Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - 1984 video, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Jeff Jones]

We won’t be playing him if his parent team want to, with our agreement, terminate his loan and sell him this week.

OK, but we don't use him much, anyway.

 

[Jimishorts]

What are we fans for, then

Sunk cost fallacy?

 

[Mr PEN86]

Think we need a boost. Great win there earlier in the season so I think they'll be up for this. Dyche can't do any silly experiments here. Back to 4 at the back. If Doucs isn't ready I wouldn't risk him. Actually think we should try getting McTominay (I know it sounds mad) but he does a similar role for United when played in that position and can score goals. One year left on his contact in the Summer. Not the glossy signing we may want but it's the affordable option we may need.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Dyche will likely go near full-strength for this - but personally this is the XI I'd like to see starting:

Virginia

Patterson - Keane - Tarkowski - Godfrey

Onana ------- Gomes

Dobbin ----- McNeil ---- Danjuma

Beto​

I'd give Coleman about 25-30 minutes of the second half. Pickford, Branthwaite, Myko, Garner, Harrison & DCL to be rested if at all possible (no more than 15 minutes).

We absolutely cannot afford another injury to a key player here.

I don't mind this. Really want to see Chermiti get some proper minutes though

Nothing mad about that signing if it came off.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Why don't you think about the team that's just been overrun by Wolverhampton Wanderers having to play 2 semifinals against the rs instead, that should give you some perspective.

That perspective won’t erase the memory of Onana’s penalty, it’s alongside that Pickford error at Anfield in the last seconds of the game.

Ahh the glory days of having first choice on man utd cast offs, we can only dream.

Or the Keane blunders.

 

[Bluewater]

I think we need to give a lot of the squad an outing at Palace.

Virginia

Patterson Keane Godfrey Coleman

Onana Gomes

Dobbins McNeill/Harrison Danjuma

Beto

 

[Cameron Manning]

Or the Keane blunders.

They are all scenes that have become nightmares!

GK - Pickford

CB - Branthwaite
LB - Mykolenko
RW - Dobbin

[oglop44]

Pickford
Coleman Tarkowski Branthwaite Mykolenko
Garner Onana
Dobbin Gomes Danjuma
Beto

I'd love to rest Tarkowski but don't trust Keane or Godfrey at all.

 

[RomanReigns]

anyone with a minor knock should be rested and not risked otherwise go as full strength as possible

I'm in the main stand incognito. Always feel slightly like a spy in these circumstances.
