Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa match thread

[Axl Rose]

Hopefully Watkins has had some time to reflect on his stupidity last week

Oh, fuck off. Reflect on your own stupidity.

Haha! That's the way, mate!

What happened to Mings?

Also, from memory, have we ever even taken a point from one of these Sunday lunch snoozetime fixtures?

He could barely walk at the end of the Everton game after stretching for the cross so not a shock for me. I doubt he'll feature again this season, why would he risk a euros place given we have little to play for now?

Think this is a big game for Ramsey today playing a bit more further forward (unless McGinn is the AM).

AEM v Zaha/Eze will be a bit of an issue though I suspect.

[manic-road]

Happy with the team, come on Villa get 3 points.

[SaddVillan]

Interesting that he's named Chukwuemeka in the squad even though he played for the kids on Friday v Baggies.

Looks like Barkley is finished, wonder if he'd even have been on the bench had Morgan Sanson been fit - I'd like to think not.

[Bobby Boy]

Bet Konsa is looking forward to reigniting his friendship with Zaha....

How long before Zaha is on the floor demanding action? Guessing the 12th minute.

[mrfuse]

I feel like the youth players maybe the victims of their own success if that's the correct term to use.

This would be the perfect game to play a few of them, but due to them only playing on Friday and not wanting to pick up any injuries we wont see as much of them as we would like.

Be nice to see Chuck for 15 minutes though.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

[Risso]

Well... This could be interesting, especially with the amount of Villa fans who are desperate to see Mings dropped/shipped out. Not the worst game for Hause to be at the back as I'd back him in an aerial duel against Benteke.

Are there are a huge amount of fans who want Mings dropped or sold?

[JUAN PABLO]

Grealish and Chucka on after 60 mins please. 

Hause did well earlier in season so not worried about him and happy Barkley back on the bench .

2-1  Villa

Must admit it passed me by, but then again I don't do social media.

Thought I’d tuned in to watch villa but according to sky Liverpool are on first again

No that I'm aware of either. You've got to look at the whole of the back 5 as a collective when you see Martinez equalling the clean sheet record.

I wasn't aware there were any let alone "a huge amount".
