  • Exactly. Maybe it was part of the free kick move to look injured (signal from Noble). But then he forgot to stop after scoring.

    If you watch the goal celebration someone jumps on his back and catches him in his lower back with a knee which made Antonio wince a bit.
  • But he was definitely having a problem earlier. I remember commenting on the match thread before the goal.

    Pelle confirmed Yarmelenko / Sanchez / Reid will not play this season. With Wilshire as a major doubt that he will play this season again either.

    Reckon the rumours of an early retirement for Reid might not just be rumours.

    Lanzini targeting the bench for 22nd Feb. Balbuena back in a couple weeks.
    Nasri not ready yet with calf injury probably back 22nd Feb.
  • I love Lanzini
  • Can't wait to see him in this side ;bowdown

    But such a shame for Yarmo in particular. He was starting to look really good, and would have added a lot throughout the season, IMO.

    Swoon

    Yes, its swoon, 22 February ;wink
  • Yarmolenko looked the bees knees before his injury. Reminds me of Arnie. With Anderson, Yarmolenko, Lanzini and Nasri in the side we will create bucket loads of chances. Add Diangana, Antonio, Silva (from the little I saw), Arnie (if he can be bothered) and Nathan Holland (from what I`ve heard) and we should have a pretty potent attacking line up to choose from when all fit. If we can get a really top class striker, (Gomez??) in the summer I think we will be pretty sorted in that department. ;wahoo
  • So that would be -

    Fab
    Rice
    Antonio Silva Nasri Holland Yarma Lanzini Anderson Diangana
    Arnie

    Yep, certainly looks attacking to me. ;biggrin

    Pity the poor defence facing that line up!

    Let's just try and outscore the opposition!!!

    Hold on a minute...where's Markie ;angry
  • He'll be Rice's therapist.

  • Would be great to see lanzini back (as long as he is not rushed
  • Herb, all joking aside, just for the sheer hell of it, and to totally dumbfound the oppo manager, wouldn`t it be lovely, just once, to field that side. Although I would swap Holland and Silva around. That would make more sense. ;scarf
  • I like the look of that line up but I wouldn't swap Holland and Silva around.

  • Should we go behind Fab could play rush goalie. ;hmm

    Whats with the negativity. Fab plays rush goalie from the start................

    Making a large assumption but if Lanzini / Nasri / Balbuena come back. (and none of our current players get injured)

    Who drops from the match day squad ?

    Our bench at Palace was:-

    Zabaleta / Arnautovic / Carroll / Adrian / Obiang / Masuaku / Diangana.

    our starting 11 at Palace was:-

    Fabianski / Fredericks / Diop / Ogbonna / Cresswell / Rice / Antonio / Noble / Snodgrass / Anderson / Hernandez
  • Of that 18, I would have Lanzini, Nasri & Balbuena in for Masuaku/Ogbonna, Diangana and Carroll

    Fabianski; Fredericks Balbuena Diop Cresswell; Rice Noble; Antonio Lanzini Anderson; Arnie

    Adrian, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Obiang, Snodgrass, Nasri, Hernandez
  • Wonder what Snodgrass is like in a double pivot

    He's been one of our most consistent performers this season when he's been deployed down the middle

    We're no longer top of the injury league table ;wahoo
  • We're no longer top of the injury league table ;wahoo

    Pellegrini out
  • Balbuena back in training.
  • Pelle also says Reid is now taking part in the full sessions too.
  • ;ok "Fabian Balbuena and Winston Reid have started doing part of the session with us, which is good news for them."
  • Will be nice if we can get Balbuena back for the next set of games coming up against lower opposition after the City game.
  • What I like about our squad, generally speaking, is that I don't think anyone* comes back from injury and get's rushed back into the lineup. I think that a month ago I'd have wanted Balbuena straight back in, but Diop and Ogbonna have been pretty decent on the whole and I don't feel as desperate for him to be rushed back in until he's ready.

    *The exception for me is Rice, as we don't really have anything like a suitable backup for his position.
  • I'm please for Reid. I wrote him off and said we'd never see him again. Happy to be proved wrong.
