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

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

What Palace? What are they actually doing that’s above and beyond the norm? We’re just poor and creating our own problems.

 

[Sky Blue]

Same problems. Can’t defend transitions and we ain’t scoring enough to compensate.

Feel like the wheels might come off here and certainly against Madrid.

This place. I’m offski…

 

[dickie davies]

We've got this Blues

 

[Phil1]

For 15 minutes or so yes. Besides, i don't think anybody has lost the ball for us more than grealish has this half. The balance kovacic should bring to the side is what's important here.

Agree it’s the middle where our issues lie at the moment.

 

[Blu1]

I will be amazed & pissed off if alvarez comes back out

 

[Dr Jacoby]

You have to hand it to them, TNT have managed to assemble quite possibly the worst commentary and punditry team imaginable.

 

[alexmcity]

We’ve lost every game in which Rodri hasn’t started, I think, so it would have been a tough call dropping him.

That's how fans reason, Pep should be better than that.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Our passing really has been poor at times this season and none more so than today. Not easy to pick out players playing against 10 at the back but even simple five yard passes are going astray.

We need to buy another centre half with genuine pace if we want to leave ourselves so open. Also, when we have players like De Bruyne who can score a goal from literally nothing, then you have to ask why we are leaving ourselves so open at the back. We’re certainly making it a lot easier for Palace than we have to.

Rodri looks fucked so I would have him off with Alvarez and put Foden and Kovacic on.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

The amount of criticism for Alvarez, but not our highest-earning, 'world-class' striker, is bizarre. At least the former works hard off of the ball.

 

[cookster]

Without service Haaland is an average footballer.
Either we need to service or drop him.

 

[kaz7]

Bollocked sky and gone back to superfast broadband so can watch the second half

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[eastmanc]

I'd bring Phil on for Alverez.

 

[Don Karleone]

We'll end up third if we have that attitude. We fight to the end.

Think I need to edit my post. I still think we've got this, just happy we got to HT level.

 

[handsofstone]

God if we win the title.this season we'd have massively lucked our way into it

Been not even mear good enough for soany games

Need Phil on to give us some inspiration up top, but we look so vulnerable at the back our defenders need to give their head a wobble and find some fire, it's so passive

 

[SWPISHOME]

I will be amazed & pissed off if alvarez comes back out

Prepare to be amazed and pissed off...

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I do worry about the counter attack on Tuesday.

Bellingham, Vinicious and Rodrygo could run absolute riot if we don't sort something out soon

We'll have Kova in there, relax

 

[I'm Blue]

Is it your first time watching TNT? ; )

Like you always do in every single match day thread so far?

 

[Phil1]

We've got this Blues

Absolutely but it seems this thread is for all those who haven’t been laid for a long long time and have frustrations to get rid of.

Pep isn’t usually one for half-time changes…
