140+ years between them.

The managers in the next game are both 70+ years old. That’s quite something!
However, who will be triumphant? It has to be said that Palace are not brilliant at home and if an attacking attitude is adopted from the whistle who knows?? There were 10 attempts I. The last 10 minutes against Fulham because there was an urgency all of a sudden (words fail!!). However, there’s a real urgency from the word “go” this time surely.
I think it’s a Jeckyl and Hyde situation and the score could reflect that: 3 points either way. A draw is simply not good enough.
Assuming the 3 points are favourable, it’s then a mouth-watering ‘cup final’ vs OGS. YOU NEVER KNOW!!!

Palace are much better away from home than they are at home as the recent victory at Arsenal and the fact that they are the only team to win away at Man City this season proves.
They are extremely dangerous on the counter attack and there is a real danger that if we go gung ho from the first whistle that they will just sit back and pick us off on the break - Watford did exactly that when we played them at home and we all remember how that turned out!
At Palace they absolutely battered us for virtually the whole 90 minutes and had 20 odd attempts at goal - it was just one of those days when our goal seemed to have a charmed life.
Still you are right - we just have to go for it right from the start. Might as well lose 5-4 having a real go than playing in our usual fashion and losing 1-0 or 2-0.
Will be really interested to see what team and formation the manager puts out next Saturday especially after admitting he made a mistake with his selection yesterday.

Palace are best away team in league That is nw dilema! Play usual way and negate their counter attack or be more ambitious as only option is to win...

Not sure where you got your data from , but Palace are not the best away team in the Premier League - they have only the 6th best record - but they are far better away than at home , where their record is worse than ours.
