Has anyone heard if Antonio is injured. He looked like he was playing most of the game against Liverpool hobbling a bit as if he had a back or hamstring problem.
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
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
Why have Fab in the side at all? Surely Carroll is better suited since he’s taller and can just head the ball away. (Keeper’s) Gloves are for wusses, anyway.

With regards Wilshere I really wanted him to do well, but if out for the season then the Manager owns that one, Sully wasn’t keen
Yet when he had the ball he was galloping like a good 'un.
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.
Swoon
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.
Fab
Rice
Antonio Silva Nasri Holland Yarma Lanzini Anderson Diangana
Arnie
Yep, certainly looks attacking to me. ;biggrin
Let's just try and outscore the opposition!!!
Hold on a minute...where's Markie ;angry
Would be great to see lanzini back (as long as he is not rushed
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
Fabianski; Fredericks Balbuena Diop Cresswell; Rice Noble; Antonio Lanzini Anderson; Arnie
Adrian, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Obiang, Snodgrass, Nasri, Hernandez
He's been one of our most consistent performers this season when he's been deployed down the middle
