Hopefully we get some positive news about the fitness of Eriksen and Mason tomorrow. Useless discussing lineups until we know more.

looking at the head to head the pattrern is clear. draw loss win win draw loss............so we will beat them tomorrow and when we play them at theirs. simples!

 

[tommo84]

I feel quite confident ahead of this but I can only presume that's because it's Friday and I'm in a good mood, as I think Palace are a bit of a bogey side for us.

Logic says that if neither Mason nor Dembele are fit then we'll be in trouble in midfield. Tom Carroll doesn't fill me with confidence and he did little to change that against Qarabag.

In the rest of the line-up we've got good options though and with Eriksen likely to be involved, and the team should feel less pressure having won last week.

Isnt the press conference today?

I think palace look a good team he has done a good job whether people like pardew or not.
Because right now i feel they are better balanced plus they look quicker than us this will be a tough game, so i reckon another draw is on the cards.
This is quite a tough set of games coming up for us will be a big test of our character and squad depth, just hope we can make it to new year without injuries to kane or anymore midfielders and get some others in.

Poch says moussa and nabil out. Eriksen and mason to be assessed leading up to game, so good sign that if not this weekend, then very soon after, grateful neither are out for extended period. Expect Carroll and Alli to start

1.30 Sunday Kick-offs after a Thursday night game should be banned, gives us only three days to get the player's body clocks adjusted to perform optimally at that time, while Palace have had all week.

At least the 'A' class tool that is Alan Pardew has given us our teamtalk.

He is telling the truth though because we will finish top ten no question, but it does seem that he is being a bit naughty.

Fucks sake Poch I can't believe that line up. Why isn't (Insert players name here) in the team? How the fuck is (Insert players name here) playing? Same old clueless bilge. We're gonna get thrashed with (Insert players name here) in the team. How he plays (Insert players name here) in (Insert postion here) is beyond me.

 

[TropicalYid]

Pardews arrogance and high confidence is starting to annoy me. Looking forward to teach them a lesson today.

This will be a very tough game - Palace are playing superbly at the moment and have a very quick team. Our defense will need to be on top form but if we play well we should get a good result as man for man we have the better team.

I think this match will tell us a lot. Palace are one of several of the teams who finished below us last season who currently look rather better than us( add Swansea, Everton, Leicester, West Ham, ) and I wouldn't particularly fancy our chances against a few others at the moment.( eg how confident would you really be against Bournemouth or Watford?). Having said that, I cling to the hope that maybe Poch is a progresive manager and he will start to show some semblance of a real 'philosophy' that we can actually see on the pitch , hopefully with Son and Njie proving to be really good buys and Alli becoming our next 'gem'. I still feel, however, that we are painfully short up front and it is going to cost us. I found out today that Son and Njie are classified as ' strikers' in the telegraph Fantasy league so even they have fallen for the club's 'spin'.
A defeat would be a real blow. I was dismayed to see West Ham win at City, not just because they won( and that they look worryingly better equipped than us) but because City are at WHL next week and what are the chances of them losing again?
I'm just hoping that our last 2 games will give us the confidence to put in a rare good home performance aganst a team that looks the very sort that come to WHL and hit us with rapid counter attacks, as we create nothing with about 65% possession.
A good win could be a real turning point, a poor defeat, however, could spell an extremely difficullt season ahead.

Thanks I don't need to read any more of this thread. I can just keep reading this post 500 times.

 

[woodward]

we have lost one game, several influntial players are injured and Kane is out of form, judging by some of the comments on here a team that finished 5th last year is a candidate for relegation. Lets wait a while before we raise the white flag.

Pochettino is fucking clueless. Why didn't he sub (Insert players name here) at half time? Same old Poch making the same useless substitutions. Pochettino doesn't have a plan B, he always brings on (Insert players name here) instead of (Insert players name here) and it's a fucking joke. I can't fucking belive we are playing with inverted wingers, (Insert players name here) isn't suited on the left (Insert players name here) should play there!

I hate Alan Pardew.

Agree, he is a massive nob rocket, still though, as a manager (as much as I loath to write it) he is actually pretty decent and has done a good job at CP.
