Sour Mash Posted 23 December, 2014 Share Posted 23 December, 2014 I would certainly have Davis if fit. The midfield doesn't click in the same way without him. Wouldn't be surprised to see either Wanyama or Morgan kept fresh for Chelsea. We can rotate with Reed and Ward-Prowse solid options. Good point that. Can we manage this game, whilst keeping either one of Wanyama or Schneiderlin on the bench? So a Midfield three of one of those two, Davis and JWP, with Long, Tadic and Pelle up front.

Play a weakened team and you never know what will happen that might affect the next game. I would go Forster, Clyne, Alderweireld, Yoshida, Bertrand, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Davis (Capt), Tadic, Pelle, Long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace game we may need more attacking creativity, Chelsea game we may see less of the ball and need greater defensive bodies across midfield. Across the Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal game, somthing is going to have to give at some point, it will be interesting to see how Koeman plays it.

Re the Chelsea match, we should not be too defensive in midfield. Stoke tried Cameron in there last night, big and strong yes, but not very creative. Once they replaced him with the much better passer / positive Adam they looked much improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 24 December, 2014 Share Posted 24 December, 2014 The greatest pundit in the world has spoken: Paul Merson. 'Southampton will feel much better after the Everton result but this will be a tough game for them at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace are a side that always seem to play well but never win! They never seem to put in a bad display but can’t get over the line. I worry about teams like that, so I’m going for a 1-1 draw.' ....right, Paul...

nta786 Posted 24 December, 2014 Share Posted 24 December, 2014 This is Lawro's as well if anyone gives a f**k. Southampton were missing a few players against Everton last weekend and still rolled them over. That was a big result for Saints and it arrested their slide. Crystal Palace competed well early on against Manchester City, but ended up being well beaten. I get the impression with Palace that, if they score first, they can give teams a decent game. If they concede first, it is a real problem to them. I am pretty certain Eagles boss Neil Warnock will look to bring a few new players in when the January transfer window opens. Warnock knows they are in a relegation fight and he also knows what they need to stay up. They are not under-achieving by being fourth bottom and, if they are still there at the end of the season, then it is happy days for them. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Guy Mowbray's prediction: 1-1. "Could have tossed a coin with this one, so will go for the middle option. Palace to score first." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted 24 December, 2014 Share Posted 24 December, 2014 Would love to win this. Palace are up there with Reading and Watford for being the noddiest clubs in the football league. In fact they're even worse for having 'ultras'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why when analysing a game before the transfer window opens does he waste most of his words talking about what might happen after, how is that relevant. He really is a bit of a retard (with apologies to retards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton Saint Posted 24 December, 2014 Share Posted 24 December, 2014 Be interesting to see what side Koeman puts out for this one after the shadow x11 did so well against Everton.
