[Albion] Premier League 19/09 - 21/09

[Lindfield23]

You just know that Palace are going to eke out a result tonight, had a bad feeling when the lineups were announced and Solksjaer somehow found a way to shoehorn the likes of McTominay, James, and Fosu-Mensah (who I'd genuinely assumed had f*cked off to Turkey or some other second-rate league) into the starting XI

I will eat my hat if we keep clean sheets against Leeds and West Brom though.... no easy games anymore.

Do you prefer brown sauce or red with that?


All outcomes are possible, but I wouldn't want to risk my hat on any of them - but it is encouraging to see what sort of defences the promoted teams have this season.

Palace playing it tactically well. We could learn something from this. Gonna be very frustrating if we play utd exactly the same way we have played top teams at home recently.

CP have been doing this since 2013, under several managers, Hodgson simply carried on the same old routine.

A deep, solid defence in numbers, with three players with exceptional pace (which might include one of the FB’s taking turns to maraud) to mug teams on the counter.

They’ve won at Etihad, Anfield, OT, WHL, Emirates and Stamford Bridge. Shirley that’s unique for a club outside those clubs in recent decades?

The downside can be at home where they have to take the game to the opposition.

Dan James gets the hook again. If United sign Sancho could Potter look for a reunion via a loan?

Tinkering.

Should’ve simply played ‘the names’ who chalked up the wins in Feb and March. Possibly with van de Beek.

United are such a strange team, sometimes you watch them and they look outrageous, other times like this they look lacklustre and disinterested*.

*Uninterested.

against the rules

That probably says something about us .

Palace are experts at going away to the 'big' teams and finding a result.

Something to do with a worldly wise and experienced manager maybe.

Man Utd had their best 2 games against us last season - play like Barca v us and Bury every time they play the scum. Twats.

Yep correct - don’t get me wrong, Palace are a horrible, anti football shambles of a side.

My god United are shit, loving Gary Neville wheeling out the ‘week behind’ excuse and saying how they need all these new signings, does he know how much they’ve spent in the past 2 years? Poor old Manchester United

 

[Weststander]

CP could be 5 or 6 up.

Theatre of Dreams, not yet today.

 

[The Wizard]

VAR WTF?

I’m sorry.... but that’s the worst VAR decision I’ve ever seen.

 

[Lindfield23]

Well done Man Utd, you useless overpaid c*nts

 

[Quinney]

How is that a pen?
