Crystal Palace Away

    First game of the new season, I'd expect the following in the same 4-2-3-1 formation like against Espanyol. Can't see AVB starting Fryers in the Premiership, hopefully Kaboul is fit for the full 90 minutes. Capuoe could get his debut from the bench for the last 20 (if he's signed by then). Sandro to get a run too.

    Lloris
    Walker
    Dawson
    Kaboul
    Rose
    Paulinho
    Dembele
    Lennon
    Sigurdsson
    Chadli
    Soldado

    Prediction, 2-0 Spurs, Soldado with the opener and Siggy with second early in second half

    That team really does look ordinary without GB:(

    Just wondering if BAE is injured or dropped?

    I'd prefer to see him there than Rose tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 385 ✭✭GS11


    BAE on twitter says he isn't injured.

    I think that team looks pretty good.

    This is what an ITK has to say

    On Benny: Staff and medics do not believe he is 100% and have not been for past year due to persistent same injury. Benny believes he is fit but there is differing opinions within, and AVB would not alienate a player to spite him if he believes he was fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,019 ✭✭✭davycc


    team looks great & id start rose before benny anyway myself..

    at least rose actually looks like he gives a fook about the team & the jersey & isnt just out for the craic like Benny.

    Hope fully AVB can help him develop as a great young hungry LB.. who can actually cross the ball & who wont go mad with lame uneeded failed showboating attempts like Benny ffs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,951 ✭✭✭SuprSi


    Will Kaboul be fit? If so, that's the team I'd start too. I'd like to see Siggy in that role as well, see what he can do.

    I don't think Siggys creative enough tbh. Against Espanyol he just seemed to go in circles and never offload to the striker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,951 ✭✭✭SuprSi


    I dunno, wasn't he being played on the wing though? I think he played that middle role for Reading (was that his team?) to great effect. He's got an excellent shot and I think could do well, but then again I'm sure AVB knows better!!

    To be honest I think BAE has got a hard time on here. He's a decent and composed defender.

    I know you're saying Rose looks like he gives a fook, but if he tries hard and gives away free-kick and gets sent of due to constant stupid fouls then he's worthless to us. Also, now that we're playing zonal marking we look weak defending set pieces, so avoiding free kicks is a must!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,813 ✭✭✭golfball37


    Rose has a lot of making up to do after his brainfart vs Villa the season before last. I'd like to see him get the opportunity however as he was very good for Sunderland last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭jobeenfitz


    I see Rose as a week link. Can't seem to pass the ball. Dunno what the story is with Benny but I would have him ahead of Rose every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭jobeenfitz


    Nearly there now and I am really excited about seeing Soldado play for us. Paulino seems to know how to get a goal also. Don't know much about Chadli and even less about Capoue but hope they are great signings. Hope they gel well and we can get the points. Hope Kaboul is fit enough to start and stays fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,951 ✭✭✭SuprSi


    No Bale anyway, so Chadli will get his chance to show what he's made of and perhaps claim a starting place


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    So it's gonna be Lloris Walker Daws Kaboul Rose Paulinho Dembele Lennon Sig Chad Soldado. We should have enough to turn them over. An early goal and we'll win comfortably, killing them on the break.

    No Sandro?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,108 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Nope, sure he only has 30 mins pre-season under his belt after months and months out.

    Doubt Kaboul will start either.

    Would be a bit mad to throw Capoue in there with only a couple of days training to his WHL career so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,813 ✭✭✭golfball37


    There should be no slip ups here. Should be winning at least 2-0 or else we're at nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    No Sandro?

    Nope not fully fit, nor is Kaboul but I guessed he would take a gamble on him ahead of Fryers.

    Palace have just signed a new defender from Florian Marange..

    I dont know if its in time to play on Sunday though?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 533 ✭✭✭Here Precious2


    Delicious result at the emirates....just sayin:D

    Come on now lads 3 points tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,019 ✭✭✭davycc


    im watching every glorious minute of it comon villa we want 5


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    I reckon it could do really well for us. Hopefully there will be Andy Carroll level of panic buys out of them.

    Of course they could roll off and deal really well but you wouldn't know what will happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,108 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey

    Come on now lads 3 points tomorrow.

    Only prob now is that they absolutely must go out and buy players. Hopefully it will be some panic buys. And if the players are brought in by someone other than Wenger then he'll not even plat them for spite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭jobeenfitz


    Be nice to See Soldado getting one on his prem league debut. Would be very happy if we scrape a win with some new players bedding in and this being away game. Its nice to be thinking about football again instead of money. Hope we don't require Fryers at CB tomorrow. Worried about Rose playing also. I would be delighted with 0-1 tomorrow but I think there will be more goals than that. Just hope we end up with one more than them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    Today is the day.

    Ever so slightly excited. I don't need any strong opening game like united had just a easy three points with everyone looking sharp.

    I'm going for 2 or 3 goal win here. Soldado getting a Hatrick because I think already I made a huge mistake not having RVP in my FF team...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,661 ✭✭✭mickman


    0-2 to us I'd say

    Lennon and soldado


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,108 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Going on our recent record on opening days of the season, the fact its a London derby and our CB problem. I'll go with a score draw. 2-2.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Agreed, any sort of result and I'd be happy. Score draw preferably.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,108 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Yeah. I think we will play well and it will be our CB issue that costs us. A draw is fine as long as the performance is encouraging.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,788 ✭✭✭White Heart Loon


    TBH, I'd be happy with getting a single point on the Gooners at this early stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    What's all this I'd take a draw rubbish, we should be beating teams like this lot, first game or not ....

    When's the last time Spurs won on opening day?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭jobeenfitz


    I'd be slightly more positive just for the fact we have Soldado, Its been a while since we started with a quality striker.

    Well said mate.

    For the first time in years we are going into a season with a clearly much improved squad and with genuine hope for a great season (more genuine than before anyway lol !)

    We need to go out with an expectation of victory or else we are going out with the same mentality as last year and we are much better than that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,788 ✭✭✭White Heart Loon


    Here is the team:
    Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Rose; Lennon, Dembele, Chadli, Sigurdsson, Paulinho; Soldado

    Subs today: Kaboul, Capoue, Townsend, Naughton, Defoe, Friedel, Carroll


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 471 ✭✭nipps


    great to see verts back, i'm feelin much more confident now:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,788 ✭✭✭White Heart Loon


    Yeah and Capoue made the bench, love to see him getting his debut for the last few.


    No Ade, Parker, BAE, Sandro, Holtby and Bale and still a strong team
