Crystal Palace 0:2 Manchester United

Squeaky Bumtime · Jul 16, 2020

This schedule is bonkers. Chelsea played on Tuesday and we're playing 2 days after in 8.15.

Crazy, whoever made it.

why are we always the later game? fecking 8.15 again!

Let us play before Chelsea & Leicester for once ffs!

Our own popularity I think.

Dave Smith · Jul 16, 2020

Lads, it's Palace. Easy 3-0/3-1 score with Utd not needing to get out of second gear. Wouldn't be surprised if the game is done by the 60th minute and Ole can rotate the important players out to save legs.

Palace have been absolutely dire since the restart. Absolutely nothing to worry about in this one.

Even if Greenwood wasn't injured I think I'd prefer James due to his defensive work

This is a joke, please tell me its a joke

What is our confidence level on Greenwood being fit to start? 35%?

Nah, I would have said 34% at best.

But you never know.

Latest team news:

Palace are without the suspended Christian Benteke, as well as injured defensive trio Martin Kelly, Gary Cahill and James Tomkins. Jeffrey Schlupp is also out.

United will probably be without Luke Shaw, who went off injured on Monday night, while his replacement Brandon Williams then suffered a head injury, but has declared himself fit. Phil Jones and Mason Greenwood are also out.

According to my pals at Opta we've won every midweek game since the restart 3-0, we've got this.

Tony247 · Jul 16, 2020

Key question is, do the players still have legs?

Paul_Scholes18 · Jul 16, 2020

Time for Martial and Rashford to shine. 2goals each. 4-0.

Exactly. On top of this Palace have won 3 points from 18 since the restart, have a -9 goal difference and have some of their top players out. Even with Greenwood, Shaw and Williams out this will be a walk in the park.

Is Williams confirmed as being out?

Some cnut stomped on his ankle in the Southampton game. They said he played through it but after the match it swelled up.

Will be a difficult game. We should go out with score more than them mentality. They’ll be rough and we will lose confidence if we believe containing them is a realistic tactic. Let’s go all out attacking

I actually think this help us today, Leicester will surely drop points so we can "relax" and capitalize today.

like it helped us against Southampton?

Is he out? I was expecting the same front 3 and rotation in midfield.

His Ankle is really swollen because of the challenge from Romeu.

Yeah, but it's this kind of games that we tend to feck up ever since Sir Alex retired.

Not heard about any amputations tbf.

And not even a card. Mason was lucky.

Football is combative, I'm fine with that. But I really despise players who intentionally want to hurt other. Especially that kind of tackle.

RashyForPM · Jul 16, 2020

We’ve been playing well. They’ve been playing poorly. However, we know footy doesn’t work like that. Still feel that this game will be comfortable though.

De Gea
AWB Lindelof Maguire Williams
McT Pogba
James Bruno Rashford
Martial

Prediction: 0-4

Williams is self-explanatory due to Shaw’s injury, Matic has to be rested and I prefer James over Mata due to his speed and because I love him (he’s my wallpaper!). Hope the break has done him well. He was my favourite player up to December when Rashford stepped up.

Don't think so. Only heard Greenwood and Shaw. Think Williams should be fine after the knock.
Someone also mentioned Wan Bissaka maybe being a doubt.

christinaa said:

Nope. Not in many fans’ teams though, including myself. Who can blame us? He’s 31 and has played 5 PL games in a row. Scott’s a good enough backup so I’ll take him for tonight.

Have any season ticket holders received a BT Sport pass for the game ? I haven’t had anything some though yet.

It's violent behaviour. If only players could go in to the VAR room, go studs in on the sitting ref and lets see after if he still feels that the decision was justified. It's ridiculous how out of touch these refs are.

Yep as you say accidents happen (like the Gomes ankle break) but Romeo was looking to injure him purely because he’s a threat. That’s pathetic and exactly why we have referees on the pitch. I’m amazed they haven’t done anything about it after the game either?!

SATA · Jul 16, 2020

I would play Matic and then rest him for the semis on Sunday. Can’t trust Fred yet with his rashness and occasional lack of discipline. I also would push Bruno further up just behind Rashford and Martial

Yes. They all have 2 legs each.

How about Mctominay, he's less of a DM than Fred but has been slightly better form since the restart. We should have enough for Palace with either of them playing to be fair.

After how this season has planned out why would you want a player like James against a team likely to sit back and frustrate? Do we ever learn?

Strongest team tonight barring injuries then rotate on Sunday. League position is the priority. Think Greenwood is a doubt so probably James will replace him

Who else would you play RW. Perriera? Lingard Mata? James is the best of a mediocre bunch. That's the situation unfortunately,
