Delph is a fill in LB so doesn’t count.

Moreno is utter utter shite..Fact.

Baines... best years behind him.

Emerson ? Based on a few minutes in the PL ?

Davies is decent

Arsenal pairing....neither convince 

Baines best years behind him as opposed to fresh faced up and coming teenager Fuchs?

 

Delph plays left back but doesn’t count 

 

rightio

 

??

 

Christian Fuchs: Was dribbled past more times (52) than any other defender in Europe's top 5 leagues last season

 

2017

 

but he is one of the best 2nd choice left backs 

 

[lcfcsnow]

well he was right last week, so I can moan about Albrighton being on the right again

As I said, Delph is purely a fill in LB... I wasn’t fibbing my friend.

Unless you seriously think he is an out and out LB ? You do, don’t ya? Eh eh eh..??

 

Regarding Fuchs. The guy has never let LCFC down since arriving on a free..

He knows he now plays 2nd fiddle to a massively improved Chilwell. Does it moan, just gets on with it

Why is he leaking the team? Giving a massive advantage to Palace...

Applaud Fuchs, not slate him you tool!

 

The point being you numbskull, he isn’t one of the best 2nd left backs out there.

He doesn’t moan? His on 50k a week

 

would he get a game over the players I listed no

 

There is a stat there from who scored 

if you think having the most taken on defender in any of the top 5 leagues (when he was 30 and playing regularly) isn’t a weakness then you’re more stupid than I thought

[fazzyfox]

Without Zaha they'll spread their play more evenly which will mean more of the ball for Townshend so LB will be an important factor for us but I have faith in Fuchs. There may be an opportunity for Schlupp to sods law score against us but if we can forget last seasons joke of giving them six points and an 8-0 goal difference we should be looking at a 2-1 win or 1-1 at worst. Do what we're good at, don't let them become a bogey team (although they really get up my nose) and let's try to get Hodgson to call us a top ranking team and get him fined for disrepute at the same time.

Can Puel outwit the Owl?

On evidence to date: No

For me the Palace game brings back great memories from that famous season of ours.   1-0 to Leicester.  We're gonna win the league.........Great fans Great memories.   Foxes never quit.   I hope they have that fighting spirit today .

[East Langton Fox]

Without Zaha they struggle. Fuchs hasn’t let us down before and is as good a replacement as we have anywhere.

we won’t be as bad as last season, although I’ve been to Selhurst Park many times over the years and we don’t generally perform.

We need a good start, the fans get behind them if they can smell blood. A good start is key so Puel needs to get them fired up (mmm!)

Because he is an attention seeking nob.

 

Harsh on Evans imo. Morgan somehow turns into Calamity Morgan when he is with Maguire. Lets hope not this game. Attack isnt very exciting.

Looking forward to going back there for the first time since Simon Grayson's header against Wimbledon in 1997. Show that fighting spirit today and there's only one winner today (praying as he says it)..

 U23 keeper has travelled with the squad...

another garbage puel display awaits for the poor fans making the trip, feel sorry for them

I noticed that. They normally have three goalkeepers there on matchdays don't they, but Jakupovic on his way out maybe?

I know... But i must admit to checking to see on match days if he has posted anything - hypocrite! Nice for Fuchs to get a premier league match - . Just hope that Chilwell's knee injury won't keep him out for long - really need him for Tuesday as Fuchs will not doubt struggle with two matches in a quick succession. 

 

Anyhow I have woken up feeling very positive about it all - today we avenge for last year. 

 

Just out of interest I went to remind myself of what the team was for that fixture. Kasper was out (Hamer replacing him), Albrighton came in at RB (even though Simpson was apparently on the bench - I hadn't remembered it that way?) and Hamza in midfield... oh and we had left out Dragovic (still kind of miss that guy). Yeah we had Mahrez then, but we now have Maddison and Ricardo... I would definitely take this line up over what it was back in April!!

Sounds like it. If Hamza makes the bench then I'd bet both Jak and Silva will be sold soon.

We need Evans for the more important game on Tuesday ........ 

[walkerleeds]

Interesting to see if we go full strength given the game on Tuesday.

 

Would be happy if he played the ressies today and prioritizes the cup personally. 

[lgfualol]

Townsend is going to score a banger early on. I can feel it.

I hope Mendy has learned a lesson from Son and closes down everything in sight thats anywhere near our box

[Haywood_6]

The worst away day i've ever been to last time, but today is another day and we go again.

 

Come on City

Difficult to out-twit an owl in all honesty.

Lost their last 13 without him scoring 3 goals....

 

And they're still favourites 

 

Their form isn't brilliant but Palace are at home. We're not Liverpool, why would you expect us to be favourites? I wouldn't. You could make an argument for both teams to be 6/4 but no more in my opinion.
