Chelsea are out of form, out of the title race, riddled with injuries and play in the CL on Tuesday. We couldn't really ask for a better time to play them.

Having said all that I think we'll lose 0-1.

I always like your posts Doombear, as they are always sensible!

Damn forgot about Gallagher! Of course! My bad. Okay time to give Eze a start in his best #10 position and see how he goes.

And nah I think against a tough team like Chelsea, Eduoard is better on the counter than Tekkers. Despite what you think, I’m not in love with Benteke…just think he’s better than you say he is. And certainly better than Mateta

Going on form & creativity - Chelsea 4-0
Yet as there is always a yet - recall Liverpool game !
Yet if Hughes decides to run with the ball , if Zaha,Mitchell,Ayew decide
To actually try to take on players not look for pass backs
If the back four don’t f around with non stock cross play
I reckon we could get a draw

One thing is for sure Patrick needs to get them playing creative football
Not passie backies all the time

Forever Palace Proud

Not with me its not, not the finished article, but you can tell by his movement and reading of the game at 23 he will be a good signing, sure he will miss some chances, all strikers do, but its being in the places to miss them that counts

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Just watched the Tuchel press conference on Palace's website.

Unless I missed it (possible as I was skipping 30 secs ahead at a time), not 1 journalist asked about the game on Saturday. I don't think Crystal Palace was named once. Not even sure why Palace TV put it up on the website.

Now I hope we beat them so the journalists with their nose up Tuchel's bum can take it out and wonder why Chelsea actually dropped points this weekend.
