Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

Recommended Posts

What about playing Upson just behind the strikers? He could win the flick ons and then sweep up from the front? Could sweep it out wide too, we wouldn't be reliant on his lack of pace* so no prob there. He could also instruct the younger lads if we go behind. Oh maybe he could also wear an ear piece like Kev wears so if things aren't going to plan on the pitch he can tell Kev (off the pitch) that things are not going well. Just a thought.

 

*Not sure on this point as I've never seen him play live.

Have to find a way to win this one, by hook or by crook. We've been utter dog muck for two weeks now but arguably we are losing form at the right time. Even playing our best we wouldn't have got many points from the next 5 or so games. Let's just sit tight, take our defeats like men and look forward to going into the last 10 hopefully back in form. We will need to win at least half of them.

The DR Congo play on Wednesday. If they go out, is it possible for Bolasie to go straight into the first 18 for Palace? Hope there's not enough time or that to happen.

Whoever plays three points is pretty much essential. We need to get properly into the group of teams above us and not always playing three or four points adrift. It would also drag them back more into the mix.

Pearson will probably set up so Vardy plays left back and everyone just plays as far out of position as possible. Maybe for the bants he might even put Drinkwater on the pitch somewhere that would be funny

Kramaric

 

Ulloa

 

 

I haven't checked the thread yet but anyone who has put King/Drinkwater as their midfield two or anyone who has put Vardy on the wing is a clown, and anyone who has done both should be given an automatic ban until they've proven they can count to ten.

 

Ideally a left back comes in. Not convinced by De Laet, though I think he's a slightly better option than Konchesky.

 

We will need pace in this game. These are pure pace and power. They're even worse ball retainers than we are and that's saying something.

If we go to hoof it Kramaric ain't winning nothing, Ulloa is more physical plus he is our top scorer.

 

But if you want to agree with your lover boy Loveday instead, then that's your choice. 

 

If we hoof it at all we might as well just take relegation now and not prolong the inevitable. Hoofball is a shit style of football that we're shit at making effective. Why it's even considered I don't know.

We need to win six games from our final 15. In my opinion Palace has to be one of them. Technically not must win but as good as damn it. Don't play JV Nige. It's simply not fair on the lad.

sorry swap Wes with Was - we may be a little susceptible to pace on the right (our right) Hold a high line which is easier with 3 at the back to play offside, especially 3 with experience. Even if fit, You cannot play this formation with Moore as any part of the back 3 as he tracks runs and will play too many attacks onside. Now we have the personnel I am sure 3 at the back will be a consideration. Albrighton and Schlupp will need plenty of Carb gels.

 

Cambiasso or James drop in to make a 4  when Upson or Wes are dragged wide. Ulloa and Krameric must stay close in the middle of the park but if they get dragged wide, Nugent pushes forwards to retain the 2

 

This formation allows for triangular passing combos across the pitch and if disciplined will be very hard to play against and will greatly increase our possession stats

I'd play Upson if he's match fit.

he ain't gonna be premier league match fit though is he???

Why are people all bumming over Upson anyway??

Not you in particular foxy.

You don't have to worry about Bolasie, AFCON has a 3/4 playoff.
