Played through really easily a couple of times

Think both are going to be strong. Just realised Caraboa sponsor Chelsea

The proper keeper and Mane for me. But shows where the strength is at now, only two or three positions where we might worry

There’s the Diego Torres book that claims he was distraught and in tears to his agency at not getting the job when Moyes did. This was his Everest

Would Man Utd pay what it takes for Poch?

Know what you mean, but I think it’s all about getting to 90 plus points and chasing City. If it’s an 85 point title, then that brings Spurs, Chelsea etc into it as well. If we’re looking at just CL places, then maybe. Also think the UTD squad & manager are still more than capable of 80 plus points playing s***

Is he trying to play with 12?

Spurs struggling to deal with this, they don’t have the players to stretch the play out wide

4 central midfield players for Man Utd at home, no swaying Mourinho.

It’s a shame for him that his body couldn’t sustain his talent. Might even have helped win us more. As a person though he comes across as the self-serving but civil type; calculating enough to run down his Liverpool contract to make himself more marketable, money motivated enough to pursue a better contract offer from Newcastle and status orientated enough to take a bit part role at Man Utd, all considerations put way ahead of any sentiment he had for LFC, so it shouldn’t be a shock if loads of reds don’t laud him like they do others who may have done less on the pitch.

Agree. By all means give bench guys 20-30m, but no need now to rest guys when we’re on one game a week and most have had a near full pre season. Henderson, Bobby, Trent & Lovren are the ones playing catch up to some degree

Think Firmino stays in line up and our plan would be to go out full pelt and make changes after an hour. Dunno in midfield, the three seem to be working well and Henderson played well when he came on. It doesn’t look like Fabinho is getting starts until we go to two games a week after the break, which is fair enough

The hype works in lots of different ways, in the minds of many opponents to come this can now become the game that shows this isn’t the same club that lost leads at Palace way back, but also against a few last season. There was a justifiable perception that if you were two behind against us, the game wasn’t over. Having clubs more worried about shipping another two than getting back into the game is a good place to be

This seems to be massive incompetence by the CPS.

Ha!

Yeh, having that as normal is what it takes.

Big big win Palace are a strong fit team

Maybe you’re just seeing it that way. It’s not as if this manager doesn’t bother about who he’s playing & specifically about how to deal with teams that are more direct, he regularly makes a point about how he sets the team up to deal with it. It’s also not as if the bigger lads mentioned can’t play.

Different game though, lots of high balls and second balls seem likely, as does tracking Zaha. Wouldn’t be shocked if both Henderson & Fab come in to start, but expecting at least one to, and maybe both to finish the game if we’re winning with 20 to go.

So a marketing trick to make people think they were getting all but one or two home games in the new place, rather than half?

Certainly not to us. I’d guess much depends on how Lovren is assessed come the end of the month. If Lovren is good to go by then, wouldn’t they rather have Philips playing in league cup squads as 5th choice?

Staying there till at least Jan
