Lucas 3,827 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 That time already eh. I think it's got to be a home game to kick off the season in front of a packed crowd. Our players would absolutely buzz off that as we missed it last year. Happily take on any of the bigger clubs early when there is no form. Catch them cold hopefully, because we have been generally fast starters under Bielsa. We'll be fit and chomping at the bit. For that reason, I really don't think they would want to come here first game. Can only imagine how exciting it'll be for @Danny seeing the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, City etc amongst the fixtures for the very first time.

I’m sure you was a member of the forum back then But no, if I were to do the same again it would have to be another Premier League to League 1 “swap” like last time.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted June 14, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted June 14, 2021 Our last three will be Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City. No idea what order. Our run of hard finishes is borderline suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Last two years we've had pretty shocking run ins after a pretty dreamy spell in February. I can't see that happening for a third year but it's helped cement Roy Hodgson with a reputation of 'safe after 30 games'. Opening Fixture: Aston Villa Boxing Day: Wolves New Years Day: Everton Brighton Bingo: November and February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike 3,009 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Not a bad start, could be worse. That Christmas period will be tough. Leeds on Boxing Day followed by Leicester and Chelsea away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Our first 6 to 9 games look horrible. May as well get a dud appointment now to allow the real deal to take over after October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Well, fuck me. What a start. I did think they would give us a big game, although not that one. No way that came out random Let's just hope away fans are allowed in as well as home in time. The fixture deserves it's audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, it's the best time for us to play them really. They have more players than us at the Euro's, they will need extended breaks andyou'd like to think eill be missing sharpness. Where as you know the way Marcelo runs us ragged in the summer, we'll not be far off the level we need to be at by the time the game comes round.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Looking at the league games Mane and Salah will miss for the Africa Cup of Nations next year. They'll miss Brentford (h) and Crystal Palace (a) in January and they'll only miss Leicester at home if they reach the final. Could be worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
