Nico takes the same blame as Rico in the first goal. But Nico and team mates made sure it didn’t happen too much more after that. There was another occasion Nico let the palace right wing player cut back too easily and almost led to a goal around 30 min. But I think Nico will be a proper city level player. He has the speed and intelligence that is already much better than Doku.Didn’t agree with the team selection before the game. But after the let off with the third Palace goal we were pretty good. The effort and intensity was there. Marmoush is so lively and always looking to get in behind.
Rico Lewis has to do better for the first goal. Never has any awareness what’s around him. He is unlucky Eze was offside for the third.
And i’m really liking the look of Nico o’Reilly. Targetted by Palace in the first half. He isn’t a LB. But strong, quick and really good fast feet. Can’t wait to see him play as an 8.
The team was placing well even at 3:0 down. Your opinions were Pep is trash, team selection was trash, ederson was trash, Gundo, Kova and KDB all trash. And Lewis was trash. Recruitment was trash.Still here lad , the team
Were rightfully called out because they were awful .
What’s wrong with voicing an opinion compared to being a happy flapper ?
They couldn't believe he'd scored.It was Kovacic's goal that surprised me that they were waiting for a var check
And now I've seen what they were looking at, I've no idea why it took so long
Because I don't go any more I inhabit the Matchday Thread more than I ever used to. However I was out today so couldn't follow it and like you I've reviewed it afterwards. There was a lot of really, really negative stuff on there. At 2-0 people actually saying the manager should go.Haha just read the match day thread. What a bunch of mardarsed cunts. Fucking embarrassing. Notice it’s mainly the same ones each week - that never go to games so don’t actually see what is really going on. Kovatic was superb, McAtee movement brilliant, and Rico involved with so many little touches and movements that started so many attacks.
It’s obviously fine to be upset at being 2-0 down but it’s 90 minutes you tools and we’ve the best manager EVER in charge.
We totally nullified them after their disallowed goal and they didn’t know what hit them. So many posters made complete tools of themselves. About 3 were big enough to admit they were wrong at least. The rest of the know nowts disappeared surprise surprise.
4 man box shape midfield of Nico, Kova, Gundo and Kev when defending was genius once they got to grips with it.
Try going to the odd game live if you can and you might actually know what’s going on instead of taking Rio fucking Ferdinand’s word for it!!!!
To be fair they didn't look like clowns in the first 25mins.Well that should shut a few moaning cunts up.
5 goals and they said it was the wrong selection, one even said the worst in pep’s reign.
Clown world.
Get in City!!!!
Am block 211 level two and didn't here a single boo not even what we thought was their third goal.I agree, I didn't hear any in and around Colin Bell stand. Whose said there were boos ?
Dear DTKOAG, I don't know how long you've been watching City, but it's likely to be a while if your name is a tribute to a certain Mr Tueart.Neville putting in snide digs earlier about the booing after Palace got the second.
I heard nothing of the sorts
You have always been the more constructive side in this forum. There are ones who write off the team and every single one in it everyday and keep arguing that they are correct no matter how the outcome slapped their face.Didn't expect that. Tremendous result. Weird thing is I didn't feel like that was a 5-2 game and I also felt like both city and palace actually missed their best chances which could easily have resulted in a crazy, memorable scoreline.
I along with everybody else questioned the lineup but once again Pep shown he knows best. Could have been 4 down before we scored mind and that would have turned nasty if we did. lot of luck in that result today, certainly wasn't a blueprint to copy going forward but some brilliant individual performances got us an absolutely crucial 3 points.
Special mention to gundo and kdb, both rallied the side and the crowd too, led from the front and dragged us back into that game through their quality but also sheer determination, they both really showed the value of players who have been there and done it today.
The pre match should be saved to classic threadsI'm just having a look back at the pre match thread after the team was named....

Great we won and after very strong 2nd half. 1st half been good, besides goals we had KDB/McAtee sitters. Every top team need some momentum.
Game again proved many doubters wrong. Popular thesis before the game no wide players is a mistake, wheres Doku/Savinho. It was not the case at all, we been creating really well. Another, why Rico/Kovacic starting, both were good. KDB over Grealish had apparently merits too.
Really hoping for strong finish by City and today is a right directi
I gave up reading that ages ago after some southerner said he wasn't going to watch the game after seeing the line up.The pre match should be saved to classic threads
Not seen it back yet, interesting.Marmoush was definately fouled as he shot in the one on one - it should have been a pen and a sending off.
The result was just deserts for Palace on that alone I think.
