Crystal Palace (a) build up

[Shaggy]

It's a week away but I can't wait, so **** it.

What we gonna do with the team? No one deserves to be left out but I'm sure there'll be changes (pretty much every week). I think Gini might be most vulnerable, despite a great performance. He's only little, and they might be pumping balls up to Big **** Chris. VVD should cope with him fine but extra height in front won't do any harm. Henderson (6'1) could come in, but even though Fabinho looks as though he might take time to adapt, his aerial prowess might swing it for him?

Never really regarded Henderson as being all that great in the air tbh and think Palace will try to use pace on the counter more than brawn against us.

Think I would be tempted to stick with the same team as there is a full week until the game so plenty of time for players to train and rest. Basically reward good performances with another start.


When games start to run closer together we can look at some rotation to keep legs fresh.

Wijnaldum, Milner, and Keita would bring plenty of hustle and closing down in the centre and that is one thing needed against teams like Palace.

Defo not Fabinho, maybe Henderson. Unchanged for me. Thought the midfield was nicely balanced.

Assembled a decent little squad Palace. Should be a decent game.

I think Klopp has to rotate a little between matches, we have such a good squad that we have to have a little movement between games. I'd have thought Gini for Henderson, Hendo needs at least an hour here IMO. Very hard to make a case for any of the front three, or the back for, to be rotated.

3 games before international break. Plenty of rest between them. Full strength, no rotation for me.

After the break the CL and league cup kicks in will be time to rotate to keep the legs fresh.

I think he'll rotate one player, I think it's not great being part of a big squad and see an unchanged lineup.

FFS! Same time every cunting year I remember how much I detest the international calendar.

Anything to knock points off Utd.

Palace away is tricky, hostile atmosphere. Awkward game but very interested to see hpw we go about it after that blitz yesterday.

[Corndog]

No changes. Gini doesn't deserved to be dropped. Maybe a chance of Henderson coming in but I don't think Fabinho should start - bring him on for 20-30 minutes if the team is 2 goals ahead and ease him in.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I can see Henderson coming in, either for Gini or Milner, but the squad's in good shape and regardless of how tough a test Palace will be, its nice to have complete confidence in everyone involved

[Big-Red-Ed]

I can see Henderson in for Gini. Otherwise the same.

Milner has to play, assist king! Keita. /

But Palace will be resilient and we'll need Hendo's craft with the ball (whipped crosses) to provide additional creativity. So Weeji can sit this one out.

[Norbs]

Hendo does that about once a month, it's not a reason to bring him in. His build up play is too conservative when up against a team prepared to sit deep. We need a midfield with better movement and the ability to drive forward
