Pizy 18,976 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Fucking Palace... We know what that means. Wilf God form and probably Andros Townsend scoring his once in every 30 games goal against us. Hopefully the quick turn around and fixture congestion will work in our favor here. Maybe Palace will rotate quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 This fixture... Such a dodgy one for us in the past. Wouldn't surprise me... Hopefully we can build something. Don't faff with chances and don't give them chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We 're back on an even keel, as the objective seems to be a limited one, to finish in the top 4. It's a pain in the neck to be 11 ponts behind the scouser team 11 points and 5 points behind Spurs (!). All these things are self inflicted wounds. Yesterday we played with no forward and it's better that way because both Morata and Giroud don't seem to be up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,511 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 what great time to face this lot 😒, with them beating City at the Ethiad, it will surely lift them up for the upcoming games, so we need to be veryyyyy careful as we know Zaha and co. will try to cook something vs us like always.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hazard Giroud Willian RLC Jorginho Kante Alonso Luiz Rudiger Azpi Kepa That's how I think we'll line up. I think it should be Emerson instead of Alonso, but i think that's his line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know the status of his injury. I've also had the impression that he was 3rd in the pecking order for CF now. If he's healthy and doesn't make the bench, I think we can assume that he's gone.

Vesper 30,250 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Assuming Kovacic is out injured too GK Kepa CB Rudiger CB Luiz LB Emerson RB Azpi DH DMF Jorginho B to B MFKante AMF Barkley LW Willian RW RLC False 9 Hazard or LW Hazard RW RLC CF Morata (if he is fit) I would start him over the cart horse Giroud and thus RLC instead of Barkley at AMF we all know Willian and Alonso will worm their way into any Sarri lineup though this is getting boring and tedious with those 2 trotted out every game the pressure on Eden is immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big strong lad, nippy, got some moves. Tall so good target for Dave. If hes on form he should do it OK Just wonder if his knock he got is OK. Not seen owt said by Sarri tho.
