So what's the weather like, cold, wet and breezy? or can't you tell from inside your double glazed executive suite?
Bielsa pre match… What position is Phillips playing tonight: DM/Midfield Roberts hasn’t scored, is his position CF tonight? Yes we expect a CF to score goals if they don’t they’re contribution should create goals for others
Well I'm a bit nervous tonight play like we did at Brighton we will lose. We need a big performance tonight. We know it's there somewhere but no more excuses it's time to start producing it
The eagles have landed.....make sure we clip there wings, leave everything out there lads and bring home the goods
The one thing he did was hold the ball up. As soon as he came on we kept the ball alot better. He also pulled defenders out of position with his runs off the ball. Sometimes it's not necessarily what some players do on the ball but what they do without it. Klich at 10 is very much one of those players. He has been massively off form with the ball for a good 12 months but watch his movement tonight off the ball. He will run the undercut out wide which forces defenders back central allowing us space around the sides. Klich is a very intelligent player and intrinsic to Bielsaball. It's just a shame he can't pass the ball 10 yards this season. Hopefully Tyler can replicate his Brighton cameo for a full 90. If not we have Gelhardt to come on and run them to death or we have Rodrigo to come on and make runs in behind.
Looking at the Palace team sheet and clips this season I feel nervous too, Gallagher looks awesome, Eze and Zaha more than dangerous
