A slight mis control set it up nicely but wonderful finish

We do like playing against teams with a red cross in their logo

into injury time now. 2-0

Managed through that game ok. Predictable 2-0 dub.

Hopefully they recover for the Palace game which is a very short break.

Don't get me wrong, the side is only lost 1 game... but I hope we don't burn out our players, as in games like this we aren't rotating our players much...
I'm not saying it's wrong but I would of liked to see more

I agree but also understand we need to bank points in the CL early. Few of the other big guns have dropped points already which could help us secure a top 8 spot and two less games in the knock out stage.

And the ability to rotate isn’t really there with so many players sold in summer and no Chiesa or Elliott tonight.

Nice win though, fair strike by Mo.

I thought they had binned the "Wednesday UCL - Saturday lunchtime PL" turnaround?

Hard to see how Slot avoids rotation for Palace. IMO likely to see at the least Gakpo and Jones in the starting XI.

Lineup for Palace


-------------------------Ali------------------------


Trent-------Jogo--------VVD---------Robbo

----------Macca-------Grav-------Curtis

-----Mo--------Darwin------ Gakpo

We're looking really light in mid with Thiago leaving, Baj on loan & now Harvey out with a broken foot. Just Curtis & Endo as depth right now in midfield. Technically Morton is an option however Slot doesn't seem to see him as an option currently.


If we cop an injury or two in midfield we're in deep shit. Seems Slot isn't putting his faith in McConnell & Nyonyi just yet.

I'd almost be tempted to start Endo in the lineup on Saturday if Grav needs a rest - we simply can't afford to lose Grav right now.
