Ian Nacho Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Schmeichel, Amartey, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Thomas Mendy, Praet, Choudhury, Under, Iheanacho, Perez. What I think it’ll be. 3

We need to play the team we played vs Spurs/Utd. Castange and Ndidi in those positions are huge upgrades on Fuchs and Mendy respectively. We are a top team with our top players. If we start rotating too many then we are very average. Average teams won’t go to Palace and expect to win, so we need to play our best team or we will likely not win. I think Vardy and Evans out For Nacho and Soyuncu is fair but we need to keep the spine or itll be more thrown points and post match ‘I don’t understand why we can beat Spurs and then lose to sh*t palace’ when it’s quite clear why if we set up differently. 31 minutes ago, volpeazzurro said: I suppose a lot depends how many of them come out of today's game. Castagne, Ndidi and Maddison are recently back from injury and will have to be managed to prevent niggling an injury and that will be down to certain staff to evaluate. Vardy's groin issue also. I'm sure they'll play if deemed fit enough to do so but better to miss one match than be out for another month. Yeah I think Vardy should be rested, Castange possibly but Ndidi NEEDS to play. Unless he’s injured stick him in and take him off at 60 if needed etc. I know he’s not long comeback from injury but he’s 23 years old, a fit young lad and there’s no way he shouldn’t be able to do at least an hour. I always think play your best team and rest in games if 1-0 up. If we are losing 1-0 playing our weaker team then bring them on chasing the game, it makes it worse and they end up wasting more energy chasing the game. Being ahead in a game makes it easier and in turn makes less chance of injuries because your doing less desperate pressing and chasing when unneeded. 1
wardyfox86 Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Don't know why Vardy needs resting, he doesn't run around alot these days anyway, he needs to stay in. 1 of Maddison or Tielemans need to play. Justin is a machine and can play tonight if needed. If we play 4atb, Ndidi must play.

What I think it’ll be. We'd come home with absolutely f all if we went with that. Not saying you're wrong, but I don't think we should rotate wholesale. Palace have even less recovery time than us, and a far smaller squad. Fuchs in a 2 and a back 4 with barely any minutes in their legs, and Choudhury starting would give Palace a huge advantage. 1
sdb Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Kasper Forfana Evans Soyuncu Justin Fuchs Tielemans Ndidi Perez Vardy Praet Would be my call. Maddison, Barnes et.al to enter later on.
Ecdysiast Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 This is where the new facility comes in handy....no extra travel, no external distractions, all those pools and cryo-chambers. Should get a better turn-around than Palace. 1
RowlattsFox Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 I think Kasper, Justin and Fofana could be only ones to start again. Maybe Tielemans because Rodgers is reluctant to rest him. It's a gamble either way, we rest and lose or we don't and get key injuries. I might be tempted to go with Vardy, other attacking positions are easy to rotate.
mozartfox Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Eze and Zaha up against Fuchs? Me thinks not. Need little Wes for this one.
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Schmeichel Amartey Fofana Soyuncu Justin Mendy Choudhury Praet Perez Iheanacho Barnes subs: ward, Fuchs, Evans, tielemans, Maddison, Albrighton, Vardy

Worst PL team I've seen since Bournemouth about 6 months ago... Maybe they're saving themselves for us. They're a big awkward side to play against with a goal threat in Zaha. But with the intent we've shown in the last two I feel we will be ready for them and win, Even with a changed team. 1
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Will be a tough game but winnable Up the Foxes 🦊 1
baldeagle Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Not too bothered who plays as long as Fuchs doesn’t and that’s not a slight on him just the fact Palace have a lot of pace in their side . 1
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Get this won early and then rest the lads that need it.
lgfualol Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Think it'll be summut like Schmeichel Amartey Fofana Evans Justin Hamza Praet Thomas Perez Vardy Barnes

Gazza M Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 There is a few days off after this one so not so sure it will be 9 changes like West Ham away last year. I would go: Kasper Justin Evans Cags Thomas Mendy Praet Under Perez Barnes Vardy 1
Spudulike Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Could be a set piece nightmare. They have some very big players and our defensive vulnerabilities were evident again today vs Man Utd. 1
Heymister2015 Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Time to bring Demarai Gray out from the cold against very very tired legs. 2
Pliskin Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 These are absolute bobbins, we should see them off, and retire old Roy. 1

Trav Le Bleu Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 We need to make sure Palace's Christmas is well and truly ruined.

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 26 December 2020 Posted 26 December 2020 Early goal would be huge given they've played so badly the last 2 games, their heads would likely drop and we'd cruise to victory, give it everything first 20 minutes and then we'll have this wrapped up you'd like to think. Longer they stay in the game more belief they'll get. 4

It will probably get mocked but that's not the worst idea. He was very decent for us after the season resumed, when most of the squad was garbage. 1
