drofmor55 Posted 1 November 2019 Share Posted 1 November 2019 Believe that BR was manager at Liverpool when they were 3-0 up at Crystal Palace and conceded 3 goals in that last 15 mins to drop 2 points that cost them the league title. He will know better than anyone what they are capable of and their physical style of play. As such he will not let any complacency creep into our team. A repeat of the sort of performance away at Sheff Utd would be just the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring Albrighton on to help steady the ship once we are ahead or if Zaha is giving chilly the run around Hopefully Chilly will reproduce his good form from last week and keep Zaha reasonably quiet.

Crazy I know, especially as Perez got a hat trick last week. However, with Zaha attacking our right, I don’t want Perreira to be boxed in. The best way to deal with their obvious threat is for Riccy to keep attacking as he does and Marc will offer the cover better then anyone else who can play there. Wrong. The best way to deal with their threat is to attack and fight fire with fire. So you have Zaha? Nice one but I see your one good player and I raise you Barnes, Vardy, Perez, Maddison and Tielemans. We cannot start changing players and tactics just because of one opposing player. We attack them we win, simples. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete from the USA Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 Toughest match of the season. When the critics say we struggle against teams that sit deep and defend, they are talking about Palace. But Rodgers' side are the new deal. If we go there and put out 100% we can win this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attack is better than theirs so we need to ensure we are the ones attacking not defending. That’s where Albrighton comes in to offer that cover when we do lose the ball.

We should be fine cover wise with Ndidi and Cags and Evans as cover. Albrighton is a bench player these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Liverpool whose only strength was to attack(breathtaking) and nothing to come off the bench. People don't realize how threadbare Liverpool was at that point in the season. Running on fumes due to ownerships inability to strengthen in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc531mellors Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 Bit of a long shot, but I'm currently in New Orleans and wondering if there's any sports bars downtown that will be open for tomorrow's 8am kick-off here. Hotel TV only showing CNBC (Arsenal v Wolves at moment) but our game is on NBCSN. Any suggestions would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly see Crystal Palace as harder than Liverpool or Chelsea, I think some people sometimes say these things partly as a comfort blanket for themselves should we lose combined with the ability to be able to say I told you so for the same reason. If we play our game we should be all over these like a rash! A bang average side managed by a very decent manager who always organises his club sides well. Every week it seems for some it's going to be the hardest game of the season. This one really isn't. Could we lose? Of course we could, any team can lose any game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamomoa Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 Quite a big game 2moz! If Palace win they go 5th if we win we go 6pts above 5th. That would be some statement. I no we have been saying every game is big so far but when ur at the top every game is big. I'm confident we will knick it. Probably only by 1 goal. Defo wont be a 9-0 scenario but would love that!

whoareyaaa Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 same team as Southampton, Palace are nothing special they will try and get in our faces and look for an early goal but I think we will carry on in the same fashion and turn them over quite easily in the end. if we want top four then we need to come away with 3 points tomorrow. 1-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
