    It's live on satellite TV out here ( South Africa )...so perhaps you'll get lucky....

    Strange Soler not starting after an impressive midweek performance, but I'll trust Mr Potter! COYI ⚒️

    Soler was one of the better players against Fulham, but dropped. I suppose it is tactical. What formation will be play? Is it 3-5-2 or 4-5-1. Potter hoping to nick a goal. Our midfiled it weak.

    Guess Summerville never made it

    Has to be a back 3 of Mavropanos - Kilman - Cresswell imo, no other reason for Cresswell to be playing.

    Only change for Palace is Kamada for Lerma

    Please use the dedicated Streams thread, rather than the match thread. Thanks.

    It’s funny how quickly the mood can shift. If I’d seen this line up two weeks ago I’d be a nervous wreck. We’re so far from our strongest team, but I like that Potter is making tactical decisions anyway.

    Cresswell doing well at center back, encouraging the back line to step out
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Poor by Kilman presents Palace with a chance but a decent save by Fabianski leads to a corner which comes to nothing.

    I thought poor by Guido, and then Alvarez, rather than Kilman, tbh.

    It was Kilman that gave the ball away cheaply, wasn't it?

    Soucek is in no man’s land, do not think he has had a touch yet, Cresswell has caught my eye the most thus far

    Just won us a free kick on the edge of their box.

    Okay, but up until then……….

    We keep playing ourselves into trouble by going backwards.

    Alvarez in the book.

    Water is wet. =)
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Whilst falling short of simulation, Soucek was certainly guilty of the theatrical but at least he got himself into the box and presented himself as a target

    Not a great game.

    Annoying to watch Bournemouth play with no strikers then watching this and thinking why can't we even play half as good as that.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    AWB mis-judges a ball to him but makes the recovery tackle well.

    Rodriguez lost it, Kilman headed it away, Alvarez failed to control it and left it to Kilman who looked off balance.

    You can tell Palace watched the Fulham game, all these pot shots from 20 - 30 yards out hoping for a Fabianski flap.
  • alderzalderz
    Rubbish with the ball so far. I hope he changes things. Soler could make a difference here.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    0-0 HT

    Something has to change in the 2nd half. Only one team looks like scoring.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    We have parked the bus at home to Crystal Palace, which is not a good look, but I guess may be understandable with our injury list, it does however allow a lot of pressure upon us. If we have any ambition for the three points we will need push Soucek up or get Soler on, as we already have a five man defence and two DM.s meaning when we break we don't have enough threat to concern the Palace defence. I understand why but even so this is incredibly defensive for a game at home against a side below us.

    It certainly hasn't been a great watch. Palace have had more of the ball and a few half chances, we've offered little going forward, but hey, it's 0-0, let's hope we improve in the 2nd half....

    Toothless in attack, static midfield and creating nothing. How ling before Alvarez in sent off. Need a change of formation and players, especially in attack.
