Crystal Palace (Away) Match Thread

subs?

[HoustonFox]

Strong team, I think this group just likes playing and playing, and Shakey knows this. Those that got rested at Everton looked more knackered than those that didn't. 

 

Shows Shakey taking our league status seriously. Let's back it up with the result

Peculiar. Heard about any injury? 

 

If not, does that mean Slimani might start v. Atletico? Would be surprising but might make sense if Atletico are expected to sit deep....

Picked up an injury yesterday I've just found out according to twitter.

Yeah, there are subs too. Not just XI...

[J.Lisemore]

Hope Slimani is rested, we'll need him at some point on Tuesday 

[Chico1958]

Wow didn't expect that

 

Strong Team................ No King comments please

 

Good to see Drinkwater not playing considering this seasons performance

I hope it's only minor as we could do with him for Atletico, even if only from the bench.

 

Otherwise, great opportunity for Ulloa to prove his worth today - and potentially from the bench on Tuesday.

He's rarely let us down. I'm expecting him to leave in the summer, but would like him to stay - he offers something different and seems to have good mental strength - good in a crisis.

SSurprisingly stronger than I imagined. No Gray is dumb though. Gutted for Slim, expecting the Slim conspiracists to claim he purposely got injured for this one?

 

[Harry96]

Would've thought gray would be starting this unless he's going to be starting on Tuesday maybe?

He'll aim for the bum but probably end up biting the elbow

[Phube]

I think we should have tried an Amartey-Benny pairing prior to Tuesday.

[st albans fox]

Hopefully shakey and big sam have agreed a relaxing 1-1 between them 

[maddog]

If we lose by a narrow margin Tuesday then this team selection is going to upset me.

 

If we are thrashed Tuesday I'm going to blame too many first steamers in today's selection.

 

If we lose to Palace with this team and look tired Tuesday its a double blow.

 

Basically if we beat Atletico 2-0 or 3-1 Tuesday then I love this selection haha

 

Anything else and I'd have to question Shakey. Could have rested Ndidi at least he'll have a hell of a job screening the defence Tuesday and need to cover a lot of ground. 

[seenitall]

genuine question - not trolling - if Shakey loses today and then goes out of Europe midweek, does anything less than a win at Arsenal make him as crap as Claudio was (5 defeats/non wins on the trot) and therefore mean he has to go too?

If he plays against Atletico prepare for the conspiracists unleash.
