Match Thread | Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City (14/12/25)

Need Marmoush or even Savio.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I never knew until we signed Haaland that having your striker touch the ball loads of times was apparently more important than scoring goals.

The reason I never have Sky comm's on. They are so bitter and full of shit.

I only ever listen to Ali Mann's comm's on the City Official site. The club's own commentator is 100% more impartial compared to those ****'s on Sky.

 

[heslops barnet]

wank isn't it, haven't got a clue whose got the ball sometimes :)

Bit like a few of our players?

 

[youngbob]

This is just what this season is gonna be like.

Any points we can pick up on the road will be bonuses.

find a solution to reijnders NOT being on the pitch..change things around if need be but its every game he is offering nothing....I can take a lack of talent but a lck of effort is another thing....he is jogging back when they are on the attack...he is caught in no mans land with the game bypassing him time and time again.....

If Pep doesnt haul him off the pitch I just dont get what he is seeing from him...

We may as well play with 10 men if he stays on....

Id sell him in January based on his performances every time he steps on the pitch....an absolute disgrace.

 

[lasereyes]

1 shot 1 goal. Have it.

Foden's free kick also

 

[citymad]

Sky need to give Erling touch map a rest, it's not unusual at all.

Just another stick mate.,

 

[mdj0520]

Reijnders is absolutely miles off it. Complete lack of urgency from a player who should be busting a gut to impress.

Marmoush on for him please Pep.

He seems to find himself in a lot of space fairly regularly, receives the ball, turns and runs up to pitch only to make the complete wrong decision. His off the ball work is even worse. I'm a happy clapper and I've had enough of him. Should be sat down and eased back in. Problem is we need some legs in the middle and no one else available.

 

[pbueno16]

Not getting out of this with anything if we can’t stall their ball carriers and passers in their own half. Way too much defending facing our own goal.

 

[Gray]

Great smile though … especially when he misses.

Get rid in January, must be somebody better out there.

 

[Ric]

Bit fortunate to be ahead, but it was a great goal. Superb cross from Nunes and a top header from Haaland. Need to improve in the second-half though, as they've been the better team so far.

 

[Don Karleone]

I must admit, I thought Moush would play today, seeing as he's fucking off soon.

 

[wattle]

They keep going on about the Pino chance when it was obvious he was offside. Really shit commentating

 

[oldius]

Control the ball and we win the match.
They are dangerous when they have it, so starve them. Once we began to do that, and it took about 30 minutes, they looked far less dangerous. Our lack of physicality in central midfield remains our vulnerability.

 

[Mentis]

Someone needs to tell the commentators that offsides don't actually count as chances

Unless the flag is so heavy that the referee ends up giving advantage to the other team

 

[Blu1]

Rather have reijnders off Bernie more central & either doku or savio on to run at them

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Need Marmoush or even Savio.

Savi might be a bit too lightweight for this one given that the ref has given them the green light to foul at will down that side.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Wonder why so many fans opt for more interesting ways to watch football. When the host broadcaster produce shite bordering on gaslighting whilst the international PL feed just shows the game. The commentary team have a brew at HT whilst showing highlights before going again for the second half?

It's a conundrum....

 

[vmsuhail]

Commentator is gutted, what a ****!

I haven't heard such biased commentary for a long time

 

[King Jay]

can’t tell me marmoush would be worse than reijnders, Bernardo or Foden this half
