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

[Luke The Blue]

When you're ready Pep.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Boring as watching F1

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

Glad Pep thinks it is going well and no changes are needed

Making changes is admitting getting it wrong. Pep doesn't admit to making mistakes

 

[Blu1]

No point in Haaland on we dont even look for him

 

[argyle]

Why are we leaving it for Dias and Akanji to play the killer pass??

Why is Pep happy with this??

 

[bugsyblue]

Kev’s done. Please sub him

 

[YatesA]

This style of play slow laboured side ways passing is extinct

Rodri or no Rodri this garbage won’t work

Football is moving ahead and we are stuck in this possession scrap

PSG barca are exciting
Hell inter are better to watch

It can work with rodri because he can actually play intricate passes and knows when and how to pass the ball. You do also need another player similar to him and kdb though

 

[Alexia_Ko]

This right hand side is absolutely killing us, no urgency or quality whatsoever. Pull off all three Pep

 

[Mr HJ]

KDB is struggling out there, time for Foden maybe

The problem is Phil has struggled for four months now. It is actually sad to see Kev go from the best forward, early passing player in world football to one who would rather play tip tap to Akanji who then gifts possession away. I really don't know who could make a big difference in this match - maybe a certain young Argentinian?

 

[super_city_si]

Thsi is good pep. Don’t change anything.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Come on blues

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Re-run of Southampton…..

Pep betting on the moments of individual brillance….which have been few this season.

 

[Goater=Legend]

What exactly is he waiting for, the games drifting away.

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

Absolutely dreadful second half

 

[wolviedinho]

The players we’re buying seem to be as big a problem as the ones we need to replace though.

Then we will stay at this shit level.

 

[theholysmurf]

If there’s to be a fairytale ending for Kev it isn’t today, been nothing short of absolutely gash.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Kev having a stormer

 

[Kun Blue]

He is better than Khusanov on the ball. I don't like him starting either. Just pointing out its our play on the ball that's the issue. Not our defending. We are barely doing any.

Far enough mate.

I don’t rate Akanji on the ball at all. I guarantee what Khusanov offers defensively is more of an upgrade on Akanji’s limited skill on the ball though.

 

[sh249]

Lucky

 

[handsofstone]

We have dominated there game tbf

What?

They are more than comfortable, they want this type of game and we are giving it to them
