Match Thread | Man City vs Crystal Palace (27/08/22)

[deano ou812]

8 goals conceded in 2-5 games of course that includes the Barca friendly but still worrying..

 

[footballmanager]

bernardo needs to play next to rodri, foden out, alvarez in, next to Haaland, let the full backs pump forward

 

[Mancityus]

Partial linesman allowing us to play on though clear offside.

 

[der bomber28]

Games like this, you need a ruthless manager to make changes at half time. As great as he is, Pep isn’t that manager.

 

[kaz7]

Can anyone actually be happy with the pile of shit which Walker is producing atm

He is being made to play out of position , not his fault

 

[taconinja]

Why is it the instinct of almost every player we have in the box to let the ball go past them on crosses and passes?

 

[leo_city]

This system has to change. The inverted fullbacks are further limiting are creativity and we're not even stopping any chances from opposition. Go to natural overlapping fullbacks. What's this nonsense

 

[svennis pennis]

Very poor first half from KDB, forcing it.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Would love to see De Bruynes 1st half stats I think he's given it away every time

 

[BlueBanger]

This is so grim to watch...we look clueless.

Do we have a good 1st half in us?

 

[axlgod]

I’m not worried at the moment, sipping moretti in the sun, chilling out.


….however in an hours time I’ll be shitfaced and crying if we lose.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Get Palmer on at least he’ll try to dribble past someone

Palace are too physical, they would bump him off the ball easily. We need Alvarez

 

[leo_city]

Walker is an eye sore on the ball. Fwiw I'm glad we won't have to see him in midfield much longer given how this is going

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Mr Whippy please

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

All I can say is, I’m glad I sold my ticket.

 

[oddfellows]

Not one shot on target ffs

 

[Summerbuzz]

Think that attempted through ball says a lot.

Rodri has to dictate the pace more

 

[Kippax77]

Can we not kidnap Jesus back

 

[CityBluez]

He is being made to play out of position , not his fault

He played good the first two games. I say his fault partially. Lot of players don't have the heads in the game

 

[hertsblue]

System is not working clearly but so slow going forwar, 7 shots 0 on target, our usual finishing stats. You have to wonder what we do in training, bar pointless friendlies abroad as we cannot defend or attack these days.
