Hodgson's revised team sheet for the game:

Henderson

Clyne Andersen Richards Mateta Tomkins Mitchell

Ayew Hughes Lerma Schlupp

I don’t disagree. I hope he drops the Eza position behind Mateta by not playing Franca. We need to be solid which we haven’t been in midfield since trying to accommodate Eza. We need a solid middle 3 of Lerma, Wharton and Hughes with Ayew and Schlupp either side protecting the two full backs. If Ward is fit, I would play Munoz in front of him and Ayew on the left. That way, we may go back to the Hodgson goes for a draw setup and at best a 0:0 and not get stuffed. Last night was Chelsea’s best game in a long while, let’s hope they go back to being not so good :-)

I want us to win or draw, but if we lose i hope it is 7-0, action is needed quickly

Any opponent will have cottoned on by now that the easiest way to get three points from us is to score early on and that we can't defend a corner.

Chelsea will just repeat the scintillating display of football they demonstrated last night against AV. If they are feeling kind, it's 3-0 to Chelsea.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Will be:

Johnson
Munuoz, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell
Franca, Wharton, Lerma, Ayew
Mateta

Seems like every time I think we will easily win we lose.

When I think the season is done, I look into the abyss in a season we pull out something (win or tie).

I'm going for a 1-0 Palace win.
