Palace will just sit back and let us come at them now, just like the first half

 

[christened at st marks]

Roll on 80 mins

What a weird season.

issues have been the same all season yet nothing changes or seems to be learnt.

1. no defence yet no defenders signed. Crazy this is a priority especially with champs league

2. finishing. We should be 2/3 up in most games yet we miss sitters.

3. attitude & motivation seems very up & down this season

4. Fitness been an issue all season for some reason.

5. I want to say tactics but I just think it’s a combination of the above letting pep down.

6. A lack of new signings in areas we all know about

Bernardo is wasted out wide. He's far more effective in the midfield 3.

This too is problematic

Add eight more and we're in Foden time

Palace will just sit back and let us come at them now, just like the first half

and catch us on the break?

I don’t know what Sterling offers on the left in games like this. The amount of times he plays a 1-2, gets in behind then instead of crossing first time with his left foot, cuts back onto his right foot and loses the angle and momentum. So frustrating

Goals Palace have conceded in their last 10 games:

1
1
1
1
1
1

1-1 all over it. They can defend.

Now that’s blind optimism.

You wouldn’t know optimism if it hit you over the head, mate.

 

[rnblade]

Fast forward to 80 minutes.... Kun off, Jesus on. Merlin off, Mahrez on.

 

[SidJames]

Since all the Real Madrid talk Sterling has looked a shadow of himself.

 

[colorado blue]

Mendy the only positive for me so far.

 

[super_city_si]

Shape and personnel are wrong. It won’t improve until we make changes.

 

[B\connellblue]

We haven't exactly come out all guns blazing here. Need to speed our play up

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Gundogan slowing things down...

 

[RandomJ]

Still playing at a snails pace.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Palace can defend

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Gundogan is bang average, what do pep see in him

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Come on City, just fucking score, it's not that difficult.....

 

[Blue_Rossy]

Lol big Roy peps Achilles heel.
