Match Day Thread Crystal Palace v Southampton. 3pm Thereisonlyoneno7’s Birthday

[st_brendy]

Romeu, Davis and JWP all on the bench.

Very few situations I can imagine where 2 of the 3 wouldn't have been sufficient

Very few still implies that at least one situation exists where all three are required to come on. I'm not convinced.

 

[st_brendy]

I know it's not on the same level as no Zaha for Palace, but no Tomkins once again is also something to note (given that Dann too is injured). Martin Kelly is barely a defender, let alone a CB.

Long. Hoedt. Ffs.

 

[SaintinSerbia]

Ings will score more than Salah - he said it not me!

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Fran - it's the same team as against Leicester!

I noticed the Long/Ings partnership, but didn't realise the rest was the same.

At Schipol 16:35 flight to Southampton arrives 16:45. Not the best timing. Looking forward to a celebratory beer after good win. COYR.

Three managers in a row have preferred Long to Gabbi.

Makes you think that maybe, just maybe, Long is the better player after all.

All that matters is finding the back of the net. Gabbi miles more likely....

It’s simple they both lack goals but Shane’s work rate is 100 times better. Therefore it’s not really a tough decision in who you pick. You can reel stats off all day long but that fact is we don’t create the chances Gabbi thrives off so therefore playing him and expecting him to have any influence on a game is borderline insanity. Plus I like Shane’s no ****s given attitude and will happily bust his bollocks for you .

In 10 years time, we'll all only remember one Shane Long goal

We'll remember three Gabbiadini goals

yeh but, the US voted for Trump, the UK voted for Brexit and Lawro thinks we're gonna lose!

You've forgotten the 40 yarder against Villa?

I bet you wouldn't have if it was Gabbi that scored it.

The 40 yarder v Villa will forever be remembered as 'something that happened in the Mane hattrick game'

Shane is a team player, that's why he gets selected, but I would like to see Gabbi after a good run of games starting up front in a two, my guess is that he would accumulate a few goals.

Puel never preferred Long, Gabbi got injured after his initial scoring run here.

 

[San Tejón]

Benteke v Cedric back post in the second minute.
Who would have guessed that?

 

[San Tejón]

Those yellow shirts are looking mighty fine.

Great to hear the "yellows" chant again too...

Year of the redmond. Hoping if I keep saying it something will happen.
