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

[platty7]

Stones and Rodders lost it 5 times in shit areas now

 

[p.taker]

Don't worry Rodri mate. You only need to play every second on the pitch for another couple of months

 

[Macca77macca]

We need Akanji on

 

[Blu1]

What the hell are we doing at the back today. Absolutely dreadful.

Because we have zero midfield. Rodri shouldn’t even be our last line. He needs to stay up & allow another player such as Kova come deep for the ball.

 

[Josh_D]

Kova needed. Need a ball carrier from deep to allow Rodri to breathe.

Stones doesn’t look comfortable.

 

[bondsman]

Haaland has to do more. That’s not a jumping on bandwagon statement just fact.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

We always make palace look good lol

We make most teams look good from our defensive errors

 

[SebastianBlue]

Oof. Rodri dispossessed three times this half.

Grealish dispossessed a few times, as well.

Seem to think they have a lot more time and space than they actually have. And also ignoring easy passes to put themselves in risky positions to give away the ball.

Pep will be mentioning that at half time.

Alvarez is really not helping, though, as Palace are too easily overrunning the midfield when we lose possession.

 

[Kadour75]

Rodri has not put a foot wrong this season.

I jinxed it ! My bad.

 

[Claytop]

Rodri injured?!

 

[hertsblue]

Defensively we are awful again.

And set pieces again. Tight games like this a decent corner could result in a goal but we have had 7 already and not much of a threat from them

 

[TinFoilHat]

I’m still annoyed at @BlueMoonRisin’ charging £1 a sheet!

It better be a good sheet.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

How long can they keep this mad-fast pressing up for?
Really hope they get tired at the end of the half and leave a few holes for us to exploit.

But they look so dangerous on the break.

Chaotic game.

 

[knuckles]

WTF, now we have the 'Voice of joe cole' FFS - TNT are gits

 

[Blu1]

Well of course you don’t as you made up some bollocks and got called out…

No they didn’t play as good as this, not even close to it

 

[DMA's]

Joe Cole giving pep advice. Good god

 

[Eoiyflem]

I don’t recall them playing this aggressive v them or working as hard

This is rubbish mate

 

[Chi-town blues]

need doku and foden

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Palace are defending for their lives. It feels like it's going to take another moment of magic.

 

[Rolo]

Haaland not offering enough right now. Needs to get more involved.
