That's not a bad starting 11 Olly, considering the injuries we have. They aren't just fringe players either. Any of those you've listed would fit straight in when required to, if fit.

A bit worrying now. do you think players are told to hold back a bit, being worried about joining that list ?

Think Palace will be a tougher task than Blades, but they will play a bit more open, so we should be able to outscore them if nothing else

If it was a European game last night then the new rules would have meant we couldn't have had the 1230 KO but of course TNT find a way around that so we end up in the slot anyway.

Remember palace are in the small position

Squad is riddled with injuries for them and they have been in bad form at home and must be shattered

We got a real good chance 

Eze may be out. Doucure is out for the season. They have other guys in and out. They played a CB in their MF the other day.

Need Mo to hurry up and score number 200. He's forcing things since he's been one off.

I'd like to see Endo keep his place. Get up by a few goals and then hook Szobo and TAA, but that only depends on how quickly we deal with the game.

Diaz out for me, get Gakpo in.

Diaz out for me, get Gakpo in.

Yeh possibly Elliott also . Think Diaz off the bench for me

Deffo need a win now. Other results gone well for us tonight to take a bit of pressure off. Let’s not waste the opportunity to take advantage 👍

Could be top by christmas. And the team at the top then statistically have a great chance of winning.  Want 3 points not bothered how they come!

Any win would do, and no injuries.

1230 kick off, away fixture, struggling manager, a team riddled with injuries.. the high odds in our favour worries me despite our good record there.

Ali back in training but a decision to be made, very unlikely mecca will be available

Just win win win. Mo and nunez to score and assist each other. My FF team needs it. L o l

Any win will do against Palace tomorrow, I have gone for 2  1 in the Prediction league. It would also be nice to see Mo reach his target, as well as another three points for Lfc.

Ali back in training but a decision to be made, very unlikely mecca will be available

No doubt for me. If he's been fully cleared by the medical team and has trained this week he plays. Would be pretty bizarre to put him on the bench. Tough game and a big boost to have the best in the business out there.

Ali back in training but a decision to be made, very unlikely mecca will be available

Brilliant. Any other player and I wouldn’t be sure but wouldn’t be surprised if he goes straight back in.

Picking this assuming the usual with konate not able to back up.

Alisson
Trent
Gomez
Virg
Tsimikas

Endo
Dom
Grav

Salah
Nunez
Diaz

Kings of the 12.30 kick off us!

Won’t risk Ali, too early yet, Palace away with their gobs***e fans never easy, but I don’t see them as any kind of threat, don’t matter who is out or in for them, we’re far superior both in quality & talent, feel for Joel, think in truth he’s done now for us, but while one door closes another opens and young Jarell has proven he’s more than capable of filling the void,

Be very tempted to using Trent as DM, with Szlobo & Grav in midfield, with Gakpo, Nunez & Mo up top, the back five of Kelleher, Gomez,Konate,Virgil, & Kostas, if Konate don’t make it I’d bring in Connor Bradley at rwb and shift Joe along the line, or hold him at rb, and slot young Quansah in along Virgil,


                                               Kelleher
                                 Gomez  Konate  Virgil Kostas
                                              Trent A A
                                  Gravenberch      Szloboslai
                                  Salah       Gakpo     Nunez


Bench; Adrian, Bradley, Quansah, Diaz, Elliot, Jones, Chambers, Macca, Doak, Emlyn


Like every other game, we can’t afford to drop points, we’re above the cheating Kunts and long May that continue, only two behind the Bottlers who we face in a week or two, so it’s imperative we keep the pressure on Arteta and witness him spontaneously combust on the touch line when we F**k them up at Anfield,

What the F**k has happened to Spuds, seems the Ange/Levy honeymoon is well and truly over, Re- their CL league winning level celebrations when we gifted them a own goal Vs 9 men, now it’s all looking a bit shitty in their garden, that f***in single point is threatening to haunted us all season long, unless of course we catch, surpass & open up a gap ourselves in the coming weeks,
Villa are the dark horses, as I mentioned they would be back in August, Unai has found his ideal size club, and he’s reaping the rewards, they are a serious contenders and it wouldn’t surprise me if they too are in the mix at the bun fight, although maybe a bridge too far this season,


We just need to keep going, performance wise it’s not been the best, however we keep collecting those points and that’s all that matters at this juncture,  at this point of the season it’s hard to imagine us not being in the top 4 at least come May, and I keep saying it, I think we can go all the f***in way, get this busy Xmas period over with, with minimal damage and we’ll be in for a hell of a ride !!!



1-3 Mighty Redmen



YNWA

Need more of a contribution from Mo tomorrow, IMO he hasn't shown anywhere near enough of his qualities for about a month or so.

Could be a similar game to the Sheff U game. Need to press from the off. Boss might go:

Kelly..Trent..Konate..VV D..Joe...Endo..Szobo..Ma cca*...Mo..Nunez..Cody.

* Jones if Macca is not fit.

1-2.

Just never know with Ibou or VVD and 3 games in a week.wouldnt surprise me if Quansah starts . Ali would imagine will start

Tricky game on paper this , go into it half cocked , and you know what the outcome could be , go into it all guns firing and we win it’s that simple .
