Bailey Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Its quite an attacking line-up from Palace with Benteke, Ayew, Zaha and Eze all starting so they on paper look like they are coming to have a go at us. They are very weak in midfield as a result and with both our wing backs getting forward and James and Richarlison finding space between the lines we should be able to overload them time and time again. As long as we play with a bit of pace and urgency in our passing, we should be able to dominate the game and pick them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, it’ll be 5 at the back for us and we won’t attack much and let Palace be the attacking force in the game, while we hope and pray not to concede and somehow drag ourselves up the pitch to give ourselves a chance to grab a goal before retreating again to hope and pray we don’t concede.

c1982 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I’d imagine Holgate will be asked to play the role he did in the Derby so well with Zaha being his Man(e) this time - arguably his finest game in an EFC shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he can return back to that form again. When Dunc was caretaker manager he stuck him in the midfield, and if you go to the Holgate thread page 9 it paid off most were very complimentary on how he played he got motm it was like he found his best position, like you I hope this will help him find form again.

Bailey Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 IMO you play Holgate in midfield out of desperation rather than out of choice, like Ferguson did. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaids Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Strange midfield line up - where's Allan. Hopefully Holgate can find a bit of form in there again - he's done so before. James back. And Gbamin on the bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Shit ball from Gomes had no reason to play that then with an open pitch to goal in front of him, he should have drove into the area and then squared it if necessary. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
