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

[Father Paul]

Sorry, am I supposed to change my mind on those opening 28 minutes because we decided to show up after almost being three down?

Yes.

 

[super_city_si]

Not much in it between Eddie and Stefan in terms of shot stopping

No but night and day with the ball at feet

 

[p.taker]

his confidence is shot

Okay, doctor

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

He’s a better shot stopper than Ederson.

Id have agreed with that last season.

There were a couple of games in December where he literally didn’t dive.

 

[MellowJoe]

He’s a better shot stopper than Ederson.

Just a bit weak in the assist department

 

[Mancity1980]

his confidence is shot

What are you talking about?

 

[BlueMonkey79]

He’s a better shot stopper than Ederson.

Maybe. But the opposition have to adapt to Ederson passing range and quality.

With Ortega they don't need to be as switched on.

 

[SWP's back]

WTF

He decided to die on the Ederson hill a while ago and thus his opinion on keepers is ironically rather wank.

 

[eyalluvitt]

FFS not Ortega, could end up 4-4

This is why we should have kept Kyle the cat Walker

 

[jollylescott]

The moment our forwards started pressing, the rest of the team looked so much more secure.

Poor old Kev suffering. No way he's off to Qatar or Saudi for his last big payday, He'd burst into flames on the pitch if he's struggling with a pleasant day in Manchester !!

He can’t go to Miami either if you consider the humidity too!

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Nice touch by comms that

 

[Mattyc55]

O’reilly is really good

 

[Bluearmy]

He's been soooooo much better defensively since he's moved back to CB... Hope he stays there for the foreseeable

He should never be at left back again!!

 

[theholysmurf]

Even during a celebration of a goal you find a way to have a go

I’ve done my time

 

[SWP's back]

They okay in evening when the sun has gone down and it gets quite chilly for six months a year but isn’t he off to the MLS anyway?

 

[Mancity1980]

Maybe. But the opposition have to adapt to Ederson passing range and quality.

With Ortega they don't need to be as switched on.

Agree with that.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Good tribute again to the Chappell’s. Plus very respectful from the commentary team.

still working that one out - will need replays ;-)

Offside decision gets another mention

"Funny" not to mention our early penalty shout given how much McCoist went on about it at the time.
