Crystal Palace (A) | Post Match Thread

[Heath Park]

Maybe someone can tell us a good joke to cheer us all up. Anyone?

lack of a real finisher could be the difference this year....but then again we have done it in the past.

This game was always the one where we could drop points and so it proved to be.

Those saying it was over in January have been proven to be way out as many others pointed out.

We played fine but Foden, Bernardo were not at it today and unusually wasteful. Grealish needs to do more as well (not for the first time)

We looked a bit desperate at times and mistakes crept in

One point is better than nothing but Liverpool have a real incentive now to go and beat Arsenal which they will undoubtedly will do as they are prolific in front of goal and Arsenal still have a soft underbelly. We just need to pray for a freak result there or its down to 1pt

Its going to be neck and neck all the way and I just hope the lack of a real finisher upfront doesnt trip us up.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I would.

Seriously. I would take being 4 points behind, with a game in hand, and their momentum. The pressure is very much on us, and it is showing. The match against them is huge.

Get some big money on them then :-)

 

[Akira]

Bernardo missing a simple tap-in sums up the day.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Typical Palace performance.
Why so unadventurous when they are clearly finishing mid table.

 

[kanovic]

We can buy Haaland and buy Kane as well but that’s not the only issue. The biggest issue we have is that we have no pace in the side. Never replaced Leroy. We have no pace to get at sides in midfield or on the wings. Until we get real pace into this side we will struggle to breakdown teams.

Haaland and Kane would have both finished bernardos chances

 

[Leeky]

title gone

Behave yourself we’re 4 points ahead with Liverpool playing Arsenal on Wednesday, if they beat Arsenal we will be 1 point ahead with Liverpool coming to the Etihad. They have plenty of hard games to come and so do we, nothing is won in March

Well played City also well played Palace. Credit to Patrick for the way they play and playing out from the back. That Gallagher for them is some player. Is Andy Hinchcliffe a Liverpool fan now and that other Commentator? He played for city and Everton but must have a love for Liverpool. Oh well, unlucky. That has to be one of our hardest fixtures out of the way. Come on champions we go again. Love this team

3 points from 18 available against Spurs, Southampton and Palace is a little worrying, though.

19 from 21 against utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and, up to now, Liverpool.

 

[samuelyeboah]

I'd like to see who the #1 player is in the league for setting up chances for his teammates to miss. I'm guessing Jack is right up there pal.

yeah i'm sure that's why he's on 2 assists, because everyone else keeps missing the sitters he provides.

 

[hilts]

Have people on here gone mad? We played well, created lots of chances and just missed them. We weren’t shit as people are suggesting. I despair of this fan base sometimes.

The game is quite simple try to score more than the other team. You can't be excellent if you cant finish chances. Its a pretty vital part of the game. The finishing was shit and some of the passes and crosses were the same.

The manager was shit as well.

 

[Chippy_boy]

What really pissed me off was our trying the same thing again and again and again and again and not mixing it up.

We had maybe 10 chances to take a shot from distance, work the keeper, but no just cycle it around again for another 5 minutes. We are so **un**-direct, it's bloody ridiculous.

Oh well, never mind. Maybe next year....

oh my.
Give over.
Daft sod.

 

[Katsunari Takayama]

Those 6 games will cost us the title

Unless the other 32 games win us the title

 

[madloaf]

We knew that in the summer and decided to spend £100 million of Jack Grealish rather than sign a striker.

We’ve no one to blame than ourselves for that.

It’s not like the writing wasn’t on the wall either. The fact Gundogan was our top scorer is pathetic with the forward players in this side.

We're not using him right. Free Jack Grealish

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

Time to sit on this thread and watch the bed wetters shit themselves…

any other day and we win that 3-0 it just wasn’t to be. Regardless of what happens on Wednesday it’s in our hands still. This is football at the highest level if you wanna watch a cake walk to the title every season go watch bayern Munich zzzzzz.

I don’t doubt Pep and this team. Bring it on.

Talk about a mixed metaphor

 

[bluemoon32]

Should have spent the hundred million on a striker instead

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Could do. I still think we’ll win it because the scousers are wildly overperforming imo but we are certainly making it very difficult for ourselves
