Looks like a game for the rejects and our injury prone left backs.

How did Flashscore get the final score and why couldn't they show this live? Anything to do with TV rights?

I got laughed at for saying we should have played the ressies and kids in Europa. I said this would be the effect. No pre season and no proper prep time. Palace will be so much fitter and better prepared next week than us. Could easily drop points.

Definitely if we start with the same lineup.

Can't say I'm surprised... Our backups are not fit to tie Bentekes laces. Let's hope Ed saw the game

Ffs Phil Jones looks to have picked up a bad injury tripping over the Camera which isn’t there.

Rumour is Ole left at halftime with Phelan in charge for the 2nd half. Urgent transfer business?

What an absolute mess this thread is, joke that the mods let this sh*tshow continue.

Would be nice to get an actual update on how the game went from the clubs main feckin forum.

Think that was the point they were making as nobody could find much out.

Yeah but then surely this was the right approach considering we went for the win in Europa. Keep training with the first team and getting them fit instead of putting them out there for this

Funny thing is that wasn't far off our starting line up last year at times!

Looks like only really 2/3 of those would have a chance of starting at the weekend so not too worried.

Some of the jokes were so poor that you couldn’t tell whether someone was trying to be funny. Rather the thread have 10 posts but with some sense of what went on or when we’ll have information.

We could have brought the senior players back earlier had we rested them in Europa. Could have had 2 or 3 friendlies by now too.
Instead we went to win it, didn't even get to the final and its just caused the start of the season for us to be an absolute shambles like I said it would.

Half our starting team next weekend won't have played a game since Sevilla. Palace will be licking their lips.
