Viera doing well, I thought he'd struggle and Palace would go down. He's got them playing well, why weren't we in for Gallagher? Miles better than anything we have in midfield
Can’t see us getting a win from this one. Aside from Chelsea and liverpool, Palace are unbeaten this season so far. Albeit they have only won once and drew 5, they will have far too much for us.
I can't be arsed till Bruce has gone, i still want us to win cos we ****ing need to but there's not much excitement with him still here.
Palace are **** and are struggling. Nailed on 3 points for them if Bruce is in charge. No Bruce we get a draw. new manager we win.
So it's Tuesday. Bruce axed and Howe in by Saturday? Could happen I guess. Almiron back and that moron Shelvey out the team. Palace looking more gutsy under Vierra than they did under Hodgson. I'd take an optimistic draw, but we won't get **** playing like we did on Sunday.
We were. He chose them Although supposedly it was the club who wouldn't front the cash if you believe Luke Edwards. Supposedly the player Bruce wanted most aside from Willock. He'd have only not got the best from him. Did @Albert's Chip Shop really just say Palace are struggling? Mate you need to go watch them they've been excellent and value for far more points than they have. They remind me of Brighton last season, should have had loads more points but not converting. They played well last night but I think Vieira maybe got it wrong going too defensive at the end. It was very Pardew esque the way he chose to deal with Arsenal chasing a goal. Palace are playing some lovely stuff, pressing high, and I think Vieira deserves massive credit to have overseen such a massive change in approach.
4-3-3. Dubs/Darlow. Manq - Schar - Fede - Clark Willock (RCM) - Hayden (CDM) - Almiron (LCM) Joe (RAM) - Max (LAM) Wilson
Yep, he's been **** at CB, he's not a good player, but we need to defend at the back first and foremost. So many goals are getting shipped from our confusion between our non-left back and CB's. Clark won't be attacking or moving forward that much, so I'd just have him in to keep it tighter. Assuming Lewis is still awful.
I can’t say whether he’s worth a try. Maybe he is, I wouldn’t complain. He just has attacking tendencies. I’d even consider krafth over Manq, purely to create a defensive unit til Jan.
