I said something similar regarding the newcastle game but these games, especially with the added derby element are still tough, especially with our "mounting" (get it) injury problems.
Mason mount got injured in the week and kante is still to play a match in over a month. Rudiger still out injured also and jorginho is suspended.
More will come out at the press conference but this is my potential team, and i'm not expecting an easy match with maybe a similar result to newcastle at home.
Having said that one of these days we are going to spank a team, the chances we create and the way we go forward sooner or later we will hit 5 or 6.
-----------Kepa
RJ Zouma Tom Emerson
------Kovacic Kante
-----Willian Cho Puli
-----Tammy/bats/giroud
Dont think mason will be risked, not sure if Tammy will start and even think giroud could have a chance strangely enough...could even be something to do with the international break and the politics with Didier and the French national team. We play giroud = you rest kante.
Not sure on barkleys whereabouts either and could see gilmour given some more minutes.

Is that wanted team TLLL or the team you think will be played?

Zaha been anonymous all season, reckon he wakes up for this as he usually torments us

I doubt it bud, seems his mind is still elsewhere and resents not getting his summer move.
As for the game, given some of the more than decent football that you've played this season i could easily see this being a 4-0 drubbing.
Oh well

TUX would you say he's been poor this year or just not scoring as much? palace, even with hodgson in charge at doing well.
posted on 8/11/19
He's been poor is the general consensus.
Seems to be running at players less and holding it up/passing more tbh.
Saving himself for a Jan move maybe? Though it won't be for anywhere near £80mil

Maybe, but you think he'd like to keep himself in the shop windows with good performances. Does seem like a confidence player too.

"Palace just keep plodding away - Gary Cahill has improved them. Wilfried Zaha likes to turn up in these games. "
Skysport Charlie Nicholas'.
How would you say our old boy Cahill is doing TUX? whenever i see him he looks like giving away a penalty

You won't get any dodgy sending offs to give you a chance like with Ajax.

I see what you're saying but we like Cahill.
He's been a very good signing for us

Anything that doesn't include Alonso is fine by me

Yes its cliched, but every game is a real test this team who are learning and growing................very hard to predict results this season...just look at our home record for inconsistency of results
P9 W3 D3 L3 (all comps)
I think we will win today, but there is no way in hell i would put money on it
