Crystal Palace (A) Pre Match

[the count]

Robertson was in the training pics, so he’s fine

Can wasn't apparently so he probably isn't.

 

[Markeh]

Early kick-offs are the devil and Palace is always a fearsome ground to go to. I don't even think a loss counts as an upset in this context.

I see Palace are around 5/1. We all know that's way too gener

Saw those too, no sign of joemez however Clyne looked fully involved but no way to tell how sharp he looks from a couple of pictures.

Grim, maybe great timing by Clyne then

Klopp confirmed today that Can is out

We might well play three/five at the back tomorrow...

What makes you think that Buddha?

 

[Buddha]

What makes you think that Buddha?

As a way of...

Resting VVD and one of Matip/Lovren (whoever needs it after Intls)
Bedding Clyne back in alongside two other defenders (he's the most likely of our full backs to fit the back 3 system)
Resting Roberston but mitigating Moreno risk by playing as a wingback rather than full back
etc

I'm shooting in the dark a little just am expecting the unexpected today...

 

[Mystic]

Zaha starts, blergh.

 

[Woland]

So we never win at 12.30, we never beat Palace, we're resting players for Weds, and they're 6/1?

*rubbing chin emoji*

 

[doctor_mac]

Strong team for us.

AA---Matip----Virgil---Robertson

Gini---------Hendo------Milner

----------------FAB 3

 

[Hansern]

The early kick off, Benteke/Woy/Sakho and the first game after an international break gives me the jitters.

Fucking hope we turn up for this one.

 

[jimmy]

They have Benteke and Zaha starting.
I hope Mourinho has not talked to Hodgson about that Lukako-Rashford trick that worked so well for MU.
Benteke-Zaha looks worryingly like a potential repeat of that trick.

And they also have Kelly and Sakho at CBs - two players with a point to prove?

Hope we get the 3 points today. This will be a massive boost.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I thought Zaha was injured. I don't know why.

Fucking fucking fuckety.

He & Benteke are almost tailor made to cause us problems on the break or with central balls, both of which have caught us out.
