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

[Gibblue]

Weird lineup and poor performance so far. Pep's priority looks to be CL. Fancy Foden to come on and win us the game

 

[OrigamiNinja]

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

Exactly. Palace are fucking shite.

 

[city warrior]

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

I didn't know we had Kane. Or are you talking about last season Haaland? Because this season, he is very far from being the best striker.

 

[samuelyeboah]

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

I think after the first 10 minutes we played pretty badly.

 

[christened at st marks]

You just can't play Alvarez and Haaland together we have no press what the fuck are you thinking Pep
We have no press with Haaland anyway but with the two of them were fucked

 

[Blu1]

Our midfield tactics making them look better & easier for them. Been our issue all season

I have no idea why pep keeps leaving Rodri alone! It does not work & Rodri is now shattered as he needs to cover so much ground.

We look so much more balanced when Kova plays with Rodri!

Alvarez also does not work in this role get foden on in there we have to win this

We are just making the game so difficult for ourselves

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

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.

His touch isn’t good enough either.

Notice he gets into pockets in midfield and we don’t find him because the lads behind him obviously don’t trust his touch.

So frustrating.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Bobb Lewis have looked good on the right

It's great except I can't tell them apart from a distance because of the hair. It's like we've got Les Twins playing on the right.

 

[Mad_fer_it]

I think you’re full of shit.

Good one! Classic dumb person's response! Love it.

 

[Gorbachev]

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

Right now he is awful. Tough decisions need to be made

We look better with Alvarez/false 9 right now.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Take Alvarez off and put Foden next to Haaland

Take Lewis off and Akanji on.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Where has this Palace been all season then. Big game Charlie's

 

[Lavinda Past]

Rodri disaster class. Otherwise a decent half. Expecting a couple of goals early in the second. Haaland should have scored the one on one.

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

Stones has been half asleep

 

[Legal Alien]

Take off Alvarez and you leave a clearly unfit Haaland against 2x centre backs and essentially play with 10 men.

We're getting overrun in midfield.

Alvarez isn't offering anything, but neither is Erling, so one needs to go imo.

 

[Barcon]

Need Kova and Bernie on.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

I didn't know we had Kane. Or are you talking about last season Haaland? Because this season, he is very far from being the best striker.

Is haaland top scorer in the league.
Fuck me we are a spoilt bunch at times

 

[Chak19]

Was always going to be difficult against these twats who always show up against us, and with Pep going back to playing Alvarez in midfield to accomodate Haaland.

 

[super_city_si]

Alvarez off please, not the answer at all

Gundo to him in midfield is such a downgrade. Don’t know what pep sees.

 

[MCFC1993]

Alvarez (or Haaland) have to come off, Foden or Bernardo on. Rodri needs help.
