    Suggested Team and Formation For: Man Utd (away)

    -------------------------Hennessey--------------------------
    AWB----------Tomkins-------------Sakho--------------PVA
    Townsend----Kouyate-----------Milivojevic----------Schlupp
    ----------------Sorloth---------------Zaha--------------------

    Subs:

    Guaita
    Kelly
    Ward
    McArthur
    Puncheon
    Meyer
    Ayew

    1) Sorloth must start. he deserves a run of games to see if he can score. The team plays better with him as a focal point. We've spent £9m on him, we may as well give him a chance. He's raw, but if he gets a goal his confidence will soar. He's 6'4", he's a handful, and left footed which suits a strike partner for Wilf.

    2) I'd play Ayew wide left mid. That's where he played for Swansea and did well. He works very hard for the team. But Roy will go for Schlupp

    3) This game is a free hit because we are not expected to win, but we must have a chance if we can perform to our best - Man Utd are nothing special, and AWB will nullify Martial. COYP

    Agree with point 1 GF - Sorloth has to start. We have no better options at the moment so let's see what he can do.

    On 2, you know Roy - he is too boring to play that midfield. He'll go with the seemingly undroppable McArthur, who's barely had a good game all season, and he'll probably reintroduce Schlupp. We'll lose 2 or 3-0 as a result. I would play Townsend on the right and Meyer on the left.

    On 3, we keep saying these are free hits but then we don't get points against the shit teams. Wolves got a great point against Arsenal yesterday when many on here would have said that was a guaranteed defeat for us. United aren't in good shape. If Roy approaches it more positively then we may cause a surprise.

      Soloth will get crowded out by players at Man. Utd. who are just as tall if not taller than him.

      vs. City yesterday United had the following players who were as tall if not taller than him: Smalling, Fellaini, Matic and Lukaku on the bench.

      Given the fact that he has not yet scored a league goal for us I would not have him anywhere near the starting XI.

      For me:

      --------------------Hennessey--------------------

      Wan-Bissaka---Tomkins---Sakho---van Aanholt

      -----------Milivojević-----------Kouyaté-----------

      ------------------------Meyer-----------------------

      Townsend---------------Zaha----------------Ayew

      Attack with pace when we counter, tell Townsend and Ayew to track back and give Wilf a free role.
      Here's Andy Johnson He's More Than Capable... Of Scoring
      And He Very Nearly Did.....
      And Neil Shipperley has!!!

        And then you pick Ayew?

            Suggests an even stronger reason to have Sorloth on the pitch particularly defending set pieces.

            In an ideal world Sorloth wouldn't be going away for international break and we could work with him over the next few days and build him up.

            I'd like him to play against United.
            "Every time a new player comes to the club I always try to make them understand what it means to play for Crystal Palace. It's a place unlike other clubs, the fans they're just incredible and I want them to understand that. It's part of my job as a senior player to make sure they know what it is and the passion behind it." - Speroni

                .
                I see what you mean but that's actually the reason I would consider playing sorloth in this one. I hope he does get crowded out by utd defenders. That's what we've missed!

                He isn't paticualy effective in the air anyway so it doesn't really matter who's defending that, just that someone is.

                That's what we've missed. We've had no-one to cross to or go long to, teams know that and so we become predictable. Cut passing lanes, crowd the area and we can't find the final ball. Invariably we over play and give the ball away.

                If utd are defending against sorloth the aerial threat then wold, Townsed, pva, Jimmy, meyer.. whoever is playing get space to play in. We will find that final ball like we did with benteke. Scoring the chances is another thing but we might create a bit more.

                My worry about sorloth is we destroy him like we did benteke by sending him on an extended non scoring run. He's not ready, ayew is a better player but sorloth might change the way utd defend.

                  Can't wait for this superstar Benteke to come back. He gets better every week he's out.

                        It’s a difficult team selection, even without the possibility that some may pick up knocks on international duty. Ideally you’d want to drop Meyer and Ayew given their poor performances, and give others a go. But it’s Man Utd away, hardly a place where you can expect players to come in and hit the ground running.

                        Despite that;

                        Hennessy

                        AWB
                        Tomkins(if fit), Kelly if not
                        Sakho
                        PVA

                        Luka
                        Kouyaté

                        McArthur

                        Townsend
                        Sørloth
                        Zaha

                              We didn’t help

                              He was a player who needed to be taken out of the firing line. Any other club benches a player in a rut to take the pressure off. Week after week we left him alone to face his demon safe in the knowledge we had no alternative. In addition he was playing with an injury the whole time.

                              Having all that time without signing another forward has destroyed him mentally and as it turns out not helped physically.

                              Not making any excuses for him. The club really didn’t help though. Keep sending someone to do a job they aren’t able to do (beit physical or mental reasons) they will repeatedly fail. That exacerbates the problem immeasurably

                              Does sorloth have the mental stregth to cope if he goes say 20 games without scoring?

                                He’s decent except scoring goals.

                                If we had someone that can score goals other than him then great. Without him we are scoring even less so better to have few goals from him and play well as a team than no goals without him and not look like scoring from anyone.

                                I’m not saying don’t sign anyone. We are ******* DESPERATE for that. We can’t until January and are better with him than without. I’m being realistic about our best option, not expecting miracles

                                  Zaha Sorloth Ayew

                                  That's what I would do - then if the ref spots we have 12 players on the pitch I would take off Ayew.

                                    We didn't score goals when he was in the team and he's scored something like 3 in his last 45 games (I think). He's unlikely to be the answer all of a sudden. But our striker options are so bad at the moment that even a woefully out of form Benteke is better than what we currently have. Sad and worrying times.

                                      See also Souare and Wickham. Being injured is a good move if you want to be rated highly by Palace fans.

                                        Meyer and Sorloth have both looked better coming off the bench than when they have started.

                                        People also (rightly) complain that we don't make subs that change the game.

                                        On that basis, I'd have them both on the bench. Which probably means going back to the team that started against Arsenal.
