Tigers: David Stockdale, Ahmed Elmohamady, James Chester, Alex Bruce, Jack Hobbs, Robbie Brady, David Meyler, Stephen Quinn, Robert Koren, George Boyd, Gedo. Subs: Eldin Jakupovic, Abdoulaye Faye, Paul McShane, Ahmed Fathi, Corry Evans, Jay Simpson, Nick Proschwitz. Palace: Speroni; Dikgacoi, Ramage, Delaney, Moxey; Jedinak, Butterfield; Zaha, Phillips, Williams; Murray Subs: Price, Parr, Bolasie, Dobbie, Marrow, Wilbraham, Moritz Why the **** is Bruce there instead of McShane. I'm now convincingly sold on the whole "Bruce shouldn't have signed his son" argument.
Please tell me that's not Aaron Wilbraham on their bench, is it? That's a weird one to start with Phillips at his age.
the one and only Wilbraham, and Palace are going full out attack almost from the start, with bolasie to bring on extra pace late on
FFS! If he scores, after his inept performances for us, i'll kick the cat. Proschwitz and Mclean upfront would make him look good.
Bolasie to come on when we're tired, Dobbie and Moritz also good attacking options to bring on for them. Show's why they're up there - strong squad. Looking at our bench, who could come on and change a game?
It's an attacking team they've fielded there. The defence cannot afford any lack of concentration or we could be in trouble, we'll have to soak up pressure for large periods, but if we can successfully, then we too certainly have a goal in us. Palace 0-1 City - Gedo '85.
Which is why i'm worried about Bruce, he must be a tad tired recently, and macca will want to settle an old score since he was there for a bit, isin't Delaney about 50 now? top top top player for us though
