Crystal Palace (A) - Match Thread

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Jim Rosenthal now there is a blast from the past! 

[whoareyaaa]

If Morgan is fit enough to be on the bench why can't he start?

 

Changes was expected with the time scale between the games, could go either way

Why don’t people stop, take a breath, try to understand the reasoning for the side before firing out a load of pony.

Vardy carrying a groin injury but on the bench

Youri everyone wanting him to have rest he’s on the bench against Palace rather that than Man U.

Ndidi recently back from injury on the bench

Timmy recently back from injury played twice in 5 days rested

Madders, Fofana and Under all carrying knocks rested

 

Whats hard to understand?

yup - you have a good point when you put it that way. Wonder how far off Ricky is from coming back?

[Dan]

Few too many changes for me. Wouldn't have gone quite that weak. Against a pretty physical side as well - asking for trouble. We do have the sub options to turn this though.

[Guest Col city fan]

Oh no

Afartey is in....

😩

Blame this on the Premier League for their stupid fixture scheduling, not Rodgers.

 

This match should have been played on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Agreed no need to play today

Eh? You’d start Morgan over Amartey or Evans? 

Yes

[fuchsntf]

How high do you rate BRs selection..

How about a high-5...I

You have been on here long enough to know that speaking a little sense is not allowed

How come players in the seventies/eighties.. coped with a couple of fixtures over the Christmas and New Year period?

[katieakita]

Pretty sure the manager and back room staff has looked at the squad assessed fitness and picked a team to win this game. Some on here i swear just love a moan and everybody possesses hindsight we also have a decent bench if needs be lets just see how it goes and perhaps some will be pleasantly surprised plenty of fresh legs and people with points to prove up the Foxes

[Nick]

Roy's team talk:

 

Stop Harvey Barnes and don't let Hamza break one of your legs and we may win this.

"Leicester back in the capital again where they recently won with a smash and grab raid at Tottenham."

 

Tw@t!

[The_Rorab]

I'm willing to bet the same subsection of people would be absolutely lampooning Rodgers after the match for not rotating them if say Castagne or Ndidi were to have played and subsequently got injured again! 

 

There are certainly words like disgrace and cancerous being thrown around which entirely beggar belief

 

We'll see how the team plays, there can definitely be certain question asked of Rodgers in individual selection if we have an abject game, but at the very least it will ensure we likely don't suffer long-term consequences to the heavy schedule of games. Hopefully it'll be enough to get a result today

[Vacamion]

 

Christ Jim Rosenthal sounds less up for it that some of you lot.

 

Come on City 

 

Gwon Big Dan 

 

Hamza Choudhury, let's see what you can do.

Because football was rubbish back then and they played at walking pace.

It’s a different game now, these guys are race horses and the games a lot faster and will get different injuries.

In the 70/80s the biggest injury was a hangover

Come on, the game is unrecognisable since then.

Completely different level of competition now. 70s and 80s teams would get destroyed by modern teams.

Over are they just over pampered?

Is Ally McCoist on co-commentary? I love that guy.

No tackling nowadays and no muddy pitches

Main thing is the lack of decent haircuts
