Ramsey and McGinn do not work well together. McGinn shouldn’t be anywhere near a team trying to push for Europe. Bailey has been woeful and Watkins control is poor. The sooner we move away from starting McGinn and Watkins every week, the better we’ll be. We desperately need one, probably two new central midfielders. 

Gerrards response? Drop goal scorer Ings and give McGinn the captaincy. It’s utter lunacy.

Luiz isn't a hard man with running power...or something 

I dont understand your point. He has positional awareness in defence, that will be a start

Get Ramsey off he’s awful. Luiz in.

Get Mginn off he’s on a yellow.

 

Would be great if our only midfield option on the bench other than Luiz wasn't Nakamba wand was instead the guy starting for a champions league team just 18 months ago.

Viera had palace playing with a packed box (5 on back line) with a quick counter until today.   He shifted to 4 at the back with the midfield pressing high and attacking with speed at any turnover.   We set up to try and break down a parked bus.  So, our choice now is to stay the same and hope or change personnel and/or formation.  The better tactic now would be to go to two speed forwards with one in behind and play long ball to them.  Take the CP midfield out of the match.  I would change formatoin and tactic at half, then change personnel at 55th or 60th minute to increase the speed of our attack.

Hard to understand really how SG could believe Palace would play negative against us at home.

Because it's the setup. Our buildup is so slow that by the time we are ready to attack Palace has their low block setup. Emi has to beat 2 Palace defenders just to have a decent look for a pass/shot. 

Yeah it’s frustrating to watch. Last weekend even the announcers were saying we were so slow it allowed the defense to fully set up by the time we started attacking.
