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

[Phil1]

Stones and Rodri being off the pace is hurting us big time.
Imagine it’ll be fixed second half and we win this comfortably.

 

[willipp]

We’ve dominated but made some shocking individual errors and were lucky not to be losing really.

One player I’m starting to get very frustrated with is Alvarez. He’s a greedy fucker and never gets his head up in dangerous positions. Needs to do a whole lot better.

 

[PSmyth07]

Our defence has been shambolic today, I wish we had a bit of pace back there.

Think Lewis and Bobb are doing ok

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Not a pretty watch that first half, but

We're creating our own problems - which we can sort out (although it seems to be a recurring thing this season)

Palace will struggle to keep up this work rate for 90+ minutes

I have faith - but think we'd like to have got this done early

 

[Chi-town blues]

foden and doku will sort this lot

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

We were incredible until we scored and have been awful since. Unforced errors left, right and centre. We are lucky they only scored from one of them.

What does it take to be booked for time wasting these days? That free kick was beyond a joke.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Shit again. We don’t want this.

That midfield is woeful. Alvarez is not a midfielder.

Haaland anonymous again bar missing his one on one.

 

[pudge]

I fucking hate Palace. Bend over and take it from any other team, play out their skin against us. Kovacic on at ht for alvarez and we will win this

We've been shite to be fair

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

What a nice sedate game it is out there today, perfect preparation for our little trip over to Spain in midweek.

Thank you so so much Premier League.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Bernardo for Bobb (on the hour).

Bobb has been one of our best players.

 

[ScottSinclair]

a non- peformance , kDB strike masking a very poor first half ,Rodri having a nightmare , Haaland and Alvarez missing more one on one's , Foden & Bernardo desperately needed if we want to win this , no urgency or creativity , only bright spark is Rico Lewis good first half from him , the rest of them need a kick up the arse.

Bobb has also been a massive positive

 

[exiled-blue]

Bitter, obsessed, cunts.

Looks like a premier league match day thread on here when the dippers are playing

 

[oakiecokie]

Been very sloppy at times and Rodders looks knackered.Gvardiol is having a torrid times when the ball gets played out to their right wing.

 

[borassic]

I really like Gvardiol but he’s fuckin useless playing this position.

 

[super_city_si]

Trying to be masters of our own downfall so I'll take 1-1 for now

1-1 and I think the leagues done

 

[Legal Alien]

Get Rodri off, he's running on empty. We're going to need him big time in Madrid.

A big call that and i'm not sure Pep will do it.

We're getting overrun in midfield and need more bodies to stop their runs.

 

[Gabriel]

Palace have set up well but too many of ours are playing with an eye on midweek. Need to be more intense in and out of possession.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Fucking Palace. They’re the new Everton / Spurs.

My father in law is a palace fan and we have the same rigmarole every year ffs.

 

[Phil1]

Needs changing now rather than waiting for us to be behind and then doing so, because we will go behind carrying on like this. Once again, one too many players in attack leaving us wide open in the middle. Rodri who is having a complete mare himself needs help.

Grealish off at halftime who's been awful, get kovacic on central next to Rodri and push alvarez out wide for now then replace him with foden when needed. Not winning this without somebody coming in next to rodri.

Put Alverez in Grealish’s position when he loses the ball more than everyone else on the pitch?

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Haaland doesn't start against Madrid for me.

Rodri looks tired.

What team in the world doesn't start the best striker in the world against madrid
