Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle United - 30/11/2024 @ 1500 (No UK TV)


Recommended Posts

Gordon over Barnes is a bold call by Howe, giving his form. Gordon has to repay the faith today for me, otherwise he can have zero complaints if he’s dropped for next 3+ games.

 

Bloody hope Tonali is central, and we get a Bruno / Joelinton right side link up.

Thought he might have brought Trippier in for Tino tbh.

 

Anyway I'd like to see Tonali playing the no 6 and Bruno further forward and see if that works better.

It's almost like do or die for Tonali, if it doesn't work out the doubters will be all over it, and he will probably be on the bench for the next few games at the very least.

He needs the Gordon "play no matter what" treatment.

Exzctly this. Let him control play with his technical ability and let Bruno try and create in the 8 position

 

Lads, we all know that what we want, but we also know that is exactly what won't happen, sadly. Eddie doesn't play with 6, and as much i love him and wish he would, doesn't seem like he ever will.

They haven’t played a lot together as a trio so patience is needed. Having said that, this is the our best midfield trio imo. Hopefully they perform reasonably well so they can get more time together. Willock gives at least some sort of deptth as an option passing forward which also helps Isak. Even though he’s not my kind of player for this role ideally. Unless it’s a game with lots of transitions.

Well, subject to the tactical arrangement, we've got what we wanted. Let's hope we do the business. This game feels like it will forecast our future.

Really, really hoping for a good performance from Tonali & Bruno together. I almost don't care about the result in the short term, we need to get these 2 dovetailed properly so that we can begin to see the benefits for the rest of the season.
