I would like to see a 4411 for this. For me, having 5 at the back actually leaves us more exposed down the flanks, it leaves the full back exposed because there is only 3 in midfield, so he has no-one paired up with him to defend the overlap. When we play 4411 or 442 it means the full back can pair up with the wide midfielder in front of him, and work intelligently as a pair to defend the flanks better. I’d like to see Gaucho MacSporran start at 10 behind Maupay. I’d like a midfield of Alzate, Stephens, Propper, March - this provides steel, energy, and awareness of this fixture. And a back four of Montoya, Webster, Dunk and Bernardo. Zeek is not likely to tie Jacques Cousteau down enough, and it’s not the right fixture to blood Lamppost. Trousers is too lightweight for this battle. Duffy and Burn, would be happy for either to start, just prefer the fleet of foot of Webster and Bernardo. Murray may figure later on, and whilst his stamina has looked good this season, his mobility and pace over 15 yards really has completely gone now. Mooy looks exhausted. And Gross doesn’t offer the X factor that Falklands MacBagpipes does at 10. So 4411 for me.

He normally waves his wand and picks a player, team or system that nobody can guess including the Old Boy at Palace.

What will his stand out decision be tomorrow?

I’m going with Izquierdo in the squad!

I'm not sure Izquierdo play again. I hope I'm wrong though!

Really hope he plays MacAllister, Roy will look at the teamsheet, worried about our Argentinian wunderkid at no 10, and think wow he's not playing there's some Scottish bloke i've never heard of playing instead.

Most interesting one will be who is up against Zaha.
Hoping with Lamptey`s pace it will be huis chance to shine.
We all know Schelotto couldn`t deal with him.

It'll be Lamptey on Mr Tumble. I'm not sure Potter will go with three at the back when Palace are weak up front and strong down at least one flank, possibly both if Townsend plays. Definitely not Schelotto at right back in any event, solidity in midfield and plenty of pace upfront to turn Cahill and whichever donkey they put alongside him. Hence...
Ryan
Lamptey Webster Dunk Burn
Pröpper Stephens Mooy
Jahanbakhsh Connolly Maupay

McAllister to debut from the bench if we're level after an hour, Murray on late if we're holding on and it all gets a bit aerial.

I would guess Bissouma who contained him really well at their place and only when he went off did Zaha start to shine

We must start him .Sticking my neck out i would say he is better then any of our midfielders and when is he going to be ready ?. He has been picked for Argentina who have produced some of the best players in the world .He takes really good set pieces scores from long range ,passing very good its not really a gamble none of our other midfielders apart from Mooy are scoring goals or nearly scoring.

I am going with this similar system we used away. Inclusion of Mac Allister would give place a lift as well if Potter feels he is ready to start

Kayal & Crofts are playing U23 today so will surely miss out tomorrow (cue knowing smile and nod of approval from someone special up above!).
