Crystal Palace (A) | Post Match Thread

Solid performance again liked the clean sheet naturally and no shots on target for them with a solid back four which will be the key to winning games from here on in.

Definitely deserved a bit of luck given our dominance albeit we couldn't find that cutting edge in front of goal in open play.

Relieved for the three points and lets keep the pressure on Arsenal.
 
The best team won, in the end. With better finishing the result would have been more flattering. Not our best performance and at times it was quite laboured. At the end of the day three points were what ultimately mattered most. On we go to Tuesday, we can't be as profligate then.
Nooo; we were sensational.
 
Palace home and away are two games I really don't like every season. To put it generously they are experienced at making sure other teams can't play and at ensuring the play is broken up and disjointed. I should also add the Zaha is certainly not a favourite player of mine. I thought it possible that we could drop at least a point today. But in the event we produced a very patient and professional performance. We were never going to put together a flowing 50 pass move, with everyone involved, before Erling sat the 'keeper down and rolled the ball in .... so we did what was necessary, dominated the ball, shut Palace out almost completely and waited for our opportunity. In fact we created more than one but one was all we needed. Well done City.
 
We seem to say "not our best performance but..." a lot these days but not our best performance but welcome result.
 
Yea didn’t expect it to be honest they were trying it on with a few fans around including me but this young lad in particular !
Hang on so this is a post match thread, all things City and football. Like all clubs we have our share of knobheads. Not sure your exact beef but maybe open up a separate thread with details of what you experienced and maybe just maybe something will get done.
 
We conceded 0 clear chances. Clear chances for us:
- Penalty
- tap in by Haaland.
- Rodri's shot.
- Haaland cross + reboind that almost got in.
- Grealish shooting completely alone and missing it.
-Foden's free kick.
- Haaland's header completely alone inside the box.
- Alvarez 1v1
- Haaland 1v1

That's 9 clear chances against 0 away against a team that is always hard for us. As I said, sensational.
If I ever get divorced I absolutely want you as a character witness for me!
 
The amount of times Nevile had to reiterate Phoden was poor, sloppy , etc then he moved on to , City aren't using Haaland as good as Dortmand did , blatant attempt to influence the uneducated viewer , unbiased my arse !
Rat was appalling today. The Zaha love is comepletely mental. You'ld think he was Garrincha. What a **** that man is.
 
I thought we played much better at Forest (again, my opinion) than tonight. As for Palace being a difficult opponent, here's our record against them in the last 23 years.... View attachment 71784




without todays we've won 1 out of the last three against them. Its so obviously a ground we struggle at, the commentators were talking about it, we all know about the risk from them. But yeah over 23 years we're better.
 
You know those fans you were calling for abusing someone with glasses …….

Pot kettle and black spring to mind
Again I didn’t insult you…I was accused of being a rag and making broad statements …next time you go to an away game see what you think!
 
Alright then I will you fuckin knob !absolute dick heads picking on a lad on his own four of them calling him a specky **** and when he reacted they all threatened to kick fuck out of him …I was sat next to him telling them to leave him alone!
Why call him a knob? He didn't say anything wrong.
 
Rat was appalling today. The Zaha love is comepletely mental. You'ld think he was Garrincha. What a **** that man is.
I'v never heard him be that bad, so openly bad about us. Maybe something has happened behind the scenes that have annoyed him but tbh that was stark stark, he didnt even punctuate it with false praise.
