Here's my team against Palace........discuss,
Lonners
Thompson, Lees, O'Dea, White
Pugh
Sam/Snoddy Clayton Townsend
Forssell McCormack
Didnt think I'd be saying this a year ago but Becchio has to be relegated to the subs bench, he's looking a shadow of his former self. Nunez has to be dropped as he not good enough to start. I would start with Forssell and Rosso. Forssell looked lively when he came on against the gooners and Rosso should never have been dropped (unless there is more to that than we know about).

Reckon Grayson will stick with the same back 5 and is right to do so given the performance they put in against Arsenal. Personally if Bruce is 100% fit i'd rather him over O'Dea although on the defensive side he did nothing wrong on Monday.
Can also see why you've gone with 2 up top with our top scorer and give Forsell a chance to shine from the start.

Unless we sign anyone that would be my team.

Brown will probably start if we play 4-2-3-1.

If Rodgers is signed in time, I'd like to see him given a chance.

McCormack is a winger or striker, not a central attacking midfielder. He could probably play decent there though, but you are playing a striker behind a centre forward.
It would only work if Becchio was to hold the ball up and the 3 attacking midfielders sprint past him and he lays it off to them, they become the temporary strikers and he joins them to provide support.
He deserves to be dropped though.

Agree with that team, wld love to see Rodgers feature but I cant see the permit being sorted, Forssell has a role to play

I'd love Forsell to have a role to play but whenever he has played he's been awful.
