Sheaf Saint Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 Given how we don't really have a first 11 any more, and how Puel manages to utilise the whole squad to field a team capable of competing against whoever we are playing, isn't it about time we renamed these build-up threads to the "see who can make the closest guess as to the starting 11 sweepstake" threads?

SuperSAINT Posted 2 December, 2016 Share Posted 2 December, 2016 PARDEW ON INJURIES Connor Wickham suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the 5-4 defeat to Swansea last weekend, to add to the growing list of injuries at Palace...with Pape Souare admitting he is not sure he will play football again. There's more bad news around Steve Mandanda too... "We've got a couple of problems in the squad. Connor's is a massive problem for us. "The injury Pape's had is so unique to football. There aren't many situations where someone in the game has had this. "That makes it tough to put a time on the recovery. He's in great spirits, has a positive personality. We love Pape. "Steve Mandanda's going to have an operation on his knee this week. We think he's out for 6 weeks. His knee locked up in training." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted 2 December, 2016 Share Posted 2 December, 2016 Hennessey I remember having a blinder against us before though.. Hennessey is generally pretty poor, but yes, seemed to have his best ever game against us last(?) season. As I'm fairly local, have made it to a few games, and he's not great, but the real weak point is Martin Kelly at left back who is nowhere near good enough / comfortable on the left. Similar to when we used to play Yoshida at full back (but worse)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 2 December, 2016 Share Posted 2 December, 2016 I don't think he was terrible against Arsenal - he caused them quite a few problems with his pace. Ok, he needs a goal or two but I believe away from home when we probably won't dominate possession he provides a good outlet. Charlie to come off the bench for me as his game is not so suited to away matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 2 December, 2016 Share Posted 2 December, 2016 Palace are notoriously bad at defending set pieces this season so makes sense for JWP to play and someone like Austin or even VVD to head them in. I actually think some of Bertrand's deliveries recently have been just as good, if not better than JWP's. It's good to have a left and right footer to take them from different sides.

We have looked more like 4-3-3 recently so maybe he'll improve. well if you compare Redmond to his actual replacement (Juanmi), then I'd argue hes been an okay buy. I wonder if Puel would have utilised Juanmi unlike Koeman- we never saw him and board clearly felt he was surplus to requirements and not good enough.

St Marco Posted 3 December, 2016 Share Posted 3 December, 2016 Best possible time to play them away. They are shocking. 1 point from their last 21 on offer. 1 win at home all season. Letting in an average of 2 goals a game already! Possibly the worst defence there is right now. Add to that the manager under pressure and the crowd ****ed off. If we score early they will turn on the team and we could go on and score a ton of goals. I think even Jay and jwp could score against that lot! Obviously no games in the pl are gimmees but this one is as close to it as you will get. 0-4 to Saints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
