I would go for:

Hennessy

Ward
Tomkins
Kelly
PVA

McArthur
Milivoyevic
Cabaye

Zaha
Townsend

Benteke

Sakho coming off the bench, I worry he is still likely to be off the pace/fragile. TFM also coming on as Ward will likely be lacking match fitness.

Sorloth coming on either for or with Benteke depending upon how we are doing at the 70th minute.

Ward has done well recently and is a better defender but TFM has the legs when the game starts to stretch.

Roy said Sorloth will have some involvement, hopefully at least 15mins so we can get a look at him. Would like to see Rakip as well, can't see Jach getting anywhere near the team straight away unfortunately but I'm sure he will look good when he does play.

Similar lineup as to the one against West Ham except with Sako swapped out for someone

Roy likes to play two strikers, sorloth could start alongside Benteke, doubtful mind.

but I see that happening soon, for home matches against bottom half sides.

With two giants up top we could launch an aerial bombardment if we're chasing games, plus teams won't be able to use half their defence to challenge each header that Tekkers goes for.

Aaaand........with two giants up top it's gonna be a "who scores more competition?". Palace or the opponents. Every lost ball will lead to a counter attack. The 2 main strikers don't have the mobility to close down spaces and run down to do defensive work.
Plus, attacks would only be like long balls for their headers, nothing more

WH

TFM Tomkins Sakho PVA

Luka

Cabaye McArthur

Wilf Benteke Townsend

Subs: Speroni, Jach (if he's close to the level), Sorloth, Ward, Rakip, Riedewald, Souare


Agree about TFM with his superior pace against Atsu. It would be great to give Souare minutes if humanly possible as we probably need to consider him and/or PVA as cover for the wing...so he could do with playing.

I'd love it if Roy could let Wilf roam a bit...sniff out weaknesses.

And can i just say...given the injuries ( and the fuss) that is one heck of a match day squad.


 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Nope, not if Sakho plays. Ward has some weird Sympatico with him. He goes from liability to world class.

He’s probably scared of him!

Roy has said that Sorloth needs match sharpness but is fit so he will be on the bench I reckon. He also strongly hinted that Rakip and Jach are not quite ready when he said we have the same 18 players from West Ham + Delaney fit for sunday(Sorloth in for Bakary) .

Completely agree, although think Ward might get the nod ahead of TFM.

Agreed....

Really pleased with the last few windows, seems like we're slowly building a much better squad.

And absolutely love Roy! Never thought I'd be saying that a year ago...

That was a bit of an odd comment from Roy about Delaney I thought. 'We have 18 players + Delaney'. Does he not think Delaney is up to it now?

Apart from that I agree that this could be the team and bench in terms of personnel. Will he go 4-3-3 though or 4-5-1?
