[Football] Selhurst showdown!!

TypicalPalace said:

He is very effective in what he does, top of the charts in interceptions. Breaks down play very well. Personally I wouldn’t want to play two similar types in Luka and Cabaye. Luka for me is the better player. Your right we should but that’s the premier league. On paper we have a far better first 11 imo. However games aren’t won on paper.

I think the opposite.
After 1 point out of 6, you still need a point or two to be safe, so CH will surely go for the draw.
Now, if we win, we’re 1 point behind you, and I can’t see you getting another point.
It’s been a shit season from day one, and I can’t wait for it to be over, hopefully PL status secured.

This game should define our season. I doubt that Chris will see it that way because...well, he's Chris.

Overall Palace are better than us but they've been hobbled by injury and some dreadful flukes and mistakes. If we can get a result at Selhurst I will be both surprised and ecstatic. We can win, we have a great squad of real tryers and lads who really do play for the shirt. It all depends on Chris and whether he goes balls out or holds his cards. I think I know which Brighton we'll see.

I have to say Palace have had some bad luck recently - in 4 of their last 6 matches they've conceded in the last 5 mins - losses to Liverpool, Man U and Spurs, and a draw at Bmuff. If they had held out in each of those games they'd have five more points, and be a point ahead of us. Fingers crossed they carry on in the same vein...

I will never understand the excuse of bad luck when a team loses in the last few minutes. The game is 90
Mins each week. As the Old golfer said’ the harder i work the luckier I get’. Nailed on draw Saturday, and we are a better team than Palace as we have more points and a better goal difference, that’s how the league works I think. If at end of season they have more and finish above us, then they are the better team.

Completely correct about last minute or late goals, Nothing to do with luck, All about concentration and mental attitude.
We have been unlucky with injuries, I think most level headed Seagulls would give us that, 12 out at one point.

Reckon it will be tight Saturday, with you guys trying to play on the counter. Going 1-1 which will suit both teams but us a bit less so.

Yep, I’d agree with all that. I’m going 1-1 too - unless there’s a red before 60 minutes, which is not beyond the realms of possibilities.

I can see the occasion getting to someone too. We haven't had a player sent off for ages, Nobody this season, probably due one!

Hennessy **** up then pulling someone down the box would be my bet from our side

Dunk most likely for a red mist moment for you guys?

Dunky has been the model of control all season. He may mistime the odd difficult challenge, but hopefully his red mist days are behind him. We also hope that Knocky should be on his best behaviour, but to be on the safe side, please don't kick the ball in his face.

Dunk’s self-control has improved immeasurably over the last couple of years. If he plays, Knockaert is far more likely to lose it (again).

Two yellow cards for “simulation” for Zaha more likely I would think.
