Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

Recommended Posts

Posted

Pearson Joking on the Pre-Palace press conference  about he could pick 3 at the back when Huth is back from suspension, could see a 3-5-3 style formation being played in the latter stages of the season..

 

At various stages Hull, QPR & Man Utd have proved it is fraught with difficulties, even with a summer to iron it out, nevermind changing philosophy 3/4 of the way through

 

Although they've maybe been going wrong by playing a goalkeeper instead of a forward in a never seen before 353 formation

Bit off topic but looked at the Palace forum and apparently they're going to start a compulsory £100 food and drink levy in a part of their ground to spend over the season - fans are not happy!

You don't know that he won't improve Nugents role, the Croation fans said his best position is the number 10 role. It's very hard to judge from a few minutes against some decent teams.... he could be shit or brilliant.

As a Rijeka fan I'd have to say he's not a no.10, he just likes to play deep (and wide) so he can link up and position himself, a shadow stiker. I didn't manage to watch every minute, but what I did see is a lack of comunication, Kram passing the ball and running into the area only to see the player who got the ball pass it the other way, or his through balls not expected by teammates.

 

I don't think you should play him in the starting 11 when going for a draw, Ullua is more usefull in that regard and you really shouldn't be playing with two attackers against the top few teams.

 

On the other hand he did get clearly fouled in the box twice already, the refs' incompetence is the only reason he doesn't have two in the bag already.

Nice! No Bolasie or Jedinak, two key players for them.

Saying that, I remember Burnley rocking up with about 5 of their key players missing.

 

lol and everyone on here saying it was a guaranteed home win

I was all over it, think I banged 25 on a Leicester/Swansea double that day. Think both ended up drawing 2-2, Swansea against a completely off form Newcastle team. I also watched Coalville get hammered 5-0. That was a rubbish day.

tbf we were comfortably better than burnley in the championship, we then signed better players than them (ulloa, cambiasso), then started the season as if we were the best team in the league, then burnley turned up with some of their under 6s and women's team on the bench having not scored since the 20th minute of the season and just been battered 4-0 by west brom, and it could've been 14. it would've taken an incredible doom and gloomer to think it would be anything other than a home win. 

 

this is a bit different.

Have we ever beaten an Alan Pardew managed side? My gut instinct is we have an appalling record against his teams?

We did the double over Saints when they got promoted.

Did the double over Reading in 2002/2003.

Anybody hear about this Keshi Anderson lad? Reportedly in the squad for Palace, signed on deadline day from Barton Rovers for £30,000.

 

Scored a hat-trick in 6 minutes against Palace reserves. Interesting.

Barton Rovers? I'm not too worried:

We (Coalville) smashed them 4-0 in the FA Trophy a few years back. He was signed because he was up against Paddy McCarthy and made him look a bit average. Fair play, good to see clubs giving non league players a chance. Seems to be a thing clubs are doing more frequently these days.

 

Plenty of rough diamonds at that level.

Can see this being another dour, frustrating day a la West Brom, Stoke. 0-2. Very happy to eat humble pie with extra custard if proven wrong.

Everything is going to go in our favour. Speroni injured in the warm up. Gayle fires over from inside the six yard box within 5 minutes. Ref gives us a ludicrous penalty. Leo knocks it away. Riyadh sweeps past three defenders before teeing up Krama before half time. Palace huff and puff in the second half, but a breakway leaves Esteban with the simplest of tap ins. Talk turns to a top half finish.
