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.

    Have never owned Fuchs.. Only Simpson + Huth last season. Is he worth the extra 0.4 over the rest?

      Because he hasn't got points. Simple as that really. You could apply that logic to Ibra a few weeks ago and now we know ditching was the right move. With Sterling, I'd lean towards keeping, but you really can't afford to carry any underperforming mids this season

          And Sterling has blanked in 4 consecutive GW's, that's enough for people to start ditching him, you can't afford patience this season.

      I admit I didn't see the game, but I've heard that a lot recently, with no points to show for it.
      Gave him this week to give me some returns but nothing from 4 goals means he has to go.
      Might get him back in if he picks up again, but can't carry any mids this season

      Son to Tadic is tempting me. Why would doing it be wrong?

        I'm probably doing Son to Redmond. Tadic just doesn't appeal that much without pens

          Le Tiss was on TS the other week saying how good Redmond is having watched some training sessions; definitely interested in him

        I like it

        I'm a huge Tadic fan, and their fixtures pick up soon. Hull next, maybe I'm biased but looks good

      Valencia for Fuchs or a Southampton defender, thinking VVD...

      Am also doing Son > Coutinho and Deeney > Austin this week, defensive move would be a -4 but the rest of my defence is Amat, Kone, Smith, Pieters so backed into a bit of a corner as Kone may as well be a non player at the moment...could leave Deeney another week and avoid hit but very reluctant with Austin facing Hull next.
