Would like to see Kulu rested (for Johnson) he's starting to look a bit one dimensional, and would also like to see the Veliz lad start as a CF and see what he's made of.

This is the PL.

Kulusevski won't be rested
/dropped for Johnson. More likely Richarlison.

Veliz is being given game time, partly out of necessity. If he is good enough his time will come.

We need to win games and not take our foot off the pedal.

Johnson will be chomping at the bit, as will Bissouma, who must start.

I think the only change will be Biss for PEH. Johnson never done anywhere near enough last night to merit starting on Friday.

From up my way Purley. I don’t live too far. All the best to you mate and sorry to hear about your wife ❤️

As for the game, what an opportunity to go 5 points clear and ramp the pressure up on the others. No Eze or Olise is massive for us. A real chance to grab the 3 points.

But the whole fluency of the team is different mate. He has to play. He’s integral to it all

he's definitely one of our best players, but he is also inclined to pick up cards, and I'd rather have him on the pitch against the chavs than Palace

No - matter, Ange has set his stall out, he plays his best team every time

Not sure how long his patience with Richie will last though, unless a LHS attacking mid is where he sees him.

Is it worth sticking with PEH for this one so that Bissouma is definitley available for Chelsea in a fortnight?

I thought PEH had a decent game last night and can do a job vs. Palace but Chelsea we will need to dominate the MF and bring Biss back in, it's Chelsea's cup final after all, they won't give us the same reach around they gave the gooners.

Play both imo and bring on Sarr for Biss with 20min to go..

Last night was the first time I saw Ange annoyed with Richy when he tried to control the ball with his back to be clever and gave it away needlessly and his shot he blazed over in the second half.
 
would start the same midfield 3 that started yesterday and then start Bissouma vs Chavski who have 3 runners in their midfield which makes Bissouma vital in that game.

100% Agree, I know its 1 game at a time and all but Hjojberg was good yesterday and we only looked shit in the middle when Skippy replaced SARR, if SARR is fit then the same midfield as yesterday please!
 
I think Biss is carrying a little knock. It might be prudent to rest him to he's 100% for Chelsea rather than risk him aggravating his injury or being suspended for it.

fuck that. Biss has to manage his way through the game to avoid a booking if he wants to play against Chelsea. Too many of his bookings have been needless so that’s something that I’m sure he’ll improve on. Friday night is our biggest game of the season. We need to treat it like that.

I'd start Biss against Palace tbh, and if we get a 2 goal lead, take him off. Palace are shit but love a surprise win against a big team.
