You forget, Crystal Palace don't need a good team. They seem to sustain themselves predominantly by luck, muddling through and fairly-awarded penalties.

The squads need to be managed. They’ve got an old never quite was and we’ve got a young maybe will.

He’ll be half the player with VAR this season!

Their squad list in uninspiring. We'll be very close to each other this season. (quite near the bottom probably)

You have missed out Tompkins. ( who IMHO with Sakho are a great center back pairing)

Who could forget Tomkins.

Absolutely useless to the point that it was "I just spat beer out" last season.

Oh and Sakho (£100k+ a week) is also hilariously shite.

Nice that you have faith in your players though. Wow.

We still have no creative, game changing talisman like they do in Zaha but perhaps a stronger all round team and squad. It’s more about the 1st 11 though, again we’ve a point to prove here that only time will tell.

Trossard maybe? Not only does he look to beat his man, his linkup play looks top class and his passing ability looks up there with Gross. I was massively impressed from the little I've seen.

Even more hilarious considering Dunk + Duffy combined are on 90k ish a week

Let’s hope he is, high time we had someone to rival Zaha.

Objectively, as we have the more interesting manager we'll go 3-5-2

Ryan

Cahill, Duffy, Dunk

Montoya Van Aanholt

Propper Milivojevic

Trossard Zaha
Murray

2 premier league squads and not one half decent RB between us.

Here we go again, Brighton fans getting giddy about spending £20 mill fees on inexperienced players, laughing at tin pot Palace, and predicting that this is the season we finally finish above the SCUM !

You all know how this pans out.

No doubting Palace have some real quality and experience but it looks like a very unbalanced squad. If they can motivate Zaha and/or get a striker scoring more frequently they should be ok. A couple of injuries or suspensions would hurt them much more than us, especially when you consider this could be our 2nd choice 11:

Button
Greyhound
Burn
Baluta
Bernardo
Bong
Mooy
Alzate
AJ
Andone
Connolly

To be fair, I couldn't see that team winning a point all season if we played them.

They will finish above us I am sure, but my Palace supporting mates are very worried about full back positions where they are very light and who will put the ball in the net.

I'd take beating you twice again and you finish above us, as long as we stay up [emoji106]
