kg did have one of the best games i have seen him play but i would bring chamack back i would put ledly inkg place . chamack wins so meny headers and we need to go for the win when we are up aginst the likes of cardiff

The same game plan? Funny. I thought Palace were going to play a team at the bottom away, not the team at the top at home! I think Palace really should adopt the apt tactics for the game they're playing and the side they are up against. Think about it TP!

You don't think Cardiff will be clever and hold back, inviting Palace forward and exploiting the resulting gaps. With speedy players like Zaha and Bellingham up front, I would. After all, they must know Palace need to win as much as them. Or do Palace fall back to their old, misdirected ways of defending negatively and do a Newcastle etc?

We need to play against Cardiff like we did at selhurst , defend well , and attack when we can , if we do this again I'm confident of a win . They were one of the worst teams to come to selhurst this season so lets go the same way about it on Saturday
COYP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree very much with this. Firstly I don't think Cardiff have the ability to hold back and defend in the way that we do. If they did, that would suit us just fine. As has been pointed out, it is make or break to some extent for them and the pressure is more on them than us, especially being at home.

We do not need to win this match. For Cardiff its must win, for us its must not lose. I would happily take a point from this game. That would leave Cardiff with just a handful of games from which to close a growing gap between us and them.

My main worry is that Cardiff are actually fairly good going forward and do seem to be scoring a lot of goals recently. I could well see us conceding at some point. Thankfully Cardiff do not seem to know how to defend but we are not renowned for our goalscoring exploits so I predict a close game lacking in quality.

One advantage of having TP at the helm is that his gameplan changes only slightly from game to game. It doesn't matter if we're playing Chelsea H or Cardiff A. We have low ball possession and a hardworking compact team that opens wide during counter attacks. I expect (and want) us to do exactly what we did all season with TP against Cardiff.

Same team, same tactics, hopefully the same outcome.

It's not like he can tell the team to park the bus more than we normally do, so I don't anticipate any dangerous shifts in mentality which will invite Cardiff more than we normally invite other teams.
