he set up werner who blazed high and wide in the last game from pressing and nicking the ball....its one of his strengths, give him that ffs!

I wouldn't bet on Werner to score anytime this year at 22/1
I put the bet on as I thought it said 220/1.I wouldn't bet on Werner to score anytime this year at 22/1
And also, we don't need forwards to press, we need them to score goals.
Which Richarlison also did in our very last game
*albeit not from open play
I can take Richarlison as an option or even a started, but a front three of him, Solanke and Johnson is tottaly unbalanced and uninspiring. He created a good chance for Werner in our last game too.Which Richarlison also did in our very last game
*albeit not from open play
Fair enough but you must see the funny side of one poster declaring with absolute conviction that Richarlison has never caused a turnover by pressing when he did that exact thing literally in our last game - then another (you) stating that we don't even need pressing but goals - another thing Richy literally did in his last game
Spurs fans. Gotta love us
Fine with that.
Only other Q is who are the 2 with Kulu out of Maddison Bentancur Sarr and Bissouma.
Vic
Porro Romero VDV Udogie
Kulu TBC TBC
Johnson Solanke Odonert
Personally I go with Sarr and Bentancur but that’s just me!
Last 4 PL games where we have put our best 11 out on the pitch we have scored 3-3-2-4
5-1 to us.
5-1 to us.
I read elsewhere he had been out with injury- so prob some sub minutes for Udogie if he’s fit enough to make the bench.
I think it's very likely that Maddison and Kulusevski both start. Madders off / Sarr on vs West Ham was specific to that match and I don't think it signals an end to the "two 10's" all-out attack that worked so well against United.
Palace play with a fairly intensive mid-height press; breaking through that will be the key to winning the game. Bissouma over Bentancur for that reason IMO. So a midfield of Kulu - Biss - Maddison for mine.
I thought he would start based on Udogie playing Europa. Makes sense if injured but I guess chance of Davies or Gray too
No chance Bentacur starts over Bissouma. Alongside him? Possibly but unlikely imo
Bissouma, Kulu and either Sarr, Maddison or potentially Bentacur
What everyone seems to be forgetting, is the EFL cup game 3 days later.
If we beat City, then it's quarterfinals, so we want to field our best starting eleven for the City game.
We've also got a shit load of important games coming up with short turnarounds, so there has to be rotations.
Vicario
Porro, Romero, Radu, Ven
Kulu, Bissouma, Maddison
Johnson, Solanke, Odobert
Palace has scored only 5 goals, so if we're up by 2 at half time then bring on some changes.
