Match Thread | Man City vs Crystal Palace (18/01/20)

[Damanino]

We had 6 days to rest for this but we just cant create any good chances apart from the freekick from De Bruyne.

Lots of bad crosses from us so far.

This is a must win, big second half needed.

Foden and Mahrez on please.

Pep rotating the team just kills momentum. Liverpool play their strongest team every game

 

[super_city_si]

We need Jesus on to provide another focus.

 

[bluealf]

is it me or is it every time we have Silva and Gundog playing together? too slow moving through midfield

You know it isn't just you, it is well documented they don't seem to fit well together, sure there was a huge thread on it.

 

[heslops barnet]

Plenty of time yet. Keep the faith. Come on City.

in pep we trust

 

[citytill1die84]

ffs stop trolling again

How is this twat still here seriously? Talks absolute shite every game.

Not u by the way Karen ha

 

[Josh_D]

1 shot 1 goal again

Really don't get why pep persists with Kev, Dave and Gundogan in the midfield. It hasn't worked for months now. So slow and no need to change it considering how well we have been playing recently with that trio playing together

Didn’t realise that was the trio in midfield. Only realised it before I saw your post. Can only hope the lads do better.

 

[razman]

Merlin off , Bernardo central and mahrez on

FFS , stop playing Kev as a dm

 

[flook]

Reading the last few pages I thought we had conceded a quick second.

very nearly did mate, thankfully ferns head is as quick as his legs

 

[Jag]

Silva off for Mahrez
Gundogan off for Rodrigo

 

[paulsimpson]

John shouldn't have been beaten to the first header ...


However we go again ....
Nice try David


71% possession

Corner after corner arghhhh

 

[chesterbells]

Plenty of time yet. Keep the faith. Come on City.

you say that, but they are defending really deep, really well

 

[Semper aggressus]

Need to dip into some of that £4.8 billion we're supposedly worth and find a centre back from somewhere.

 

[domalino]

KDB at fault for the goal. Ball watching and plays them all onside instead of getting out.

 

[jimharri]

Stones and Fern both out jumped by Cahill for the goal, and Gundogan fast asleep at the back post.

 

[Gabriel]

Stones all day. Missed the header once for the corner and then from the corner.

Agreed. Neither dominant enough in the air nor fast enough to recover when running.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

The whole team are not clicking. No use blaming any one of them

 

[El Mago86]

Stones all day. Missed the header once for the corner and then from the corner.

Im sorry but gundogan just walked out glanced at bloke behind him running in. All on gundo that. Not gonna win all the headers but defending like gundogan did is criminal.

 

[RandomJ]

We should just give their goalkeeper the ball back when we get a corner. We never do anything with them.

 

[RayCTID]

Our own fault for that.
