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

[Alexia_Ko]

We've been shite to be fair

Kovacic and Rodri provides balance so we can go all out attacking

 

[Eccles Blue]

This woman on commentary is like a fucking jack hammer in my head.

That’s why I turned the sound off!!

This is not a criticism just a concern: is it my imagination or is Erling not jumping as high as he used to? Do you think he’s carrying a niggle on his knee?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Been in bed what have I missed ?

F*cking get up earlier , lazy c*nt :)

 

[Bluewars II]

4 days before Madrid and we've got Rodri doing dog shifts in midfield, at least put Kova in alongside him to take off some of the load. Every time that lad from the Balkans plays there's gaps in midfield and we look disjointed.

 

[sh249]

Bobb is a great prospect. Exudes class.

 

[RayCTID]

Doing everything correct apart from the finishing. Still got to be switched on defensively. No qualms about the effort in trying to defend our League title.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Bitter, obsessed, cunts.

Brilliant isn’t it?

 

[Sky Blue]

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.

Not right in the head you.

 

[BolinCell]

I don't think it was 'terrible'. You have to credit Palace.

when you give credit to an absolute shite team like Crystal Palace you know your in trouble.

 

[deano ou812]

Just need to up the tempo again we were cutting through them with ease but unfortunately we’ve dropped off which seems to be a common theme this season..

 

[Stelea]

Absolute shambles at the back which isn’t being helped by Rodri having his worse game of the season.
Alverez and Bobb barely contribute. Get them off for Bernie and Foden.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Fucking garbage that.

The back four are all over the fucking show… all of them. Defensively fucking terrible and the “passing” is like watching Bournemouth under Eddie Howe. Stones has been fucking atrocious and has to come off.

Rodri being asked to play midfield on his own again and is struggling. Absolutely crazy to play both KDB and Alvarez.

Wingers offering next to nothing again.

If Haaland is going to have half a dozen touches a half, he can’t miss 1v1s. Goals are the only way you can get away with such little impact on our general play.

 

[Chi-town blues]

doku , foden , bernie .. in
alvarez, bobb, jack —-out

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Room for improvement...and I think we will. 3-1 City & 3 points.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Every time we have the chance to go top, especially when we play mid table teams, we manage to feck it up.
More worryingly if Rodri is jiggered now he is in no fit state to play v Real. Forget the league now, it's over if this stays as it is.Trouble is we have no Rodri deputy, so doesn't play out well for the coming weeks.

I felt really positive when I got up today as well.....thought we may just sneak a win.

 

[BossHog]

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.

Ederson noticed when showing the bench and waved imaginary card.

 

[citymad]

I’d swap Kova for Haaland and put Alvarez up top, Haaland needs message he needs to do more in general play or at least learn how to control a ball
City player who’s done the least again
Just not justifying having himself on the pitch

I wasn’t aware he was playing.

 

[bert38]

Stones running like an old man-clearly not fully fit. Rodri looks like he’s about to collapse.

And we are as crazily open as the last time Alvarez played in midfield.

Increasingly makes the kova and Nunes signings more pointless.

 

[alexmcity]

Pep made a mistake to start Rodri. Should have subbed him in if necessary. If he gets injured or loses form, we ain't winning anything.

Alvarez and Haaland should do better.

Thought Bobb had some brilliant moments. Rico did well.

Akanji is currently our best defender.

 

[Axel Freed]

Wow. I finally bit the bullet and decided I can afford to be 30 seconds behind live and sync the tv pics to City website commentary. And I get to HT and I’m not in a foul mood from listening to rubbish commentary waffling on about irrelevant stuff and barbed anti city comments from supposedly neutral pundits. Instead I’ve heard a commentator who concentrates on the action and a pundit who’s fair minded and balanced.

How refreshing. I’m late to the revolution I know, but I’m here to stay now
