Crystal Palace (H) | Post Match Thread

[plattlanebenches]

Was thinking at half time it was shaping up to be one of those shit Saturdays we used to get with us losing, dippers battering Bournemouth and rags win but moved the ball quicker and fed the best number 9 in Europe. Wine o clock it is.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Sell Bernie, I riot.

and a strongly worded letter to the sports editor of the Sale and Altrincham Messenger.

Manchester City 4-2 Crystal Palace

 

[Gray]

Looks

There really is something about Alvarez isn't there? Seems to play with the kind of modesty that Kev has, a proper City player. Him and Phil looked a good combo.

Looks a terrific buy.

City determined to test their bouncebackability to destruction it seems.

Still intact, thankfully.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Didn't someone say 4-2 Haaland hat-trick at H.T?
Well done that man!!
Couldn't get any wirse could it?
The Bernie deflection evened out the o.g.
After that only one winner..

 

[mackenzie]

Honestly thought Pep was going to wrestle Haaland to the ground when he brought him off and shag him, lol

 

[SiMCFC]

Well thank fuck for Bernardo and Haaland today that's all I will say. The fact that Pep got Gundo to sit back down after first goal makes me worried he didn't see what a disaster it was turning out to be. We cannot afford to play this slow pace and narrow game with Mahrez out wide, he kills the ball every time wanting to cut in, the less said about the Walker experiment the better, just play players where they should be at a decent pace and we get a win 9.5/10 times

Mentality monsters! What a second half!

At half time I was thinking why hasn’t one of our most impressive players of the season so far, Gundogan, started this one. And then Bernardo pulls off a second half like that! But we might want to give Carlos Vicens a call to remind the boys how to defend set pieces…

Riyad was not impressive today. Needed quick crosses whipped in rather than slowing down the play and getting the ball back onto his left foot. Nonetheless, amazing result!

I said 4-2 City at half time, but didn't mention Haaland.

 

[applecentral]

You can pick that bird up below your comment for me!

 

[Shaggy]

VAMOS VAMOS VAMOS ALVAREZ
VAAAAAMMOOOOOOS MAN CITY

@SCEtoAUX ?

Said the score, I didn't mention Haaland though :-)

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I didn't watch the match as I was working but kept an eye on it on the matchday thread.
I know it's infested with wum's and City fans of a nervous disposition but whoever wrote that comment about Haaland being on par with Bony needs to just fuck off into the sea.
We've not had a proper preseason, it's not clicking yet I agree especially the defence but when it does we'll fuck this league.
Up the fucking blues & Pep fucking Guardiola.

What you on?

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

When Alvarez and Gomez came on our pace and passing was so much faster. It helped players like foden to play as his normal pace

 

[Eccles Blue]

On Final score Guy Mowbray is absolutely gushing over us, especially Bernie and Erling..... "City are operating a handicap system now, giving the opposition a 2 goal start".
Guy has the biggest smile on his face as well. He is well chuffed for us. Am I seeing things?

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Probably not happy with the way he and we played in the first half especially

Deffo a game of two halves.
