Crystal Palace (A) 3/9: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Wolvensam]

Surprised Fraser is on the bench given he played for the u21s on Friday

Sounds like he did enough against Blackpool to earn a bench place.

 

[Lycan]

If Fraser isn't on the bench we've only got 1 option to replace Cunha/Silva in the front 2

 

[AndyWolves]

I don't have an issue with Fraser being on the bench per se. It's him being on the bench less than 48 hrs after playing, from a welfare perspective.

If he's used at all it'll only be for 10-15 mins tops. Every now again in the league you get games scheduled 48 hrs after the last one. It's not ideal but as Lycan says we need that extra option off the bench.

 

[Lycan]

Ideally Fraser would be getting a loan but we need him as depth now. Big opportunity for him this season really.

 

[Lupo]

Bueno has travelled but not in squad. Doyle has a knock

 

[The Bear]

I wonder if Neto will play left and Sarabia on the right.

Bit strange if they are the other way round.

 

[The Bear]

Jones/Atwell on ref/VAR duties btw.

Yep Neto left Sarabia right.

 

[The Bear]

Villa losing at Anfield already.

 

[The Bear]

Just starting to get hold of that CM area now. We started a bit sluggish in that area.

 

[The Bear]

Decent stuff now. Got some bite and drive going in our play.

 

[Jinky]

Started really bright. Would love a comprehensive win so I don’t have to listen to the sky pundits witter on about how we “struggle for goals” every time they cover us.

 

[The Bear]

Gomes wastes a good position trying to shoot instead of cross.

 

[prawnking]

Nice little run from JG, just went to shit a bit once he got in the box!

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Lemina having a good game, winning everything in midfield at the moment.

 

[Wolvensam]

They’re struggling to keep track of Cunha and get a grip in midfield at the moment

 

[Jinky]

Should be booked for diving - bet they get a penalty.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Oh shit, that's surely a pen

 

[PuntsWolf]

That’s never a fucking pen
