The Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

29 October 2016 2782 comments

Saturday’s events conclude at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace host Jurgen Klopp’s buoyant Liverpool side.

Goals certainly look on the agenda – Palace are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Klopp’s defence are without a shut-out on the road in ten away trips.

Christian Benteke will carry the Eagles’ threat against his former club, while Liverpool’s likely benefactors are far more difficult to pin down.

Philippe Coutinho heads into the encounter having earned more than 174,000 transfers in as the most popular target ahead of Gameweek 10.

However, James Milner won’t be featuring on the scoresheet: he misses out having missed training this week with a virus. Alberto Moreno comes in at left-back for the visitors – a potential weak point that will no doubt be targeted by Alan Pardew’s men.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Wouldn't do A because of rotation risk after int break. Monitor Southampton for tomorrow and Thursday to find out how they play now when Boufal is back. C could be a good move as well. B for me, just, depending on whether Austin is 100 % nailed

    I might keep Ibra for one more week.....I know, I know, hear me out.

    With 1 FT I can get to this team:

    Heaton
    Fuchs - Mustafi - Lovren
    Firmino - Coutinho - Sterling - Chadli
    Aguero - Ibra - Austin

    Pickford - Holebas - Capoue - Amat

    The free transfer would be Baines to Fuchs.

    If I get rid of Ibra it will be for Lukaku or Costa who both play each other in what could be a close game. Ibra has Swansea.

    I won't be foolish enough to captain him again but I think I might be able to get away with it one last week....then he's gone! Otherwise I keep Baines and play Holebas vs Liverpool (a) - Or perhaps I take a hit.

    I know most people will disagree, but I reckon these transfers will definitely pay off as the weeks go by..

    Foster/Williams > Heaton/Fuchs (-4)

    Y or N?

    That was quite frustrating to watch as a Coutinho/Mane owner.

    Mane looked like he didn't want to be on the pitch.
