Guest av1 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Meanwhile for them. McCarthy, Ward, Delaney, Dann, Souare, McArthur, Cabaye, Zaha, Puncheon, Sako, Murray. No Bolasie. For all the praise that Palace receive for the squad they have built, (correctly so) I believe our match day squad is at least on a par (I actually think it's better) 1-2 Gabby & Gestede.

sexbelowsound Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I share the concern about this one. I don't know why but I just get the feeling we're going to get turned over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Gil must not be fit in order not to at least make the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave01 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The team looks setup for a tricky away fixture and bench has a few options at least. 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Meanwhile for them. McCarthy, Ward, Delaney, Dann, Souare, McArthur, Cabaye, Zaha, Puncheon, Sako, Murray. No Bolasie. For all the praise that Palace receive for the squad they have built, (correctly so) I believe our match day squad is at least on a par (I actually think it's better) 1-2 Gabby & Gestede. For me the biggest problem with Villa for the last many many years (and looks like it will be this year too) is that I can never figure out what formation we are playing and what our philosophy is (long ball or passing or wing play or central play), we always have a bunch of players playing out of position which makes our starting eleven very messy and unbalanced. We have no idea what tactic we are playing today,we might be playing a 433, 4231, 41212 or 4312 and I bet we will be no wiser when the match is finished, if you look at all the good teams in the world you can look at their starting eleven and know exactly how they are playing and who is playing where (ofc they are also fluid and players are allowed to roam out of position) . Therefor I feel Palace's squad look a lot stronger, they play a simple 4231, quick wingers creative and flamboyant cam with a strong striker. Simple but effective.

a m ole Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 More expansive roles for Gana and Westwood then, I suspect this is a diamond with width coming from Amavi and Bacuna. Makes sense to me as I thought the wingers and attacking fullbacks were getting in each other's way a little against Utd and Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Just saw the line up. I like it! Hopefully a run out for some impact from the Jordan's and Adama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2015 Bit harsh on Sinclair I think, Sanchez added to help with controlling those wingers of there's it looks solid enough. A lot of pressure on Grealish to get the best out of Gabby and Gestede. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Very open team from palace, Pardew's dropping of Jedinak annoys Palace fans. Our 3 man midfield can hopefully control things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Don't really like that starting line up. Lots of pressure on grealish to provide the creativity coz we know gabby will create shit. Keep it 0-0 until half time and then unleash Sinclair and traore on them second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple but effective. odd post. so because you can't figure it out, the players don't know? It very often looks like the players don't know, most often it looks like we don't really play a formation but we just have 11 players on the pitch. Usually when we use wingers we use strikers who drift all over the place (gabby, Ayew this season). It usually just looks messy. Every strong team has one preferred formation and we don't seem to have one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
