Crystal Palace (A) - Match Thread

[sly1]

I'm for changes but 7

[mo-rima]

You won't see Liverpool or man u.

Make that many changes 

[Paninistickers]

I'd imagine the plan is an holding exercise until 65.mins and make some tactical changes at that point.

 

I've no issue with the changes but I'd have preferred some.muscle and know how with Wes and Fuchs and ideally  Soyuncu all starting

Five apparently 

 

 

see above - no idea if the five I read was correct 

 

Madders picked up a knee injury and was already carrying a knock. Can’t currently play twice a week

 

 vards the same - we will get a half out of him if we are more than one down at half time ....

3 of the back 4 have changed they have one of the Mitchell brothers playing left back

I am mortified. If we win with that cancer of an eleven then we are winning the league. No question about it. No club would be able to take the piss with a side that and not win it.

Did you tune out this time last year? 
 

Team is absolutely fine, we have made two more changes than Palace. Hopefully be a good game

Not against zaha. Thomas can compete in a race

Seriously? Thonas lacks pace as well, certainly as a winger. Most who watch him know that.

Come on the 🦊🦊🦊🦊

No point moaning about the team before a balls been kicked, some of those players were signed for multi millions and should be more than good enough.

I was alright seeing that lineup. Until I saw Palace’s. They barely made any changes...

We'll just have to hope they (Palace team) are all knackered then.

Lampard is quoted as saying he'll make six of seven changes for Chelsea at 5.30pm.

[berniethebolt]

Of the starting 11, most solid and have bewn starters in numerous games (Praet, Mendy, Thomas, Perez)

 

Hamza is a concern, I still see him as far to casual for large parts and Mendy does his job. I see Youri leaving the biggest hope to fill as hes been superb the last 5/6 games.

 

Still plenty to get the job done, come on boys

This is a football forum, you need to get off the fence and give it to us straight.

Amartey Mendy and Choudhury in the same team 

Commence Operation Mindfuch!

[Number 6]

Thought this was widely expected anyway after last year? A lot of those players have already played their part this season, they can do so again today. Can only imagine the reaction if we went full strength and ended up with injuries.

[matty98]

I don't mind the line up tbh...

 

Seems like Rodgers is hoping Crystal Palace will be leggy as they're playing a pretty standard line up for them so he's playing Praet and Choudhury to offer us some intensity in the midfield.

[theessexfox]

Tielemans for Hamza and thats a really steady team that was winning games at the start of the season. Nacho stepped up well at this time last year, hopefully he can do the same again

[RowlattsFox]

If players are managing injuries then it's the right thing to do. Would have liked Maddison on the bench. Midfield is a concern but as long as we are solid, we have the quality to win the game, either with the front 3 or Vardy off the bench. 

 

Amartey in a 2 is interesting and a test for Thomas against Palace pacey attackers. 

 

We'll see what happens. 

[HighPeakFox]

Always pleased to see people refer to our own team as 'cancer' and calling the manager brain dead. An absolute credit to us all, lads.

If Gray comes off the bench, there will be a literal price tag attached to his shirt.

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

 

This match should have been played on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Yep. Still can’t work out why this or any other game needs to be played today. There are 3 TV outlets who can work around a busier schedule on Tuesday/Wednesday. It’s a disregard for the game and the players. It will be complained about, just like the poor performances of the ref and just like the ref complaints falls on deaf ears, so will this.
