    For what seems like the 10th time in about a month we are up against Palace who are becoming a bit of a bogey team having won the Charity Shield then started the slump with that last minute winner.

    Welcome break from the poor league form and a chance for maybe a few fringe player to really put their name forward.

    Kick off 7:45pm Wednesday

    We'll more than likely go out of the cup.

    Now let's not moan about tactics, we all know how Palace play so how about we prepare the players and make tactical changes to counter the opposing team. Crazy idea I know but I think we should give that a go.

    Don't know, we'll play the "second string" and perform better

    Strongest team possible. Slot has to decide who that is and live or die by it. We can’t keep chopping and changing every game. Get the best back four, best midfield and best forward line in the right positions. No time to be tinkering now.

    and the best midfield is last years - if fit, they must play before our confidence is a pre Klopp levels

    one obvious one is play Gomez as RB or even as one of three CB's to give us a bit more aerial ability .

    whatever he wants to use going forward - although Gomez got turned inside out yesterday so I’d be concerned if he played there…..and we only have 3 CB’s total. If one gets injured, we’ll be on bare bones….not that it’d be much different.

    Either macallister is.fit.or he is not

    Either endo is a player or he is not.

    Marmadashvilli
    Bradley konate vvd Robertson
    Endo macallister
    Chiesa Szoboszlai wirtz
    Ekitike

    If anyone is returning to fitness they can sit on the bench.

    Salah and gakpo stunk the place out this weekend.

    I want to see someone at least putting themselves about.

    No matter who plays or what formation we implement, one thing is for certain... we need to fill that massive hole in midfield!
