Team in vs Liverpool

I just don't get what he sees in Castagne over Tete.

That being said, hope Castagne proves me wrong today and puts in a top performance.

Tim's form at the end of last season and start of this,you don't drop a man,because you like someone else.

I don't see the form you speak of. In fact the opposite. 3 goals from the right side of your defense, feels like the fullback would bare some of that responsibility.

I want to be wrong though. Just not seeing the choice.

It's the attacking qualities, he has better movement. To be fair he's looked great going forward, less so defending.

I know that is the theory but for me the supposed offensive attacking quality does not justify the defensive difference.

Its about the best bench we have had for ages as well

Iwobi to be hooked at half time..

You heard it here first.

I assume Sess is injured as he really should be starting. Bobb doesn't deserve to start. As bad as Leno has been our back up is even worse which is why Leno is starting.
Not looking forward to this game at all, but you never know.

Like others I'm puzzled by Sess' absence. Personally I would prefer him starting over Jedi, he carries more goal threat and links well with his winger, Iwobi in thus case.

Bobb is our only first-team out-and-out right winger. So who else should take his place/

And we will say why the hell wasn't Sess on the bench??

[The Cravenette]

Maybe if Sess is not fully fit, he is keeping him for Tuesday?

I don't think Lacomte is that bad. If he's going to drop Leno it will be after the Manure game.

[The Cravenette]

We will see Lacomte on Tuesday. Let's hope he lives up to the hype that he is better than Leno. From what I have seen of him in Cup games he is pretty shaky.

[sunburywhite]

Whatever you think of Leno, if Lecomte was better Silva and AA would have picked him by now

[AnOldBrownie]

Man.  Still with the complaints.

Other than Angel being on the bench instead of Zepa, the only real problem I have is Castagne over Tete.

Palacios isn't starting, S. Charles in the #8 role...I'm excited.

[The Cravenette]

On a separate note, I just heard Henderson not in the Palace squad today. If only he wasn't in their squad last week.......

[Grassy Noel]

I just don't get what he sees in Castagne over Tete.

That being said, hope Castagne proves me wrong today and puts in a top performance.

And I cannot get what he sees in Robinson.

[Oakeshott]

re our new centre back, we need to cut him some slack. Hangeland had a mare of a first game - the rest is history, possibly our best ever in that role.

[Plodder]

I would have chosen the experienced Andersen for this game against such a dangerous attack rather than throwing Affengruber in at the deep end for a debut with other defenders he has never played with, but I hope it works out.  I also would have left out Bobb from the starting XI and perhaps tried Kevin on the right or played Smith-Rowe instead, but maybe Oscar will finally start to deliver.

[AnOldBrownie]

Bobb is always looking for the perfect shot instead of just SHOOTING THE BALL.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Maybe if Sess is not fully fit, he is keeping him for Tuesday?

That can be the only explanation as otherwise he should be at least in todays match day squad.

[Fulham Tup North]

 
Good 1st half...
We have not been blown away and have kept Liverpool quiet for the most part.
Not missing Andersen at all....
Bobb struggling today
.. Josh has been excellent
Big 2nd half coming
