Palace Away Pre-Match thread

[coolhandfox]

No reason then TV to have only a hour 48 gap.

 

We have a 5 day gap between Palace and the Newcastle game, move this a day would have given you a 3 and 4 day gap.

 

Would take a draw today.

 

5 points form Spurs, Man U and Palace away would be a decent return.

CP..also have suffered heavily from Major injuries in the last month+, so I disagree with Any CP Management thoughts towards sending Roy on his way..!!

I think he'll be lucky to see the season out.

I've no idea why the Christmas- New Year schedule means that teams play twice in 48 hours when they don't at any other point of the season.

[WigstonWanderer]

No real excuses for this one - not that that ever guarantees anything.

 

- Squad almost back to full strength

- A bit more recovery time than Palace

- Used to playing 2 matches a week

- In pretty good form relative to Palace

- Away form good

 

2 1 City.

It's things like this that make me worried.

[Spudulike]

If we can manage to stop giving the opposition free headers in our box from set pieces then I think we'll be OK today.

Rest Tielemans, start Tavares. Break the internet.

Brendan Rodgers says he could rest Jamie Vardy for Leicester's clash against Crystal Palace today - amid fears he may lose his star striker for two months if he plays.

What the headline says, and...

After this we have 6 days to the next league game and then another 13 days to the one after that. So still don't think we need to make more than about 4 changes for what will be a tricky game.

BR has said that Youri is one of those players who benefits from more game time and judging by his performances this seems to be the case.

How is everyone going to celebrate Slimani's first goal for us today since Caitlin Jenner had a chopper?

My initial thought was to helicopter my chopper, but alas, it's either long enough, or flexible enough, and never the twain shall meet.

Is this on Amazon Prime?

Yeah, easy to see us gifting them something but I think we'll turn the screw. Law of averages suggests another PL manager ought to be close to getting the sack and I think it's Hodgson.

We used to love getting a manager the sack too. 

 

Hodgson either goes after a 6-3 drubbing today or gets another 4 games as a result of their encouraging and customary 2-0/3-0 win against 'high-flying Leicester'

Yes, would have answered even quicker if I can find screenshot on this bloody new phone!

 

Woop woop! Standard android shortcut. Power + volume down.

Sit back and soak the game up with Mendy in DM for the 1st half, 2nd half bring Wilf on and go for the kill.

[Master Fox]

Incoming Kelechi masterclass today.

Pretty certain Vardy won't start. Think Kelichi will be fine if he has bodies close to him, but if we leave him isolated then we're a bit screwed.

I just want to see us score from a corner. That’s all I ask.

Don't take away the Youri

[Leicester_Loyal]

Wouldn't start Vardy today, bring him on at 65/70 minutes (unless we're 2 or 3 goals up then give him the whole game off).

[Dahnsouff]

If Kelechi starts, start him with Ayoze for the love of God

[Wymsey]

Graham Scott is the referee.
