Crystal Palace v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Concrete John]

Got a strong feeling this will be a draw.

1-1 with Ayew scoring for us.

[Witton Warrior]

A draw would set us up nicely for the Sunderland match - Palace will be all guns blazing which may leave room for our tricksy-footed forwards to puncture their celebratory balloon and leave Pardew a smirk-free zone 1-1

A bad time to be playing what looks like a good crystal palace team.
I think this one has come a little to soon for the new boys. 2-0 them.
Expect to see us bounce back against Sunderland.

[Summers]

If Traore plays, we'll win. They wont know how to handle him, and he'll be full of confidence.
Someone in the midfield (Sanchez?) needs to be told his main job is to stop Cabaye anytime he gets the ball, and track his runs towards the box.

I reckon we'll win this one. Palace are one of the teams we need to leapfrog this season and I think we'll beat them narrowly

2-1 villa.

I would go 4-3-3
              Guzan
Hutton. Richards. Clark. Amavi
             
     Westwood.sanchez.gueye.

Adama.                     Grealish

              Gestede
                 

[darren woolley]

1-0 Palace.

[Ron Manager]

I would go 4-3-3
              Guzan
Hutton. Richards. Clark. Amavi
             
     Westwood.sanchez.gueye.

Adama.                     Grealish

              Gestede
                 

That is also the line up I would start with.

[PaulTheVillan]

1-1

Gabby for us (LOL)

Own goal or a mistake for them.

[villadelph]

Might be a little lightweight with Gil and Westwood but I think with Libor up top it will be strong up front, Cabeye ain't gettin stuck in anyway. Why isn't Kozak getting picked by anyone? He knows how to score and difficult to defend. If he runs out of gas it's not like we don't have other attacking options.

Traore on for Jack or Sinclair at 65. Rudy on for Libor when necessary. Sanchez on for Gil when we're up one, squeaky bum.

2-1 Victoryyy! Jack and Rudy.

[KRS]

Thats a losing team if I ever saw one. Back to the drawing board for you VD.

[villadelph]

Thats a losing team if I ever saw one. Back to the drawing board for you VD.

You started Traore and Grealish in the 10, Sinclair on the other side.  Not to mention Bacuna at the back.. and I'm back to the drawing board? Ha.

[PeterWithesShin]

Them 1 Us 17 if we start Traore. Them 4 Us 0 if we start with Gabby and no Traore.

[LukeJames]

I'd love us to go with this, unfortunately I can't see it.       

                           Guzan

Hutton.   Richards.   Clark.   Amavi.

                Sanchez.     Gueye.   

Traore.                  Gil                  grealish.   

                            Sinclair
                 

[Legion]

Neither can I. Swap Sinclair and Traore over. Job's a goodun.
