markjazzbassist Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Well here we go, the first match of a new campaign. The feeling of unbridled optimism and the excitement of new signings. Sadly I will miss it as I will be camping in the woods. But I’m excited to see highlights!! Lol. Palace are a one man team and that is Zaha. If we can negate him and be strong on set pieces I think we can come away with a win or draw (draw more likely). i expect the new players to be on the bench and slowly get blooded in. Delph or Morgan there depending on Fabian’s injury. Pickford Coleman Keane Mina Digne Gomes Schneiderlin/Delph Richarlison Gylfi Bernard DCL I would expect to see cameos from JP and Kean. plaidharper, Btay, Aidan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Can’t wait for the season to start! Will be interesting to see who starts - hoping to see some new faces get a run out and would love for us to bag a few goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Love opening day. As always I’m optimistic everything kicks into place and the goals rain in. You cant underestimate a good start in the league. Last year we nearly did but for bad decisions and not killing games off. The game has 0-0 written all over it. I just want us to be clinical if the chances come our way. With that I’m going to go for 0-1 win. Charley pen markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Ref is Jon moss who is absolutely wank. How he keeps up with play I don’t know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Been thinking. If McCarthy has been training with the first team all week. We would have obviously worked on drills, set pieces etc etc. You not think old Woy will be asking him for the goss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Team as listed by mark above with bench looking like Lossl, Baines, Sidibe, Holgate, Gbamin, Walcott, Kean Iwobi to come in for Walcott eventually or Baines as it’s been mentioned Sidibe can cover both LB/RB. Good options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good options Walcott shouldn’t be near the bench anymore i honestly cannot think of a lineup where I don’t say “ah shit, where do I fit him in?” Finally, I can say I’m really glad I’m not picking the teams because Marco has a huge challenge ahead of him MikeO and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good options I think Baines is injured so I imagine Iwobi will be on the bench to start wth. I'd be amazed if he isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate sent that on the fly as I’m at work! i mean - I can’t wait for Walcott to be out of the squad... I just don’t know if I’d put iwobi straight in. Nonetheless our squad is so much more balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s had a decent one, he’ll replace him straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as his pace is shot I'd get rid, but until then he's still a useful option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I can’t see him being involved but if it’s a choice between him and mirralas? There’s talk of Zaha not being involved tommorow.
