We are going to get so fucked over in midfield it’s ridiculous.

I guess Jones thinks we don’t need a midfield when we have the ball,as we just lump it for the centre half’s to clear.

Stu has niggles apparently so being rested.

I hope that's true about Stuart

I wonder if Sunday League Nath’s tactics will amount to more than Lyanco smashing diagonal balls over Che Adams head? Looking at the midfield, I’m guessing not.

It's really amazing to watch the group pile-on - on Twitter even more than here. People, this is our team. If a couple of mistakes had been avoided in last couple games, and this exact same team was picked now, you'd see people going. "yup... reasonable."     The only big worry for me is: what's up with Stu? 

That’s precisely the problem, we haven’t won in the past few games and haven’t learned from our mistakes. Any other team would drop underperforming players or those who continue to make mistakes, but Jones’ arrogance expects miracles, if it’s broke don’t fix it in his eyes. Sooner he gets out the better

[allsa001]

How did I not realise it was a 12:30 kick off. Was having a nice lie in after a night out. Now in a uber with the poor driver doing his best to get there ASAP. Really fancied a couple of beers as well.

[Convict Colony]

If we lose today does he go ?

god knows what that lineup is, 5 in defence which sits back to hit long balls to the 5 attacking players? we have no midfield at all, the manager is clueless

It invites them to attack us. “Come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough. Oh…”

[FarehamSaintJames]

Whenever we play three CB’s, in essence it’s a five at the back. 
It invite the opposing team to attack more and exploit the wing backs, so naturally they sit deeper alongside the midfield and suddenly you have eight/nine players defending the penalty area.

An extra midfielder means the game is competed for in midfield, not outside our 18 yard box.

Is it amazing? He’s making very obvious errors time and again without learning. 
 

Hard to fault the fans outcry after recent performances. 
 

Although in Jone’s defence, it’s so hard to pick a team with the way everyone has been playing. Maybe he has left the midfield empty as a sign to the board. 

They’ve been playing the way that he tells them to.

Red card for Lyanco, found on Zaha and penalty….. 3 nil palace

Done my same bet as last time, Lyanco and Zaha to be booked.

Then those 2 plus Salisu. They got me £400 earlier in the season.

Haha. A just thinking I should have packed some beers for the drive.

 

Likely only going to get the for the second half. What a shambles

Maybe, although could depend on performance.

More likely if we get an absolute humping by Mam City and then lose to Everton.

So who knows what formation this is?

Lyanco at RB? AMN, Aribo and A. Armstrong all selected? No Stu Armstrong in the squad?

Jones doesn’t help himself does he… Guessing we’re concentrating on the league then 😅

My only complaint is the (probable) 3 at the back again, other than that what are the alternatives? 

Stu is likely injured as is ABK and at least he's dropped Elyounoussi. People will moan whatever the lineup is because we have shit players.

[Killers Knee]

I see this as a 4-3-3, probably wishful thinking on my part, but I'll give them a free hit today, result is not important, style of play, form, shots on goal, speed of passing, and passing accuracy are where I'll judge them.

It's obviously true. Anyone watching him the other night would have seen him grimacing and trotting about after he did a short burst and he took a yellow card because he was unable to chase back.

I understand the “he’s damned whoever he picks” situation. 
But it’s clear in the past two weeks that Lyanco, AMN and Aribo aren’t up to it. Would rather we played Payne, Diallo and literally anyone from the streets that can run about a bit. 😅

Unlikely. Ankersen will still like to prove he's far more clever than the rest of us put together.

[Chez]

what's the formation, is it a return to the 4-2-2-2?

If not, I am struggling to understand how a central midfield of JWP, Aribo and Edozie works.

I guess all will become clear shortly.

 

[Toussaint]

I suspect Stu has had a bit to say, I don’t think he’s one to suffer fools and we’ve had our fair share of those. Hopefully he’s not off.

[Saint86]

Any streams for this one? No idea why i want to watch us get ruined again 🤣

It'll change every 15 minutes. I'm sure 4-2-2-2 will be used at some stage as will the Xmas tree, the diamond and any other formation available to man.

[Saint NL]

I don't understand the formation or see a way of winning.

I'm always wrong, so an easy 2-0 to Saints then 👍

[Midfield_General]

If that's a 5 at the back with Joe 'The Workhorse' Aribo at centre mid with JWP, then I actually want to see that, just for the comedy value 🤣

5-2-3 I'd guess? Unless he is putting Lyanco in midfield. Midfield 2 is anyone's guess though.

[HKsaint]

Lyanco will score an own goal to see if he will then be dropped

Today there will be only own goals at the palace end.

[NewYorkSaint]

I'm not seeing any working streams. For once, it's not on live TV in the US... 😆 Anyone have one working?

[harvey]

Any chance of individual links?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I'm hoping for a thumping win, where our direct style surprises a team seemingly a lot more set up for it than we are. Sadly, my magic unicorn is about to whisk me away to see a local game, so I'll miss it.

Thanks!

Adam Blackmore just confirmed Stuart being rested as he's not trained much recently due to a knock.

[AlexLaw76]

Right, here we go....let the comedy commence

Flipping eck, the formation shown has Edozie at right wing back…..

[davefizzy14]

4-2-3-1 today 

Edited 7 January, 2023 by davefizzy14

[AlexLaw76]

Looks like a back 4 to me

[The Kraken]

Yep. AMN lining up in CM, Edozie wide right.

And the long balls begin already.

[coalman]

Palace look rattled. There's not way they could have prepared for this team sheet

[Saint NL]

Actually looking like a football team so far. ...

[egg]

It's a sort of back 4. Lyanco tucking in though.
