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.

    Gutted I capped Deeney over Kun or Sanchez, but my logic wasn't flawed... The big two had been blanking and Hull have conceded at least five in the last few away matches

      You missed out on the logic that Watford are struggling for goals, and Sanchez and Kun are well, Sanchez and Kun.

    Kun Lukaku Costa

    Watched the Liverpool game today, Coutinho seems to be a must have at the moment, so want to get rid of Lallana, only issue is one free transfer and .2 in the bank. It's a bit of a long winded way of doing it but what do people think of:
    Lallana, Capoue and Williams to Coutinho, Clayton and Friend? Would be for minus 8 and need to do it tonight.

    Or would be advise just downgrading my strike force a bit, Costa doesn't seem too popular round here

      Costa might yet smash it tomorrow and Austin carries a warning too.

        Have quiet a bit of money tied up in Costa and Lukaku so would need to consider it a bit more before dropping them, wish Coutinho wasn't rising tonight so I could see how Costa and Lukaku do tomorrow

          6.0 or less makes me able to do Pickford/Grant -> Heaton. Looking at Fuchs, VVD, Blind or Alonso.

          Even considering going for someone like Cedric and thereby being able to do Amat -> Lovren/Stones.

          Have Bellerin, Pieters, Smith, Amat and Holebas.

          Money could also be used to upgrade Theo if that becomes necessary.

                aye maybe so but 1 point in the greater scheme of things is nothing really, I see it as 6 rather than 2 had he not scored. If all my players scored 6 points each week i would be very happy with that.

              a) Valencia, Snoddy, Walcott- Lovren, Gundogan, Mahrez (Leicester have good fixtures)

              B) Valencia, snoddy, Ibra- Clyne, Alli, Giroud

              Maybe view it as a chance to take a couple of punts and get a couple of players before other people (you have the Liverpool price rises anyway).

            Thanks. Looks like I'll hopefully have some more time before I need to shift Grant.

        Going to be rooting for Amat to come off the bench Monday if he's still not a starter. I'd take a 1 pointer.

        I know I'm beating a dead horse around here, but any bonus system that awards Moreno a BAP ahead of Cout is truly crocked. Being greedy after today's results, but still annoying.

          Swings and roundabouts. Over the season you will receive plenty undeserved BAP'S.

            Fair enough.

            Comment was intended to be less about my score and more about the fact that Cout had a MoM showing today, while Moreno was... Moreno.

        Lots of people bringing in Austin....

        But reading hot topic from other day some think he'll lose place to bouffal......

        Do folk think Austin nailed?

          boufal is winger, he's more likely to take redmond's spot. But I think he'll play in midfield somewhere

          Saints don't score too many. Charlie by far there most natural goalscorer.
