I see your point but that would just be another thing added to the already crazy list of things that the fixture "computer" has to decide on. Doesn't really have to decide anything. Like the European games, just shift a game to the Sunday, if there is a midweek game following a Sunday game. Admittedly that looks a lot easier to do right now, with no cup games until November. Next year might be a nightmare. Edited September 1, 2022 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest I've no reason to doubt the team that Howe puts out, but we were up for it vs Liverpool, and Man City. This is the first home game that doesn't have any particular edge to it, and Palace are to be underestimated at our peril. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 3 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: But then to lose a point last night with the last kick of the game and to not get all three against an awful looking Wolves side feel like missed opportunities. This is why I've tempered my expectations. I think we were always likely to be heavily dependent on the squad, and would inevitably miss some of those opportunitires. After the first few games, though, I'm less worried about our backups. And if you follow @Optimistic Nut's chart, we actually appear to be doing better than expected. Once we're n full flow things should begin to take shape quite nicely. Nobody likes injuries, but I stand by my thinking that [Krafth aside] it's been more precautionary than necessary. Howe has never once given any impression that the team on the pitch isn't capable, and they've backed him up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hopefully a repeat of last season. Palace are hyped beyond belief because they don’t get thrashed against the top teams but when it boils down to it are bang average and supported by total wankers. Hopefully Wiwf gets a paddy on and gives up early doors if he hasn’t already fucked off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I can't see any way a home game to Palace is tougher than an away game at Anfield with our reserve team. It's a tough game which we shouldn't underestimate, but I can't see why we would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're at as much danger of underestimating ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expectations, the fact they have done well away to City and LFC themselves in the past, are hard to break down, can press or counter and never seem to give up. I really like the balance Vieira seems to get them set up since he arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Going to this. Hotels are pricey days but my mate is going to put me up in spare room and I will sort him out 4-5 pints. Vital game. A win would be big, sets us up nicely for West Ham away and Bournemouth home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few Dairylea sandwiches on the train up should see them full of energy. Too much Asda Blue Bolt and they might crash second half, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Can see a couple of changes to the team for this one. Think Botman and Schar will come back in. Bruno too if fit. Hopefully Maxi can play but I doubt he will be ready. Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Bruno (Longstaff if not fit) Willock Joelinton ASM (Fraser if not fit) Isak Miggy Would also like to see Anderson come on for Willock a bit earlier around the 60/65 minute mark.

BonesJones Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Eddie is a step ahead of Patrick for me and knows how to counter other styles very well. Hard fought game but our quality comes through. Crowd will be well up for it after Arsenal + Isak home debut. 3 - 0 2 for Isak, 1 for Botman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Had a decent enough start to the season but can’t help but feel like this is a must win game or else all of a sudden our start to the season actually looks poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Reckon Schar and Botman getting a rest will have paid dividends, hopefully we can squeeze Bruno in too. Isak will notch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
