Palace(A) Post Match Thread

Sorry but if we’d won them we’d be on for a potential points total of 107, never going to happen. Nothing has harmed us, boys are doing everything, sadly so are the red scousers.

The club that finishes 2nd will likely be on 94 or 95 points. Crazy really

Hopefully 97 points ;)

The good thing about this going all the way is if we win it Liverpool will have lost it with record points (in 90’s)

Come on city just 5 more wins!

 

[rnblade]

And like vermin you are sadly never more than a few yards from one

Very true. I’m forced to sit next to one at work. Stupid Fcuking grin plastered over his grid.

 

[East Level 2]

Shit ground, shit view, great performance.

 

[tonea2003]

almost total control, great performance

liverpool are at full tilt to keep with us

 

[Len Rum]

Professional performance today , controlled the whole game and didnt give Palace a sniff .

Err... apart from the free kick (which was avoidable) that led to their goal which then set up a nervy finish until Gabby sealed it.
We should have been out of sight by then so not quite as professional a performance as I would have liked.

Kyle Walkee's performance today os why Pep will always trust him ahead of Danilo. We are too quick to judge him even though he's had to play week in week out.

I agree. I'm a fan of Danilo and wanted to see him start but you couldn't fault Walker today. His best performance of the season. No argument he deserves to start if he keeps that level up.

Just tell him to fuck off... it’s still in our hands because they blew a 9 point lead!

 

[Blue Til Death]

It's in our hands, fuck the Dippers and fuck their history.... Utter ****s one and all

 

[come-on-barney]

Shit ground, shit view, great performance.

Could not see the other touchline at all but I was in the cheap seats. The lads and Pep are not going to give up our title easily!

 

[George Hannah]

which are they? (Bernardo returning does not = 2 wingers)

Bernardo for Dave (even though that was Dave's best game for a while) and Ferna in for Gundogan (even though he had a very good game today)
We were quite superb I thought
Just a shame to let such a piss poor goal in

True, Mr K got a tongue lashing from PG for that it seems, maybe he'll be replaced too.

Played well overall and a great result. One step closer City.

We were outstanding today and made Palace work hard at keeping his out. Thought every one played well although Merlins first half wasn't up to his usual standard. Sane was sensational at times and Ederson's passing was incredible. Defensive wise we've never looked so solid.

PEP We have played with incredible personality in the last two or three months - we have taken 183 points in two seasons and still have five games left. Those are incredible numbers and show how consistent we are.

Just catching up on these post match quotes from Pep (Karen, as ever, cheers for these btw) - love what he has to say, balanced, and spot on but in a matter-of-fact way about the other team up the top of the table

All about opinions but I thought Dave was much better first half.

 

[chesterbells]

Kevin’s of level of desire was immense today, right till the end.

Is this the post match thread? Only 24 pages? Can only presume coz the kids are off that all the wums are on their Xbox.

Shit ground, shit view, great performance.

It's dreadful isn't it. I spent a fair bit of the first half watching the game on the big screen because we were near one of those bloody pillars.

Just watched the game again at home to confirm that we were as good as I thought.

A top quality display. The defence led by the incomparable Vincent Kompany were outstanding. Kev, Sane and Raz a constant threat and Gundo knitted it all together nicely.

When De Bruyne passed the ball, Jesus was in an off side position and attempted to play the ball - so he is offside, even though jesus does not touch the ball? When the defender plays the ball then Jesus is not offside. I wonder what VAR would have decided?

The rule is crazy but it says there is only offside when the player "interfere" wich is touch the ball or not allow the opossition player see the ball , De Bruyne wants to pass the ball to Jesus but he didn't go for the ball , so he didn't "interfere" , Milenković trys to cut the pass but without sucess and with that he changed the trajectory of the ball wich put Jesus onside .
