TheMightyVillans Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 pretty decent selection from gerrard. Curious why so many missing from bench though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2022 Wonder what the shape will be. Possibly fluid anyway, but with Kamara, Luiz and McGinn we can go 433 or 4231. Possibly Gerrard's ideas evolving after what he saw against United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Drop Mcginn for Buendia and this team is perfect! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point is having any big guns sitting on the bench when they can be having a 90 minute game elsewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense If the plan is konsa and Carlos play 90 with feeney there as an injury back up only then mings can stay at home with his family rather than get dragged out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I wouldn't mind that team next week. I still think Buendia should be in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 kind of feel for Mings a bit here, presumably been sent to play in the 'less important" friendly against Fulham whilst the main focus and main team are in France 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho, Buendia and Bailey can all swap positions and interchange, Luiz and Kamara offer us better balance and control the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) The fact that Chambers isn’t in the squad allays any fears over Mings’ and Buendia’s status in the squad I think… Would at least have liked to see Emi starting or heavily involved… I really hope he doesn’t continue to be undervalued by SG… At least we aren’t seeing Ings & Watkins together. Hope Bailey makes an impact again. Good to see Luiz alongside Kamara in midfield… Edited July 30, 2022 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Mandanda is a decent goalkeeper but never settled at Palace I don't think, don't know any of their other players but they finished decent place last year so should be a good contest. It's the type of European fixture we usually have as a home pre season game for £10 a ticket which is often a good watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
