Pretty much.

FrankDrebin · Nov 30, 2025

You'd have to say Palace would be disappointed in not getting a result against us today.

FrankDrebin · Nov 30, 2025

6 defensive players on the bench and that's without including the GK.

SuperiorXI · Nov 30, 2025

Why do we need 5 defenders on the bench? Are there no attack minded academy players he could bring?

StuCol · Nov 30, 2025

We’re not scoring today

Jaap · Nov 30, 2025

That bench looks ridiculous. If we need to throw the kitchen sink at them, I hope he brings on Lacey.

groovyalbert · Nov 30, 2025

We have absolutely nothing on the bench to turn to if we are struggling

Mike Smalling · Nov 30, 2025

Zirkzee starting is crazy to me. Then again, the alternative would probably be Dalot and Dorgu on WBs, Amad at CAM, and some false nine situation.

Two injuries and we’re basically back to last season.

Hammondo · Nov 30, 2025

Christ Zirkzee again. Such a thin squad.

DOTA · Nov 30, 2025

It's really not a great squad we're working with.

DJ_21 · Nov 30, 2025

Diallo and Mbuemo back on the right together gives a little more confidence. Zirkzee is awful though

Hans Wurst · Nov 30, 2025

Good lineup with the injuries we have. I just can't warm to Zirkzee in CF though...

Hester_manc · Nov 30, 2025

Looking at the line-ups I actually think that Crystal Palace look stronger than us and have better players in most positions.

LittleP14 · Nov 30, 2025

Wonder why Obi isn’t in the frame for atleast the bench?

He wasn’t at the Solihull Moors game the other night either so I assumed he may have been in contention for this.

We usually have 6 defensive outfield players in the starting XI

Wouldn't it be worth having Chido or another forward on the bench. I know Chido not nearly ready for a full game yet, but if we are chasing a goal with 5 minutes to go he would be better then most on that bench.

Godawful.
Wholeheartedly agree with the rest as well. Amad and Mbeumo are so so good together. Hopefully we'll have enough today!

Chip · Nov 30, 2025

As long as he refuses to try a different formation, I guess this is the best we can do with our current options.

At least Dorgu and Mazraoui are out of line-up.

Come on you guys know the drill. We’re going to get a result against Palace tomorrow (most likely a draw) and the 4 Amorim defenders will gloat, newbies will post overly positive paragraphs about turning things around and we’ll lose to wolves next week.

You forgot to add that Caff veterans will remain sour regardless the result

Hester_manc · Nov 30, 2025

Our bench today: 6 defending players and a keeper on the bench (counting Ugarte as defensive midfielder). 1 central midfielder and a youth player as our only attacking player.

JoeyJoJoJrShabadoo · Nov 30, 2025

Amorim was heralded as someone who relied on youth and he is so disinterested in our U18s and U21s it baffles me

Haha was just looking at this. Joke really.

McGrathsipan · Nov 30, 2025

Zirkzee to provide a master class in 5 aside football technique today. He's never where a centre forward is meant to be.

Mateta will fill his boots today. We'll be behind within 10 mins.

Proper cowardly shitbag maneuver

Not Zirkzee again man. I’m tired.

3-0 Palace.

Says more about the makeup of the squad than of amorim tbf.

Disgusting bench. He should be calling up more U23 attacking players.

Gazautd18 · Nov 30, 2025

Trust the process...

V.O. · Nov 30, 2025

We need to play with some actual intensity and it's pretty difficult to see Zirkzee providing it. Unfortunately there aren't really any other options.

IrishRedDevil · Nov 30, 2025

Scary bench

Case
Bruno

Mount
Zirkzee
Mbeumo

Probably as strong as we can go right now.

Thanks. Reading the official line up is so bloody frustrating. How hard is it for them to do! Especially as his formation NEVER changes.

Go on, using a different formation what line up would you produce with the currently available players? I'm having a go in my head here and not really getting anything that looks much better.

Yeh this will be one of those "dark moments" performances. I fear it will be an ugly one. My only sliver of hope is that they played on Thursday night.

Gazautd18 · Nov 30, 2025

Palace have never won after a European match.
Enter Manchester United!

PlayerOne · Nov 30, 2025

Why has Amorim dropped Heaven? Better than Shaw, and we get something long-term.

I will never understand Amorim's hate for young players

Banana Republic · Nov 30, 2025

This will be a tough watch, barring a miracle turnaround in our fortunes today….which isn’t likely to happen to happen !

ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg · Nov 30, 2025

Dream bench for Amorim. He can replace the entire back 5 with another back 5 of defenders.

FrankDrebin · Nov 30, 2025

I'm clinging onto the fact that Zirkzee did get a little more involved in the later stages of our game on Monday night.

Yeah, I know..

McGrathsipan · Nov 30, 2025

I've just put a few bets on Palace.
May as well get some profit from the .misery
