Hellu!
Crystal P will be a difficult game, even harder to beat than Swansea away I guess, if you compare these teams latest results. And ours for that matter ...
And the Londoners must be absolutely eager to get that win for safety. They can't rely on Swansea not losing vs the Saints, so Crystal P are not safe yet!
Will it be counter attacks we could take advantage of here, when Crystal P go forward? Will Diouf play? Do we have another player who can actually pass the ball to one of our OWN players in the penalty box?
A winger of any kind?
Who would it be then?
Ramadan? Bauer?
What would be the best formation and line up?
Damn, that Andy Carroll goal!
🤔

We need a near miracle to beat them.
Zaha will dive early doors, our fans will get on his back - and he'll think fuck this - and smash two past Butland.
Really can't see us scoring, nevermind winning.

Let's hope Diouf has got all the missed sitters out of his system and bags a hatrick against Palace!!

It's 3pts.or we are relegated.
Can someone please tell Lambert that going for 1 pt.ain't good enough.
Then tell him again and again untill it sinks fucking in.

I was hopeful the board had originally told him that if we are relegated he is fired. Clearly they didn't, because his tactics are like a manager who will be here regardless. |

Think only chance to win is to ply Shaq and Allen further forward each side of Crouch as they are the only ones who can Poss take a chance in terms of scoring.
Butland Bauer Shawcross Zouma Pieters
Cameron Ireland Nday
Allen. Shay
Crouch
Worth a go nothing to lose now got to win

You know full well he will start Crouch.
So much for his on the front foot pressing game.
I'm still waiting....

Really can't see us scoring, nevermind winning. Zaha really doesn't need to dive against us. He's much better than anything we have talent wise (Shaqiri aside) and will easily take the piss out of Pieters or Johnson. |

Erik has proved he's good a man-marking. That's his one and only job for Saturday. Palarse have proved many times this year they are poor without zaha.
Go'arn Erik....

Could Bauer do a man to man on him (Zaha)???
Play 10 v 10!

I will tell you Pugs, it isn't, just about all of those players have been available for the previous 13 games...some decent players in there but you need a winning mentality. It's a sobering thought that one of our better players, Badou has never won in a Stoke shirt.  |

From what I've seen Bauer is a wing-back not a full back - defending is the weakest part of his game. Had Indi been fit I'd have been inclined to put Zouma on him - see if he likes it Rrrrough!! However not sure that option will be available |

Ireland seems a popular choice here, but not with master tactician Lambert. If he doesn’t get a game against Palace and Fletcher comes on again, then Lambert’s a bigger 🤡 than I thought.......Bayern’s team is spot on imo and should’ve been given a chance weeks ago.....0 wins in 13?
Oh well, Championship he we come...😞

Pieters is no wing back, but he’s an excellent left back and has proved it time and again. |

Edit: Seymour Beaver beat me to it I thought that too, and I was impressed by his performance but it really doesn't change my opinion. He has overwhelmingly struggled this season. Will a great performance against Mo Salah improve his confidence? Probably. Will it make him perform better on Saturday.... only time will tell. I'm not convinced. Zaha really doesn't need to dive against us. He's much better than anything we have talent wise (Shaqiri aside) and will easily take the piss out of Pieters or Johnson. Take the piss out of Pieters like Salah did on Satdee? Give it a rest. Pieters is no wing back, but he’s an excellent left back and has proved it time and again. Right.... so we'll just gloss over a very very VERY poor season by our Erik and promote him to player of the season eh? Forget this Pieters ain't a wing back bollocks. He's been generally poor this season. I don't blame him. Hughes ruined him as a player. He was immense that first season but has got progressively worse since, thanks to Mark and his fucking daft tactical changes. |

"Must go for 3 points" Might have been a good idea for the 36 games we've already played instead of being scared of getting beat by a few.
