Pre Match Thread | Palace v City

We play with wing backs so navas would do great in that position as hes fast and works hard but im hoping sagna will be fit fingers crossed.

You cannot play Navas at RB. Full back is a defenders postion, they need to be able to head, tackle and probably most importantly, cover the CBS when they're are dragged out of position. It can only be covered by a defensive minded player, our best bet is Otamendi, jet lag apart.

 

[BucksBlue]

So we need a poll for right back if Sagna does not recover.
Candidates

Kompany
Fernandinho
Otamendi
Maffeo
Navas

My back four
Kompany Demichelis Mangala Kolarov

 

[Len Rum]

I think Navas could do a job at RB, playing as a winger he has proved he will get forward like a modern fullback and that he will track back. If not then play Maffeo with Navas just in front for extra cover.

You are on the wind up.


Aren't you?

 

[BucksBlue]

Sagna will play

.. and Delph?

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

You are on the wind up.


Aren't you?

What part is the wind up exactly?

 

[bellsouth]

Had a quick look at a couple of Palace forums and seems they have a few injury concerns themselves

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Aguero not back in time for Saturday's game?

Bony is expected to re-join the group today and the Ivorian could be in line to start v CPFC. Aguero will return late from Int duty #MCFC

Palace fan here...

Your start to the season has been fantastic and at present I can't see anyone presenting much of a challenge to City, especially not the red muppets.

Just wanted to ask a question: do none of you remember what happened in this fixture last season?
