Crystal Palace 2-3 Chelsea PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS 2019/20 Premier League Match 34 7th July, Tuesday 2020 Selhurst Park 18:00 Kick Off (UK time)

As someone said, Pulisic is Hazard but just without the big arse. Yeah. He switched to the RW for 10-15 minutes in the second half and he certainly didn't look effective there. Pulisic has mentioned he prefers/likes to play on the LW and in the No.10 position. And speaking of Lampard deserving credit, he also influenced me to play Pulisic on the LW instead of RW in Football Manager and it has worked wonders. Becomes a goal and assist machine as an Inside Forward.

Kante has played every game since the restart and has now gotten a muscle injury. Someone better wrap Pulisic in a cotton wool!

Convincing response from Lampard...

Another muscle injury...

Shady business, I tell you. Shady business...

The pandemic has really screwed Lazio.

But Watford were happy to stand off him (and our 2 CBs) and let him have the ball, which is somewhat telling.

Hodgson and Palace can basically mess things up in the Top 4 race. They also play Spurs in their final game, I think, but not that it will matter.

Don't think I said Giroud shouldn't play every game? 😬 He's obviously not gonna be able to play every game. Don't think he has the stamina and fitness to do so.

Oh lovely, the comparison has even started in the media...

Fabregas on the first goal today...

Sorry but what were we talking about? I don't remember.

Honestly, I don't trust any of our CB pairings at the moment. It's almost a case of choosing the right one specifically for the game. Zouma-Christensen, statistically, is the worst pairing, I think.

He's been injured. Not fit yet.

We'll see because we all know Hodgson is gonna park the double-decker bus.

Playing Kante in the DM role again against Palace would be worse!

Given the shady business that goes on in football sometimes, I won't rule out the ban being overturned completely until we know for sure. Until then, we just need to make sure we don't fuck any of our next 3 games (HA!) before the Liverpool and Wolves games!

Niko Kovac gave Dortmund a big headstart this season and last but Dortmund bottled it on both occasions. They don't deserve it.

Err, nothing at all? Still rusty I guess and we were playing in like 3rd gear in the second half anyway.

IF City's ban sticks, then this 5-point gap over Wolves in 6th could be very important. They go to Sheffield United in midweek, which won't be easy but not that we will make life easy for ourselves either...
