Last PL game before jetting off to Saudi for the club World Cup

Presumably no Haaland and Doku

We are due to spank someone and Palace have had a few good results at ours recently so it might as well be today

But any old win will do

2-0 Foden Rodri

I hate Hodgson, nothing but thuggery and parked bus. This will be a shit watch I reckon.

On the plus side at least that cunt "I deserve chmps league" Zaha fucked off.

This could be a long old afternoon. I am not looking forward to this at all. Could be a gane for Nunes to show up and show us what he is all about

Zaha and Andros Townsend have left thankfully - they always had their game of the season against us.

No Doku no Haaland which is not a surprise.

Be a tough game this, very low block and quick ball to Olise will be the tactic, a few clogs in between, early goal would fuck Woys anti football tactics, so come on City.

Not looking forward to this , as several posters have already mentioned. We should win comfortably but when has that ever happened for us. They will pack the defence and hit us on the break if they can. I'm just hoping we play with passion, speed and go forward when we can instead of backwards and sideways across the park. Less of the tippy tappy football this afternoon and lets shoot more often rather than pass it into the net . Keep it simple and whatever we do let's not fuck up and let in a soft goal. Hopefully Phillips will not be used. Good luck!

What was the purpose in playing Stones on Wednesday?

Couldn’t have been to get him more minutes for the weekend game. Because he isn’t even playIng.

And Wednesdays game was not even close to the importance of the PL fixture today

Baffled

So we're not playing with a centre back stepping into midfield.
Maybe walker will be more advanced down the right with silva drifting in.

Very disappointed Stones isn’t starting. Really looking forward to Stones and Rodri playing together.

I've often thought Pep sometimes does things just to confuse everyone
