Ian Nacho Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 I’d be happy with an unfortunate draw and a solid performance for 90 minutes. 1
Sunbury Fox Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 (edited) Lose this and next week (very likely against Man U) and, taking into account the end of last season, our record over the past 12 PL games will be W3 D1 L8. The 3 wins include narrow shaky wins against Man U's full B team and arguably the worst PL team for a decade (Norwich), along with a fortunate victory over Wolves, who've hardly been great themselves recently. Our poor form is way more than a blip. Edited 2 October 2021 by Sunbury Fox 3 1 1

Like i said in an earlier post, form will change and it could quite easily be Sunday. Our season needs to pick up for sure but I am confident the lads have it in them to turn it around. Gawd bless you suzie …….. I wish my glass was like yours
blueharmie Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 We play anywhere near like what we have been doing with that rancid style of boring negative football and we will get hammered big time and thats my prediction. 1

Jimothy Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Palace have a quick frontline. It's likely Zaha, Ayew and Edouard will play. We simply can't start with Vestergaard tomorrow, he'll get torn to shreds by those 3. He couldn't cope with the pace of Vydra and he's not as quick. I hope we go with something like Schmeichel Ricardo Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Soumare (if Ndidi is out) Tielemans Lookman Iheanacho Barnes Vardy 2

Stuntman_Mike Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 (edited) These games really do come round quick when you're in Europe! I'm still going to have Zubrowka coming out of my pores as I'm waddling out of Thornton Heath station. We need an ugly win Edited 2 October 2021 by Stuntman_Mike

Which is unfortunate. Its the Southgate mentality of addressing a weakness in your side by packing more of those players in. I know you need a solid defensive base to a team, but addressing the lack of quality centre backs by playing more of them is nonsensical. 1

I know you need a solid defensive base to a team, but addressing the lack of quality centre backs by playing more of them is nonsensical. Totally agree. Liverpool made the same mistake for much of last season, trying to fill their gaps at centre back by changing other bits of the team eg playing midfielders at CB. Their season only turned around when they went back to playing their normal system only with the reserve centre backs playing at CB. Okay, those CBs weren't great but they did a job and the rest of the team functioned better as a result. Trying to cover up by changing shape and/or players out of position just creates further weaknesses across the team. We rarely play well with 3 CBs so even though we're missing our first choice CBs and Ndidi, I still think we should play 4231 as that is the best shape for us overall. 1

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Imagine how easy Vieira's team talk will be for this. "Get stuck in, run more than them, sit tight on the edge of our box". Done. And it'll work a treat. 2

Not having it I'm afraid....Rodgers does that and we lose and ill be calling for his head

Vardy over Nacho as he’s scoring joint top in league + keeps the speed in the front 3. Would also have Timmy over Thomas. Amarty/Soyuncu/Vesterg is a case of turn their pictures over and choose 2 atm until Evans can get back and guide them.

reynard Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Just can't see a positive result without both Evans and Wilf. We're in terrible form, create next to nothing and confidence is waning. If Vestergaard plays we will lose.
The People's Hero Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 We have to bounce back sometime though, don't we? Please?
Marutimon Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 (edited) I would go with: Schmeichel Pereira Soyuncu Amartey Castagne Choudhury Tielemans Albrighton Iheanacho Lookman Vardy But I know it ain't happening. At least two of Peres, Maddison and Barnes will start. Edited 2 October 2021 by Marutimon
