Yeah, this fixture has come a bit early for us to be much of a threat to them. Especially at their place.

Question marks over Colwill and his form, but I still think Alonso plays him. Martinez Fofana Lacroix Colwill Neto James Lavia Chavarria Palmer Rogers Pedro

Last time we beat them was in 2021, so we're overdue for a win.

We were absolutely not in control. With the midfield we had there was simply no way we could be in complete control, I think. So we went for chaos instead, and ended up outscoring them. Chaos is really fun, at least as long as we end up winning :)

Someone mentioned this in another thread, but it’s hard to believe Alonso’s influence alone is responsible for undoing four years of errors in a matter of weeks. There has to be more at play behind the scenes.

Don't worry, apparently it's off now - according to another Twitter account.

Never Chelsea level player, no surprise that we signed him from a mid table club and we became a mid table club. Wish him well as he takes them into a relegation battle.

Defensively we're all over the place still. So I expect a loss, until we can get that sorted.

I can't speak to your analogy but Bayern is obviously no real test of a manager's capabilities.

You'd assume that LCB spot is his at Palace.

Seems the Kone deal is £52m + year long loan deal for Gittens to Roma. Worry is his injury history, and Serie A is an awful league presently.

Yup. Would snatch your hand for a draw. Feel like this is our toughest game of the season, and our squad hasn't fully gelled yet.

Vincent Kompany winning the league with Bayern is the equivalent to losing your virginity with a prostitute. He's the same level as Lampard at best.

Not sure we were in control though, we conceded a lot goals and a lot of chances. Is the way we play the last two games ideal? Maybe not but I don't care. I just want to see fun football. The only thing I was worried about 343 especially with no Europe is minutes for other attackers.

Rather have Camara than Kone. Kone looks like he’s playing in Timberland’s

‘Too much too young.’ The Specials.

Never been a massive fan of Neto but attacking wise, Alonso does seem to be getting the best out of him. I won't be too upset if he does leave, but happy for him to stay as a handy squad player and 100% prefer to see him playing over Gusto.

I don’t wish to tie myself down to a specific one

Absolutely. I do think the idea that "lots of possession=control" is about to be challenged, though

Trev when he arrives at the training ground, only to see Sanchez........................

And now confirmed. Best of luck Marc !
