filbertway Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 0 2. Palaces defence should gobble up our terrible long balls. You've got to fancy them to score as couple as well. Benteke must be looking forward to this one.
lgfualol Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Not sure what to think of this one. I think Ranieri will put out the same side again as last night with more late subs. Zaha and Townsend will give us no end of problems and I expect we will concede a lot of corners. Because of this, I don't know what team I would want. We can't play two small forwards if this hopeless long ball thing still persists. I almost want Ranieri to ban our defenders from doing it because all it does is invite pressure. I'm a bit concerned we resort to it 9.5/10 times and teams like Palace will have an easy afternoon because like everyone else, they will drop back and not allow it. Never like playing Palace. 1-1 - Benteke with theirs and one from Slimani.
Tielemans63 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 As good as a 6 pointer even at this early stage. Absolutely crucial that we get the 3 points.
Monsell1976 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Performance like recent games, with lacking quality and composure, another hammering could be on the cards. Palace are a decent side, going 0-3, post champions league shocker
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 We played poorly yesterday despite the win, play hoofball like that again and we'll get done 0-2 or 0-3. Play quick counter attacking football on the floor and I'd fancy us to take it 2-0. Unfortunately the former is more likely to happen right now and there goes our unbeaten home record.
Ted Maul Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 They lost at home to West Ham last game, so hopefully they're about to embark on another Pardew losing streak. Decent side, but we'll beat them if we turn up. Big if, at the minute though. We do seem to have a knack of not conceding home goals this season, despite not playing brilliantly. If we do win we will be around 10th, 3 of the hardest away games out of the way, with a 100% record in the CL- that's a decent start, in my opinion.
purpleronnie Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Massive game. These are the teams we have to beat. If we don't we will be in a relegation battle.
kingcarr21 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Dann will have a field day if we play continuous long balls. Quite happy to play 4-4-2 bit would like us to mix it up a bit. Would like to see Gray start and give Albrighton a rest. Don't think Albrighton has been particularly bad but with the way Gray has started and his form with England we should be nurturing his game whenever we can. Kasper Simpson Huth Morgan Fuchs Gray Drinky Amartey Mahrez Vardy/Okazaki Slimani Feel like Okazaki is the missing link in our Prem form so wouldn't mind seeing him on the pitch a bit more. Any 2 of Vardy Okazaki and Slimani. Feel bad for Musa. Want to see him get more pitch time also. Kasper Hernandez Morgan Huth Albrighton Drinky Amartey Schluup Mahrez Musa Vardy/Slimani This would be lethal. Would have Fuchs over Schluup if he proved to be a capable wingback.
StriderHiryu Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Hard to say what will happen in this one. Palace were on a decent run but floundered at home against West Ham. Will go for a win, but we need to up our game. I didn't think the performance against Copenhagen was all that great and think we'll need to be better than that. I'd like to see some rotation with Okazaki coming into the team for this one.

He seems to be rushing everything at the moment, as in, he gets it and without even looking, launches high balls to no one. I would have Gray in for him from the start but he doesn't cover as well defensively. I wish Kaputska had played more by now, and then we might have a more like for like change. Gray for me though still, or at very least, he plays a large part of the game as I really do think he is a top player and he needs to be playing more, especially as we have been pretty poor recently! Couldn't agree more just can't understand why he aint starting games to be honest

But thats the thing our defensive Morgan huth and Simpson are not good on the ball and everytime they get it panic and thing huff it we need a passing centre back alongside huth or Morgan and a good on the ball right back and a good technicaly gifted cm alongside drinkwater then the long balls would stop
dannythefox Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Same team but grey for albrighton and Okazaki for slimani.
Wilson_6 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Kasper Simpson Wes Huth Fuchs Drinks Mahrez King Gray Shinji Vardy
reynard Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Perhaps if we play the Champions League music at the start our lads will get confused and actually turn up. This will be a tough match and one we really need to win. Already a 6 pointer in my opinion.

foxes21 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 4-4-1-1: Kasper, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs, Gray, Drinkwater, James, Kaputska, Ulloa, Musa I'd like to see some rotation to keep everyone fresh. Would love to have Okazaki in there, but I don't think this is the right game. He'd be more useful at Spurs away. However, Ulloa is great at defending set pieces which is Palace's main threat. Also he could be a decent partner for Musa. He holds the ball well, gets flick ons, tracks back and, scores goals. Very underrated.
adejo92 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 F&$k it! whats the worst that could happen! kasper Simpson Huth Morgan Fuchs Mahrez DD Gray Slimani Vardy Okazaki

Monsell1976 Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Palace are very good at set pieces, the game will depend on wether we can defend
