Albrighton has to start. Not sure why he hasn't featured yet

Yes because that’s going to make the difference😂 give me strength

It appears that Captain Jonny isn't showing much leadership so perhaps it is time for the vice-captain to have a go. 

[Corky]

They look all over the place at the back. Hopefully we'll control the game and create a couple of half chances to test them.

4-1 loss...Rodgers won't be sacked though

Score first. 

Half time. 

Vieira makes necessary changes.

Palace score. 

Palace score again. 

Rodgers leaves it too late to change things. 

Rodgers changes things, makes wrong subs.

Palace score again to seal the game. 

 

[Tielemans63]

Another team getting away from us after winning today.

 

We're absolutely sleepwalking to the championship. It's infuriating.

Yes indeed Top is the most culpable his inaction in not sacking Brendan, will see us relegated.

Soumare tracking Eze/Olise/Zaha will be interesting

Who really even cares about football anymore.

 

That's how I'm feeling.

 

Till he goes no point watching, just gonna be the same shit.

I’ve not been interested in anything unless it involves or directly influences the city for quite a few years now. I think I’ve bottomed out this season. 

 

I’ve just switched over from the NFL to the Arsenal Liverpool game because a) it’s half time and b) having Darren Fletcher doing ITV’s in house commentary is killing it! 
 

BTW How is there an NFL game at Spurs and an Arsenal home game being allowed at the same time ? 

[Deeg67]

I’m fully expecting Amartey to start at RB, as Brendo will feel that Castagne is too risky against Zaha.

[Ely fox]

Big Dan first name on the team sheet against Palace, for his “prescence”

[Lcfc-1992]

Stop with the Maddison,Tielemans and Castagne rotating positions. It leaves players out of position when we lose possession. 
 

Drop one of Tielemans or KDH and go for 4231 with Maddison at 10 and Perez on the right

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Hopefully they stick the Anstey match on in the concourse, so we can see some decent football.

Why Top? Whelan and Rudkin have eyes. It's their job to tell Top we need to change. It's Top's money but it's THEIR job.

@themightyfinhas alluded that Whelan and Rudkin want Rodgers out. But the only one reluctant to make the change seems to be Top imo.

[Claudio Fannieri]

@themightyfin also alluded to the fact the only reason Rodgers was still here may now be no longer so I am holding out hope we get good news in the next 24 hours and he is gone, but we have been here before so who knows. 
 

I am hoping Percy et al drop a breaking story at 10pm tonight that he is done for.

I'm fully expecting Daniel Calamartey to be the Zaha's prime target whenever he is on the pitch.

I remember we played Palace at a lunchtime kick off under Puel and got thrashed 0-3 (think it was days after we beat Southampton 4-1 at their place - talk about a reality check!).

 

I expect the same sort of result by the way, Zaha and Eze will tie our defence in knots.

Palace finished off Puel for us.

 

Same again?

Last time I missed a home game for a holiday was 2017 - WBA home and we sacked Shakey afterwards. Next one I miss is Leeds. It's coming, it's inevitable.

And Olise. Every club has the advantage over us if they have any ounce of creativity and organisation and belief about them. They have that in abundance with the wingers they have. That's their main threat. Due to our manager, we won't have the nous to overcome it and will probably play narrow. Full backs will be majorly exposed.
