No way we don't concede

Just clear the fucking ball - first Cherki and then Foden trying to dribble out of their own area.

 

[waspish]

Highline is how we Play quick ball over the top with the 3 runners ready

 

[OntarioBlue]

Gonzalez having a mare today, needs to be quicker with his decision making

It’s looking one game too many for him. The boy looks like he needs a break.

 

[Blu1]

Why aren't we playing on the counter and still persisting with a high line

It’s mental isn’t it

 

[citymad]

What gets me is that palace are playing through ball game we should be playing for Haaland. For some reason, we refuse to play through the lines to Erl.

Its one of the toughest games all season. For you any acceptable scenario is to lead 3-0 up the halt fime. Its totally unrealistic, but you watch the game and expects exactly that. This the factual standard you base your judgments on.

Its stupid, is it not? So you the one that need to sort yourself up.

We been fighting and trying. They play deep and its very hard to build anything, no space. And they have few quality players on the counter. Thath why its one of the toughest games of the season

I’d read it but couldn’t be bothered to pick the grammar out of it, sorry.

I’m entitled to my opinion as you are, yours.

Agreed...not sure why some blues at it....winning, 8 points clear of 5th place, Villa losing...santa on the way, cmon blues smile.

Or people just want players who are very good, to play better than they are. Most of our issues this game are self-inflicted

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Just IMO a good portion of the whole side has looked pretty heavy-legged, not just NG.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Marmoush needs to come on for Foden

That would make us far more open and offer nothing.
We would be far better taking Tijani off, bolstering the midfield with Nico and playing RAN at lb.

 

[Paleblue2]

Foden not having a good game, twice in a week

 

[Bluearmy]

I know were winning but this is poor. Zero game management going on again!!

 

[pennblue]

They're just hacking at cherki

 

[Ryan.98.]

We are stiff

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

'And now City can break'. Good one commentator, we don't do that sort of thing.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

That's the Donnarumma Effect, forwards don't trust themselves and try to create better chances to score cause they "know" he'll probably save their shot on the run.

 

[super_city_si]

Glad to see our 2nd half is utter shite

Game Fookin management please pep

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Foden not having a good game, twice in a week

Sad but true

 

[citytill1die84]

Unlucky Reijnders

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Fucking Reijnders.
