Looks like we will be seeing strongest side, bring it on 👍
Glasner playing the academy kids in the main.

Palace losing 1-2

Kups had a defender sent off in the 73rd minute.

Finished 2-2, no automatic qualification for the next stage, play-off required over 2 legs.

Glasner was very canny when he said that Leeds knew the team he would put out, for a team that was reportedly his reserve team they looked pretty good last night but I’d expect a lot of changes tomorrow.

Kups showed Glasner what happens when you don’t field your best selection.
Expect to see his best available 11.

Hope we bring massive intensity.

Had to bring on four subs from the bench to salvage the game, could quite easily have lost.

Farke, DCL & Noah

Palace are the top side away from home in the EPL.

Played 8
Won 5 (Villa, Wolves West Ham, Fulham, Burnley)
Drew 1 (Chelsea)
Lost 2 (Arsenal 1-0 and Everton 2-1)
Scored 11
Conceded 5

That's mightily impressive and evidence that they are consistent in dispatching bottom of the table teams away from home.

But, I still fancy us to beat them.

Glasner has gone full Bielsa and named his side (provided no late injuries)

Dean Henderson, Marc Guéhi, Lacroix, Richards, Mitchell, Hughes, Wharton, Clyne, Pino, Nketiah, Mateta."

Back 3 and front 2.

Calvert Lewin - One of the best strikers in the Premiership but he’s held together by chewing gum, super glue & pieces of string. If Tommy Tuch is crazy enough to pick him for England please leave him on the bench so he doesn’t get injured.

Joel Piroe - A world class, outstanding finisher but I don’t want to play him unless we’re 4-0 up or 4-0 down, I still want him to know I’m thinking about him though.

January exits - Please don’t sell anyone, please, pretty please.

Loan market - The owners have told me we have no money so suck it up.

Team News - Dan is crocked, Longstaff is watching his chances of getting back in the team fading by the day, Nmecha is out again but I’m still thinking of Piroe.

Perri distribution - We’ve been in touch with the surgeons who’ve advised us he needs a double foot transplant, Meslier is on standby.

Using AI - I’m in touch with Cjay every day.
In touch with CJ every day :shock: You lead a sad life :)

Despite Palace playing all these games its going to still be a very tough game. Best time to play Palace is later in the season when fatigue will really kick in.
Could really do with winning this game, but maybe a point wouldn't be so bad if other results go our way. Here's hoping :scar1

They will know all about how our defenders are prone to loose passes across the back when being pressed. Rodon and Strujk have been particularly guilty of this recently.

What he means is that he hopes Okafor will be the second forward....
