Fab Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Will be interesting to see how serious Tim takes the League cup. Might be worth having the likes of Veretout and Ayew sit this game out and then have them start in midweek in the LC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2015 Will be interesting to see how serious Tim takes the League cup. Might be worth having the likes of Veretout and Ayew sit this game out and then have them start in midweek in the LC. I'm wondering if the relative rough & tumble of a League 2 side mightn't suit the likes of Veretout & Ayew. I'd nearly be more inclined to go with more physical options against Notts County. I wouldn't be surprised to see big Libor sent in to knock 3 shades out of them midweek and Sanchez playing spoiler at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Id keep same team but put in traore for gabby, gil and grealish on bench hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I fear for our defence against Bolasie, Zaha and Puncheon, a lot of our new players will need time to adjust to the BPL and Palace have looked very nippy, I'd take a point and aim for all three against a shocking Sunderland at VP. Seven points from Bournemouth, Palace and Sunderland would be a very good return IMO. Bolassie will have to deal with Amavi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted August 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'd probably go for: ------------------- Guzan ------------------- Bacuna -- Richards -- Clark -- Amavi --------- Westwood -- Gana ---------- Adama ---------- Gil -------- Grealish ------------- Gestede ------------- I still think we need another striker though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Villan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if Hutton starts at Palace. If we have one (or more) creative attacking players to come in, we can afford to sacrifice Bacuna's more attacking style of fullback play for the more defensive solidity we would get from Hutton. No bad thing either given that Palace have some decent players going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Bolassie looks like he'll miss out or make the bench at best and Zaha has been pretty shaky thus far. I think Clark and Micah should be able to deal with Wickham. The good thing here is that all the expectation and pressure is on palace, and we've looked pretty well structured and tight thus far (modulo whatever it is that Micah is doing). First goal is crucial... and FFS Tim drop Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Hoping Traore starts. Although my prime concern is if when Traore gets to some decent crossing/supplying positions do we have a striker who will be on hand to poach? Gabby is awful at this and i'm still unconvinced about Ayew. We saw against United when Amavi did some fantastic work on the left and crossed the ball across the face of the goal but noone had made the move or shown the desire to get on the receiving end. I worry that we do not have a striker with the pure hunger and desire to get into those dangerous positions to take advantage when those opportunities arise. Back to the game and Palace will be favourites and fancy themselves for sure. Keep Bolas, Zaha and luncheon quiet (easier said than done) and we have a better chance of getting something here. Be great to see Gil, Grealish and Traore feature in this. Edited August 18, 2015 by roonst83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2015 One thing Sherwood has done is make my weeks much longer. Now I can't wait for each game to come around as soon as the last one has finished. The working week seems interminably long. Jesus Saturday come on already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Palace played well in short spells against Arsenal, but at times overcommitted players forward and nearly got done on the break. If Wenger had played the Ox and/or Walcott I think Arsenal would have won much more easily. I would go 4-1-4-1 ----------------------- Guzan ------------------------ Hutton -- Richards ------ Clark -- --- Amavi --------------------- Sanchez ------------------------ Adama --- Westwood --- Gueye --- Sinclair --------------------- Gestede ----------------------- Sanchez as extra protection against that impressive attacking midfield, plus if he drops back deeper it allows Richards to focus a bit more on that right hand side if they're getting through Hutton. And if Bolasie plays (and plays well), he'll destroy whichever one of our right backs we play. On the counter we then have pace on the wings and a big man to hold the ball up if we need to. It also allows us a plan B of bringing Gil and/or Grealish on and quickly going with our Chritsmas tree formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Gabby and Sinclair have been much of a muchness, Traore will need a try and Ayew has been a ways off the pace - I think he's best served by taking a couple of weeks out and coming back as a player that's up to speed. Of course, that doesn't mean the manager will see it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
