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

Wow.

Palace should be 3 up imo nothing wrong with the Ederson throw out.

Walker absolutely shite in that Midfield slot.

Need to up our game big time.

Actually the rules are clear and another case where media will drive a narrative that it should have stood,
In reality the first goal shouldn’t as it hit players hand and second neither as it’s a clear foul to us.

 

[wattle]

Foden is trash .. not the future ballon dor winner we hoped .

Another deli Ali imho

That’s the spirit. As soon as someone dips in form get rid of them. Don’t be fuckin stupid

 

[Beanhead]

Problem is anyone who criticises pep on this forum gets called a dipper or a rag when in reality they are pointing out mistakes which he is making . Pep is not god and doesn’t rule the universe and if he carry’s on playing this way we will not win fuck all this season. As for Haaland he needs time to settle in but he might not be the right man for the he job .

Agreed this is on Peps bald head today. He’s still the best in the world, maybe ever but let’s not bury our head in the sand. For all his brilliance he does have a slight chink in his armour and once in a while messes with the formation. It’s like he knows he’s too good and gets bored so messes about a bit.

As for Haaland faaaar to early to make judgement. Yet to see him play with the team in top gear. Think he will be lethal when we get in our groove.

 

[CityBluez]

Stones has been decent. Not sure what you're watching.

He ain't decent. He is bad

 

[jimharri]

Think the time wasting was bad first half? Just fuckin wait!

No more Walker in midfield.... please

I don't blame Palace. I'd be hoping City did the same if the roles were reversed. If they go toe to toe with us in a slugfest, they'd lose. What's the point in that?

 

[Mancityus]

Alvarez on for Foden is the really needed but full faith in Pep to continue as is.

 

[Gray]

Cancelo has been dreadful.

 

[Spanishbob]

Fuck it we will win 5-2

 

[wolviedinho]

Wingers are a problem for us. I don’t like how little impact they have on the game. All they currently do is recycle the ball. Not effective at all.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Dont you ever get bored of this kind of shit? Are you watching this turgid shite? We are not in the lower league doldrums anymore so save the spoiled speech.

What shit

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Well. Erm. We need the next goal.

Not happening

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Our wingers don't run in behind so the square balls to the striker aren't there.

Mahrez and Bernardo have both made it to the byline but picking a striker out in a crowded box had proved difficult.

 

[wattle]

0/10

That’s ridiculous kaz

 

[chesterbells]

Close, and it was a great chance. He was completely alone and had time.

Ok ta - only saw one replay from side & couldn’t tell.
Frustrating waste then in that case.

 

[King Jay]

There are afew so called city fans on here today should be fucking ashamed of themselves and I personally don't think they are blue's but if you are fuck off and support some fucker else

Shut up. What do u expect ? Look at this Walker positioning? It’s not working . In no Game did it work. Why is he still doing this? Why are we giving up Zinchenko if Pep wants a RB who gets the ball much more often? Also no winger who actually has pace and goes at players. Look at that bench.

 

[footballmanager]

Even without any changes, up the damned pace, stop overlaying and overthinking every ball, lets get more agressive runs from our wide men. Haaland, once again, feeding off utter scraps.

Wrong, we need to play slower and Haaland will have to learn to play in tight spaces, cause the pace is all kinds of wrong for us right now. This team is constructed for slow and methodical build up play. When we break we get wrecked.

Also we already have Haaland , canr have moee passengers off the ball aka de bruyne, hes playing like hes messi. Pep needs to sort this mess out

 

[Ashleymcduff]

I think you got that one wrong. The 0/10 was for your post

He’s got a big contract and more interested in hair cuts and eye brow shavings . Stunk the place out , hasn’t put in a big game performance in months . Shit his pants last game of season vs villa and hid

 

[dhruvblue]

We were shit last time against Palace too and Jesus played too

 

[Phoenix900000]

Next goal is vital. Hopefully it's us that score but am not getting my hopes up

 

[OrigamiNinja]

You just can't create a system where Walker sees this much of the ball and think it's good. Cancelo, maybe, but not Walker. It's like Pep is testing him

It’s absolutely incredible. Even Walkers staunchest supporters have never suggested that he is a great footballer. His attributes lie elsewhere. How we have gotten to a situation where everything seemingly needs to go through Walker is unfathomable. None of this is on Walker by the way. He is doing exactly as he is told, but he has obvious short-comings with the ball at his feet. This is all on Pep.
