Very good City away performance. I read some of the stuff on here before half time but i have to disagree. Even in the first half, the team worked soooo hard it didn't even look like the City we know. Everytime we lost the ball, we got back into position, it was superb work from all the team, especially SWP, Barry and Ireland. They got a few chances with Sears's world class movement (Henry-like) because of the lack of communication between Toure and Lescott, but you can understand that. Lescott has been thrown in at the deep end, without hardly knowing his team mates. Both defenders did well tonight, looked very good. The whole team worked for each other. The strikeforce is deadly, and SWP was immense. He played like the old SWP, who beat 4 and 5 players nearly every run he made. He was outstanding, and his work rate was brilliant. Robinho was good to watch, Adebayor played decent, Barry was very good (off the ball mainly, super buy), Ireland's passing was superb.
We'd have been out of site by half time, if that stupid fat twat of a linesman knew how to do his job properly.
I don't get all the negativity. Normally under that pressure, constant closing down type of game Palace played tonight, we crumble. We did it sooo many times last season. Tonight we weren't typical City, we scrapped. I'm telling you now, away from home if we keep doing that and playing with that sort of intensity we will win alot more games than we will lose on the road.
Pleased with the result, and performance.
