Match Thread | Crystal Palace vs Man City (06/04/24)

[Gabriel]

Poor play by Stones but also poor play by both Stones and Dias in their line up to that ‘attack’. Can’t play forward when neither is set to defend.

I’ll have to look back at the pass from Rodri to Alvarez. Was it a bad pass or did Alvarez fuck up leading to a counter yet again?

It was stones and probbaly a bit of alvarez but it was a poor pass

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

4 against 2 there. What are we doing.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

We’re shite by our recent standards this season.

Poor transfer window to blame.

Agree. Been saying it since September.

 

[Blue warrior]

Don’t panic lads/lasses we will win the game shit start but we will nick it!

 

[East Level 2]

Why do they need a fan facing the wrong way showing fans what to sing.
Fuck off

Cos they is ultras innit?

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Alvarez had absolutely NOTHING to do with that. The horrendous pass that started it all came from Stones

Agree with you mate - seems plenty don't, hence my comment about his haters

 

[NptonBlue89!]

Same old shit against these lately very frustrating these are shockingly poor but always seem to do it against us

 

[youngbob]

Not coping with them packing the midfield at all. Can't get it through. Kovacic for Alvarez needed in games like this.

 

[bluemoon32]

Come on Cityyyyy

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

That's why Akanji has to play as well. He's the only one in our backline with any pace.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Feel like I’ve seen that goal or very similar conceded about 50 fucking times.

It's a clear flaw in our side that we're struggling to fix this season

 

[ScottSinclair]

Shite technique? Stones missed a 5 yard pass...

The pass was terrible, but there is no good reason playing someone with as inconsistent technical ability as Alvarez in the middle.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Chill blues
We’ve got this
1-3

 

[super_city_si]

This midfield is fucking awful

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Lewis, Stones, Rodri all given the ball away centrally in midfield in the first 7 minutes...wakey wakey lads

 

[pudge]

Kovacic had to start ahead of Alvarez but sure he had to shoe horn him in somehow

 

[Chi-town blues]

fuck it 1-4

 

[Josh_D]

The wide pass saved City. That was 4 on 2. Phew

 

[Blu1]

And we are still playing this insane high line pissing around with it. Been our biggest issue all season. Wrong tactics for these players sadly. We are wide open on every one of their breaks
