***Palace v City Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Friday night football it is then

We saw last week how we are going to play and it isn’t that different a template to what we saw under Pep

Any old win will do for this one for me

1-0 Haaland

[salford city]

Read from Enzo that the players 'nearly' understand how he wants us to play. Not inspired by that. Hoping the transfer talk about outgoing transfers disrupts Palace. Difficult place to go but we should be able to call on Guehi as a cb to steady us.

In fairness, Pep used to say it took a season for players to understand how he wanted us to play.

Guehi again in the middle

[CTID Hants]

Tonight’s team to face Crystal Palace! ​​

XI | Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias (C), Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Anderson, Guéhi, Foden, Cherki, Semenyo, Haaland

SUBS | Rulli, Kovačić, Aït-Nouri, Reis, Echeverri, Bouaddi, McAidoo, Braithwaite

[john@staustell]

Cherki for Rico is an excellent swap

[PeterParker]

Three days before the transfer window ends and that is our bench, btw.

COME ON CITY

[salford city]

Still keen on Dias as both captain and cb it would seem. Wonder how much Guehi at DM is allowing that. No Nunes at all hadn't seen he was injured.
Surely we see Bou at some stage tonight and maybe the lesser spotted Claudio.
Maybe bring Wharton back on the bus.

O, I reckon it's back 4 of Khus, Guehi, Dias, Gvardial. Nico in midfield

Very Kindergartenesque

You never know, in a few years time, we could be looking at legends in the making.

[Dubciteh]

I think Guehi does play in midfield but im praying it is O Reilly. We got away with it last week.

No Grealish on the bench must mean hes off

I'd expect the first 7 to be able to play and I don't know much about Braithwaite

Should be enough to beat this Palace side

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!

[CTID Hants]

They're targeting Dias already

They're targeting Dias already

Done their homework, obviously...
