who to play at right back against Zaha Boxing day?

Is Super Kev up to the challenge? Or would Ralls or nugent be a better choice?

Zaha plays right-wing, against Taylor.

But Super Kev will play at right-back, obviously.

he actually plays mostly left wing, check some footage out, bit of both id say

Not this season, Bolasie plays left and Zaha always plays right.

I wish he was playing left though because Kev is far better defensively than Taylor.

and as for it obviously Super Kev, he is not playing the best at the mo, only just come back from injury

I'd play 4-5-1 vs Palace. With Aron in defensive midfield with the role of marking Zaha out of the game.

yeah, i apologize, he is playing a lot down the right, my mistake

gunnarson will play instead of mcnaughton

No chance, McNaughton will come in to the team NQAT.

Mark delaney would put zaha in his pocket play him.

Indeed, no question he will come in and i know he'll do a good job.

Just let Kev stick to his defensive game against Zaha or Bolasie and he'll do a good job.

Mark delaney would put zaha in his pocket play him.

now there was a very good right back

he'll line up the same way but with KM at RB

HAS to be someone with speed

Kev had him in his pocket in the semi-final second leg last year.

He'll be up for the challenge and Zaha knows it

Gotta be Kev for me, shame darcy isnt still around!

I thought blake played could be wrong

Whoever we play at right back will struggle with either Zaha or Bolasie

I thought blake played could be wrong

He did and kept him out of the game

I thought blake played could be wrong

Yeah Blake too but Zara played in a free role during that game if memory serves me right.

mcnaughton was injured

Marshall

Super Kev, Hudson, Turner, Taylor

Gunnarson, Whitts, Mutch, Conway

Bellamy, Helguson

Subs: Noone, Cowie, Gestede, Nugent, Kimbo etc.

Spot on. Im sure they played 4-2-3-1 and the 3 attacking midfielders kept interchanging positions. Zaha was all over the place during that match trying to get an opening.

Was it you who said we should play 4-5-1? Cause I agree although its not nice playing that at home specially when we are playing well with 4-4-2 but we need to be carefull of zaha and Bolasi

Yes that was me. We need to nullify their threats and keep one player on them all game. Savage did it to Taarabt and Derby got a draw out of a Championship winning QPR. Obviously we want the win but to do that we have to make sure Zaha and Bolasi, as you pointed out, do not keep coming at us with wave after wave of attack. Once we stop those we can get the ball to Whittingham and the wings to create. However, I think Malky may opt for a counter attacking setup of 4-4-2 which is risky as they are also very strong on the break.

Really don't see the point in changing our formation because we turned over teams like Blackpool and their attack isn't far off Palaces in terms of speed and danger.

Mark delaney would put zaha in his pocket play him.

now there was a very good right back

Yep and sold for peanuts, i will never forget his goal vs chester city in the fa cup where he run from are corner flag beating everyone to score, think we won 5-1 or 6-1 that day

Can Lappin play right back? Isn't he still with us?

Blake was awesome against Zaha last time out. Shame he's in their team this time!
