Team vs Palace (H)

No trains on Boxing Day ?

Will be very interesting to see how we line up here. Was the lineup vs Liverpool solely borne of covid-necessity and/or countering their fullbacks with a 3 man midfield, or was it a formation Conte will use regularly going forward?

I expect us to revert back to the 3-4-3 as we did in midweek, but feels a little harsh on Winks and Dele after their performances.

No bloody idea what Conte will go for but excited to find out.

The same team that played against Liverpool deserves to start, they did well.

it's nice to have a manager that we mostly trust to pick the right team/formation for any given match. Seems a long time since we weren't criticising every selection, me included.

Yeah I agree with that. I'd like to see Winks start again.

Yeah I agree with that. I'd like to see Winks start again.

Cant believe I'm agreeing lol.

Why? People are really overrating that performance. He had a decent game and bombed the two BIGGEST chances… he did zero against West Ham when he came on but to think he has to start after one half decent performance in 3 years is criminal. He was also playing against Liverpool 3rd choice midfielders…

Yet he offered more in an attacking sense in that one game than peh has all season?

We can't play the double-pivot of skipp and peh if we want to score on a consistent basis.

I would play winks, skipp and dele and stick with 3-5-2.

Has he? He got zero goals and assists in that game and actually bombed the 2 easiest chances. Hojberg has scored a couple…

And offered what else? Skipp and peh are too similar in that pivot.

just Don’t get how some could be thinking Dele offers more than PEH, a quick review of the The past two seasons will clearly indicate who is the passenger with the couldn’t care less attitude and who turns up week after week and gives his all and contributes.

Cases rising at Palace, wasn't it 3 yesterday...? 5 today. What's the limit, and have the PL said clubs should expect to use their reserves/entire first team squad to fulfil matches?

Life comes at you pretty fast. Hearing the game is off now!!!!! ?
