all click tonight for some reason 4-0 City.

Just noticed no Nasri,must still be on the naughty step

Crazy. No Jovetic or Nasri, two players who can change a game.

Using that logic we should have brought back Danny Mills, because Bolasie is also very shit. :)

I wouldn't start calling their players until the final whistle. Bolasie is a very big worry for us tonight

He'll be just as shit at the final whistle as he is now regardless of how well or not we play.

You've gone and done it. Expect Bolasie to score a hat trick now

Nasri is on the bench

Can't believe dzeko is playing after his performance at burnley. Mangala should be in the team for the rest of the season too.

That's a really bad call by Manuel .
I would have kept Mangala in .
And i would have played Aguero on his own .

And maybe we would lose with your set up. We have our 11, which should be more than capable don't you think?

We will see .
But i haven't seen the likes of Dzeko do much for team moral this season .
And the thing that really pisses me off is the shuffling of the defence

Edin just played two lights out games for the NT...bagging 3 in the process...let's see if the form continues.

Plus he is traditionally our best scorer AWAY...not surprised by Pellers selection there, I expected it the whole way TBH.
