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

It's a big problem that we don't have any real "gamechangers".

Yaya was the man for a long time, so was Kev, it's been Gundo in periods.
Who is it now? Who takes the game by the scruff of the neck in situations like this?
Rodri one... But obviously not this season.
Honestly closest we've had in terms on clutch goals this season is probably actually Kovacic, Gvardiol or O'Reilly. That says a lot in and of itself.

When did Pep think our centre halfs have turned into prime playmakers ?
Fucking hell Pep

As we saw with that shit by Akanji.
Honestly same tactics, saje coaching staff and just a few new players next season will have us struggling for top 6.
Palace bring on a striker, we only have 1 in the squad sums it up

 

[Blu1]

Pep has given up

Yep. Kev should not be finishing 90 mins here. His loyalty all season to players killed us

 

[mick10]

Watching itv and I’m not sure they’ve shown the City fans once?!

 

[eyalluvitt]

Akanji what was that

Peter Kay Esq

 

[Gogootz]

It’s the time for it.

He ain't played a game since before chrimbo six months ago - Peps got no ideas and this is a throw of the dice, I hope it pays off

 

[lonestay]

Love this forum everyone been calling for change, so Pep obliges by rolling the dice and putting a debutant on to radically upset palace and then we all moan cos of it !!!!

 

[yankblue]

Feels like there's been about 5 minutes played this half

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

That Oreilly chance was the chance

 

[paulchapo]

One of those days this I can't see us ever scoring like Southampton last week.

 

[Metal Biker]

Tippy tappy to the box, surrounded by three defenders and back it goes.

We've seen this already guys, can we see something else now?

 

[Mr HJ]

Echeverri wants a quick 1 -2 with Phil but what do we do go back and leave it to Akanji to try and create something. Why are we so risk adverse now? Sticking with the process ain't working.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Disgusting this Pep.

 

[bluemurray]

Haaland is a coward. Paid stupid money to bottle out of taking a penalty, leaving it to another overpaid 'star' who has the bottle... but missed.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

I actually feel like crying. Annoyance, frustration and the fact of two games without scoring.

We fall for sucker punch every time.

 

[super_city_si]

Pep mate everyine can see we now have akanji for teh width. Its wank. Get nunes on.

 

[01cravend]

We could have prime Messi playing in the middle and we'd ignore him to play side to side. Its a painful watch

 

[Dax777]

Akanji for Nunes please!!

 

[dhruvblue]

When your defenders see most of the ball you know end is near

 

[SamTheGuru]

Palace deserve this. We don't.
