I'll take a comfortable 0-1 if that's OK. A deflection off Sarr's arse preferably..Anything to keep the word "contender" off Merson's lips until April.bissouma must get through this without a booking! a statement win here would be lovely! a nice 0-4 or something. target ward, hes a weak link among weak links for them lol.
chelsea
wolves
villa
then the biggest test well have all season..... we need to win the next 4! villa also going to be a fucing tough game! ideally bissouma picks up a yellow late on against chelsea and misses wolves. we need him badly for villa and city
Pardon my ignorance butMomentum is huge in football and we have to keep this going. It’s a London derby so it’ll be a tough game regardless.
Biss is one yellow away from another suspension but I feel he needs to play. Best behaviour.
0-2 Spurs and we go into the weekend 5 points clear at the top!
Pardon my ignorance but
I was under the impression that prior to the Luton game Bissouma was one yellow away from a one match suspension (5 in total?)
He got that with his first yellow in the game
The second yellow earned him another match suspension for being a sending off.
Is that incorrect?
I would bring in Bissouma for Sarr and Brennan Johnson for Richarlison.
Palace are a pretty poor side, we need to be winning this.
OK - good news, but still under the sword.Second yellow making it a red cancelled it out. Meaning he got a game suspension for the red but still on 4 yellows and remains one away from another suspension.

Biss will start. We can’t not play him.This will not be an easy game, Palace at home is a tricky fixture at the best of times so the place will be rocking on a Friday night, we cant afford to waste so many chances like we did yesterday! Richie was good on the left and created a lot but he needs to be at least hitting the target when he has a goal scoring opportunity , Brennan will be chomping at the bit to make that position his, hopefully the pressure of his place can finally help Richie get that goal he is needing, if not your on the bench from 60 minutes and Brennan gets the start next game!
Hojberg played great yesterday so I'd actually be tempted to keep it the same for Palace and have Biss fresh for the Chavs!
Maybe its a bit early still but hopefully next month we should be seeing Bentancaur back on the bench which will be a huge boost!
I always said 7 points from these 3 games would be title winning form , we have 3 so 4 left to get , lets get a win Friday and we can really start to dream!
