Now some see this as a huge game and in a way it is, however like i said in the other matchday thread, i don't mind us bottling the rest of our fixtures as long as we smash Valencia and those chav bastards or frankfurt in the Europa.

Our f**k up vs palace just proves overall our squad aint that good and we have so very poor quality players who cannot be relied upon who we must ship out next summer.

Regarding this match, it really comes down to whos fit in the midfield and Sokratis is back from suspension right???

Emery needs to bench Mustafi and play a flat 4. Obviously our problem is the link play between midfield and the strikers. There is no one in midfield running the show in the middle ala Cazorla.

* If fit.

Go all out. Rest players against Leicester for the EL game. EL is now the priority. Soz.

This has become a must win, and sadly, I don’t think we’re up to it.

WE desperately need to sort out/upgrade the full backs in the summer. On both sides. Monrael is 33 years old so won't get any better.

AMN and Kolasinac can’t play LB/ RB in a back four,

Kolasinac is actually a good example. Good wing back, poor full back. Same Goes for AMN.

If we are calling AMN and Kolasinac defenders no wonder we worry about our defence. AMN is a midfielder(Not a great one) playing out of position at the back. Kolasinac is far better going forward he's similar to Alonso.

Massive game and one we'll need to be lucky to win.
We're big underdogs.

No need to rest any players. 3 games a week is fine - most players could even do 4 without too much difficulty. It takes 24hrs to recover from a 90 minute match.

Anyone believe this team can go to wolves and win? I mean our whole season will depend on it and i take a draw right now

A draw would be a great result if not for the fact we stuffed up at home today against Palace.
A win is possible but in the same way as a giant killing in the FA Cup is possible. It's just not likely.

If we have clowns like Mustafi or Mavropanos in defence then it doesn't matter how well we play, those fools cost us 2 goals out of 3.

We shouldn't have to play our first 11 to make sure we don't gift goals but there it is unfortunately.

This is why we have to keep two avenues to the CL open, so many clowns so little time to fk it all up.

Our first 11 definitely needs a competent supporting cast next season.

Must win. The silver lining is Sokratis will be back, so we shouldn't have to put up with Mustafi.

Not confident we'll get all 3 points though.

Can't see us doing the job here
