If we have to challenge for the title, Palace game is the type of game we need to grind out a result . would take Palace 0 1 Liverpool now.
yup. any result is cool. this ones an absolute pig of a game for anyone. Nasty snide manager, tight traditional ground, great crowd, absolutely great atmosphere, big donkeys and will be happy with a point if they feel like thats all they can get.
I think we are playing Palace at their low ebb we should take advantage of that. They lost to West Ham at home and Leicester away.
Matip can handle Benteke so that means we win easily. Could be a rerun of the 1989 game..9 - 0 to LFC, but only if Beardsley plays
No they dont. they just need to run direct with 2/3 players and lump it at benteke. Seriously all they really need is pace wide and benteke in the middle. they should be quite effective. this is why we need to make them look like west brom. what i mean by this is everytime they get the ball the only two option they should have is a aimless clearance or a back pass. this requires really high intensity from our team up front.
Tony Pulis tactics is similar to Alan Pardew tactics ( both like to play the big boys). They love to harass and bully top clubs. Palace had no mid week game, we rested most of our first eleven in the league cup game knowing what we are to expect from Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace are going to concentrate on set pieces, and we have to do everything not give stupid fouls away. Corners should also be to the minimum. please log in to view this image
Stop crosses. Stop Benteke. No silly free kicks within lobbing into the box distance. We should score. Unfortunately, so will they probably
Man United are the only team incapable of scoring against us this season. We leak goals. Definitely need 2.

so you are saying snap townsend in half in first 5 mins. ok james milner will get right on that. puncheon is getting his pre match curry spiked so he is on the bog for rest of game.. its not unheard of for him.
dunno... i probably should know cos i prob put it in the OP but i just say his name and thought of the poo joke. why ruin a joke with actual facts?
