Match Thread | Man City vs. Crystal Palace (12/04/25)

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He has zero chance against eze.

Both goals came on the other side though

 

[jimharri]

Better chance, yes, great chance nope.

Villa at home is a 6 pointer, but our away games are tough. Everton won’t leave Goodison without a couple more wins, Bournemouth and Fulham are both away too and equally difficult.

The Bournemouth game is at home.

 

[Damanino]

dont trust defence, we can concede more here. but we need to up the tempo and keep going for it, Kev had bit of energy today and it helped the others too to wake up.

 

[Mancity1980]

Who the **** is?

You do know I mean with the dark arts, for a second there I thought you fancied him!

 

[jaiguruKun]

The side is completely unbalanced. Both goals have come down our left as O'Reilly is having to do two jobs. I feel that if Pep had been more positive in his team selection we'd be winning this comfortably.

 

[Dax777]

McAtee off for me, the lad has zero personality on the pitch, get Savio on

What? Mcatee has been fantastic!!! His movement, touches are far and away better than anything I've ever seen from Savio. He might not have the foot skills of the True,-wingers but his movement and Marmoush's have been amazing.


Please, keep this team for now. Rico is the only potential change for me to get more speed off thd Right side.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I can't get over their second goal. League 2 defending.

System is working quite well in getting Kev involved.

 

[Gabriel]

McAtee should have hit the target with his header but was involved in the goal and set up de Bruyne with a pass that took out 4 defenders. I’d keep him on just now because he has an ability to ghost into positions unmarked when the défense is packed.

 

[OntarioBlue]

We NEED fullbacks in the summer

Said the same thing to my neighbour in the ground. Lewis and O’Reilly are definitely not the answer.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Cmon blues!

 

[Zenmanc]

Mate we are on the brink of loosing out on champions league football despite 5 spots getting it.

It’s ok for some people to be unhappy, it’s ok for some fans to be asking questions. It’s ok not to be a happy clapper. The current situation is shit.

Let’s hope we get the win!

We've been on top of the football world compared to our history on a decade now.

That does not last. A dip is inevitable, a complete sea change in form is expected at some point

I agree with what you said however it's just so disappointing to see how some can so easily and as if innate reflex turtle under and crumble...

Call me what you will but id rather be known as one who will try to support to the end than one who throws my rattle out and gives up mid first half. I will call out, I do complain but i don't fucking give up.

The cancerous negativity of this forum this season has me barely here matchdays when I used to enjoy the comraderie.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Tighten up conceding chances, and Kev can do this for another 45 min, we can win this.

Yeah I think we will. We started well but once again the defence, keeper and holding mid not doing their jobs properly.

Dias has been awful considering he is the senior defender.

 

[Legal Alien]

What a strange half.
They could've been out of sight, yet we could've/should've been leading at halftime.

Kev's playing well.

I'd put Nunes on at right back, Eze has far too much room.

COME ON CITY!

 

[theholysmurf]

The Bournemouth game is at home.

Ah my bad

 

[YatesA]

Both goals came on the other side though

How far off was he from eze? He was leaving eze with acres of space, palace failed to punish that a few times. He doesn't have the pace to recover that.

 

[johnny crossan]

A welcome scaling down of thread emotion with our recovery after the first 30 mins but the team selection remains deeply problematic for me. Lewis and O'Reilly are both unsuited to the positions they are playing, particularly with the lack of cover offered by Gundo & Kova. At least five players should be picked ahead of McAtee - who has failed to impress in any of his appearances this season - what is Pep thinking :-(

 

[Sky Blue]

Fear not Kev’s got this.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Could end up about 5-4 - I'm trying to decide whether I prefer this or the dirge last week. At least this has goals.

Lad had 12 touches and completed 6 passes(2nd least on the pitch after Mateta).. what do you mean been fantastic lol

Ederson shoukd be stronger but he was being fouled/held back by Matete
