Match Thread | Crystal Palace vs. Man City FA Cup Final (17/05/25)

[mancityscot]

I think one things for sure, Akanji has done his time here. Hopefully we don’t need to see him in a city shirt beyond this season

 

[deano ou812]

Bent over AGAIN with VAR - every week it happens.

Needs calling out can’t keep having this happening to us ..

 

[Stato]

Henderson has turned into Buffon and we were predictable shit at the back again when they went forward

 

[houraisen]

It's terrible, but this is our reality.

 

[dromoreblue]

Cmon City

 

[vmsuhail]

Haaland midweek stated that the team are not doing enough and yet come Saturday he’s the main culprit!! Practice what you preach

If he isn't confident himself, then it's better to give it to someone else. I've no problem with Haaland there.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Harsh on Nunes to be dropped for Akanji to just walk back in.

 

[RiversideBlue]

How the fuck is that not a handball by Henderson????????????

How slow is your feed?

 

[Kippax77]

Rooney saying much deserved. What game is he watching.

It's just the narrative BBC are running with.... again.
City can have all the possession, shots and corner but as long as Palace are winning everyone is happy.
It's painful listening

 

[Nour]

They clearly want palace to win it how is a keeper allowed to even touch it outside the line and not give a card for that.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

All the panel agree that the keeper should be off.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Going away from goal apparently, even though it was him slapping the ball away that caused it.

Bottled sending him off in a cup final, pathetic from VAR.

If it was a league game he walks immediately.

VAR basically match fixing games to keep them 'fair'.

That's bullcrap

He wasn't in his box and handled the ball

Absolute bull shit from them

 

[PSmyth07]

Mad when Rooney says its a red

 

[super_city_si]

Even bbc all agree red card.

 

[jollylescott]

Savinho has to be replaced.

Yep. He's completely ineffective. I'd take him off now.

 

[jrb]

Big overreaction. He stepped up for a penalty whilst our highest payed player shirked it. Weak mentality is an over exaggerated

No!

It was decided by Pep and his coaches.

Haaland would have taken that penalty if Pep would have picked Haaland

 

[normskih]

Kev & savi should not be coming out for 2nd half if pep wants to win this

I think KDB has been ok, Savinho has seen a lot of the ball but wasted so much of it.

 

[madloaf]

Akanji was poor for the goal and looked dodgy a couple of times

He was. It was poor defending not taking away anything from a very good cross.

 

[Sky Blue]

I'm watching a different game to most here, it seems. We've been the better team and created several chances. We've lost one goal to their first time over the half-way-line. It's hard to know what to say when so many here are willing to utterly castigate the players at half time when the game is clearly there to be won. Get a grip.

Same game as me. Fuck the clueless morons on here.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Linekar not complaining about the non keeper sending off as it would have ruined the game
