Crystal Palace (A) build up thread

Semedo played half a season at left back for Barca last year. He's more than capable of playing there and lwb if we need him to. I think his individual performances have been improving as the season goes on but we still haven't got the best out of him in attacking moves. I think it's personally the best way to go as i think putting Saiss there is fine but not ideal unless he slots in to a back 3 in possession but that's over complicating things at the moment.

Fairly sure Saiss has played LWB in this system before at some point? Unless my tired Friday brain overstimulated on espresso is failing me.

He has. Played there v Leeds

Yeah played lwb against Leeds and had a worldy disallowed, also played there against Newcastle. He can do a job don't get me wrong but we shouldn't be doing it.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Saiss at LWB is not the option you want to go, but can do a job out there if there's no other option.

Defensively will be OK & will be a presence at set pieces, but not the most progressive move

A bit of analysis from the Chelsea game whilst also looking forward to tomorrow's game

The great reset: Chelsea 0 Wolves 0

It wasn't pretty, but are the foundations are being (re)laid for a strong second half of the season?

This is a wonderful piece of game analysis. I really enjoy reading your comments because your understanding of the game and its tactics is superb.

If it’s wing backs then Semedo has to play there, we can get away with Saiss as a full back but not in a 5.

We have played hime in a 5 (I think) not ideal by any means, but will do a job

 

[Throbber3]

Saiss is awful as a wing back. Leeds? Sooner have him come off the bench if needed.

Will be interesting how Nuno will approach this game, hoping he will focus a bit more on the attacking game..super excited today, hopefully WJ will start at least

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just started snowing here and we're forecast a bucketload between now and midday at least. Hopefully the game still goes ahead.

Home and away are outmoded concepts now

I'm seeing on other platforms some moist underwear posts about what Nuno said in his presser about big problems injury wise.......just flim flam?

 

[Tony Towner]

In addition to RAN “We still have some more problems, but I don’t want to give details because I want to keep it among us, so we can try to take advantage of some kind of surprise, but we have issues that we’ll try to solve with the squad"

 

[Lycan]

I wouldn't be surprised if Podence was injured again. He got kicked quite a lot against Chelsea.

I did think yesterday we might have a surprise omission today...

Got a funny feeling playing Palace and WJ possible full debut might not yield the win we expect

Are we 'expecting' a win? I'm never that confident whoever we're playing
