Pre Match Pre Match - Palace - (Anfield South) - Sunday - 15:00

[Brizzle]

Here we go, back to footy. Kind of a friendly (as we don’t recognise it on the Champions Wall) but I’d love to win it all the same.

I’d start same team that started the second fixture today except Virg in for Endo. Will be interesting to see if Macca earns his spot back, but nice to have 3 great players vying for those 2 CM spots.

Marmadash (still deputising for Ali who needs time off)

Frimpong
Konate
Virgil
Kerkez

Gravy
Szobo

Salah
Wirtz
Gakpo

Ekitike

Palace have looked good in pre season, Mateta & Eze will test our defence out for sure.

 

[Frogfish]

Still looking for a ticket if anyone knows a reliable source! Anyone going?

 

[Frogfish]

I can see Macca starting, a better defender than Szobo. But Damn it's tough to get into that midfield now.

Rio over Gakpo?!?!!

Rio over Gakpo?!?!!

Charity shield is like another Friendly. If it was first game of the season, I'd have it reversed.

Grav is serving a ban at the start of the season, so should be a sub for this…got to start whoever is standing in for him at the 6 (Macca?) 5 days before the big first game.

Some difference that between the Palace end and the Liverpool end.

 

[WheresMeTea]

Same starting 11 as the 2nd game yesterday for obvious reasons.

 

[Modo]

Is this the first time we don't have an English player among our guaranteed starters?

5-1 to put the shits up everyone else in the PL !

Gravy is suspended from Bournemouth fixture right? Not this one? Surely we play him if he's fit? Can understand the logic that we start the team that would play against Bournemouth - but where are these Jones shouts coming from? Is Szobo injured?!

I think this one counts as his one match suspension. And damn yeah I'd forgotten Szobo - amended pronto !!!

 

[Squiggles]

Yep, best to prep for opening week without Grav and then bring him off the bench to rest legs. Ideally VVD and Ali are back.

---------------Ekitike--

Macca is getting his minutes heavily managed, so I wouldn't be amazed to Jones finding his way in there, but lets see.

 

[Brizzle]

I really hope Rio gets a spot on the bench. What a way to start the season it would be for him to get 10/15 mins at Wembley and get a run at some of the Palace full backs.

Due to injuries he'll definitely have a spot on the bench, but it'll be more tricky when everyone is back and we sign Isak.
