Match Thread EFL Cup Palace (H) - Wed 19:45 29th October

[Fabio]

I'm hoping 2 highly mobile, highly eager wingers, alongside a more defensively minded midfield 3 might help our shape.

 

[Fabio]

Rio needs to start more games. He's everything gakpo isn't.

Play him on the right so we have pace and direct play on the right again

 

[Fabio]

City losing against Swansea
Chelsea winning against wolves

 

[darkstarexodus]

This is easily our best performance of the season so far.

 

[Squiggles]

We look pretty good all things considered.

 

[Fabio]

Macca being prime Jones there and not advancing the ball when the chance was there

 

[Fabio]

Id like us to have a shot before I start sucking off this performance

 

[Fabio]

That effort looked shite from Rio. Then it did mad levels of curve so it looked alright.

 

[keniget]

Ramsay still looks classy. Shame about all the injuries.

 

[Fabio]

Chelsea 2 up now

 

[Fabio]

Ramsay still looks classy. Shame about all the injuries.

Be nice if he was over them. Could do with another rb

 

[Halmeister]

The game has sort of settled into the pattern you'd expect given the lineups.

 

[Fabio]

Chiesa needs to slot that.

Good strength though

 

[Fabio]

Rio took a knock. Should be fine though

 

[Halmeister]

Why has the ref stopped it? Only a head injury

 

[rubans]

Ramsay still looks classy. Shame about all the injuries.

It is, he looked great initially prior to injuries.

 

[Fabio]

Rio again creating chances. Bit slow in releasing chiesa, but still good

 

[Dreambeliever]

A) this is what @Dreambeliever asked for - so we're winning the next league game.

B) I hope the kids do great ... might as well let players who will give 100% and fight for every ball a go

It’s exactly what we should have done imo.

 

[Fabio]

Woodman tested, strong catch. Then sets chiesa away, who got fuck all help

 

[Fabio]

We defended a long throw!

Start this team at the weekend!

 

[Fabio]

Chiesa is so fucking clever

 

[Modo]

FFS Rio, let go of the ball

 

[Red Mullet]

Have we been lucky?

 

[Woland]

Three left backs was always the plan

 

[Sculptorini]

A lot of sharp forward passing tonight. Not quite coming off but good to see.

 

[Modo]

Game over

 

[Fabio]

And there we go. Normality restored

 

[Fabio]

Robbo chasing the ball like a lost puppy

 

[Halmeister]

That cunt scores against every time he plays us

 

[Farkmaster]

Gomez doesn't look great there.
