Crystal Palace (A) I PL I Post Match Thread

We are making so many mistakes but if it wasn’t for a jammy own goal for Arsenal yesterday, we would be top

The good news is we are scoring lots of goals again. That always helps.

We are just a bit lightweight in the middle for me. Teams get from A to B a bit too easily at times for my liking.

Good solid away win today. Palace good 1st half and Wharton was dangerous with his through balls but once we got 2nd goal thought we controlled the game comfortably. Big improvement on Fulham a few weeks ago.

This is one of the worst pitches in England to play on, the stadium is so narrow it hardly allows for any diagonal balls. The match was painful to watch on TV, painful shots, the sun was hitting one side of the pitch. Unwatchable for both players and fans. I'd say we've absolutely nailed one of the toughest away games

I don't think the players were watching it on TV.

Second game in a row against us that Henderson should have been sent off

To me this is the Laurent Charvet kit

Settled team again bar Doku helps with transitions especially attack.

Burn out if the other players who came on against leverkusen can’t or won’t step up.

Marmoush and Tiny come to mind.

Reilly and nunes doing their bit as is cherki and nico. Time the other two joined the fray. Also could be doing wit Ait showing up.

Oreilly is undroppable in this form. Lad is gold dust. Another stand out academy player who took his time and chance.

Don't we miss "alternative commentary"?

We can't be making that many then.

Strange game that Fulham game ... for an hour we were basking in total control, followed by a dreadful half an hour where we definitely weren't!

Apparently we’re cheating diving bastids according to the Palace fans forum

3-0 isn't a full reflection of the game. Palace have been wasteful recently. But it is a massive 3 points for City.

If a midfielder could be brought in during the January window, it might be enough to see City pip Arsenal.

Pep has settled on a back four and is now getting a good amount of output out of Doku, Cherki, Foden and Haaland. A lot is being asked of Nico González in midfield. He wasn't poor today, but did get caught out in the buildup to Wharton cracking the post. It's probably the one area that needs a lick of paint.

Rag!

last time I'll give you but why this time?

 

[David White]

Fabulous result. I was worried about this one as they can be a really decent side. A couple of silly mistakes but fortunately we got away with it and quality shone through.

Properly chuffed with that 3 points.

 

[bluemurray]

Nice solid win - second league win on the bounce against teams many were expecting us to struggle against... 6-points, 6-goals and non conceded!

Did we turn our own hot water supply off then?

Thick Croydon drum shagging cunts.

Lovely jubbly. I've got a feeling, as the Beatles once sang.

and everybody had a wet dream!

Even at 2.0 up, I could never settle; We had to kill the game and get the 3rd and we did, would have liked Savinho to finish it but he got the 2nd prize of the pen, City are getting there and starting to build something

I got the feeling that Fodens goal knocked the stuffing out of Palace, and their general play after that goal was rushed, untidy and panicky, they knew we were edging towards the final third of the game ..... they started to misplace passes, and leave huge gaps as they desperately tried to salvage the game knowing full well that a 3rd city goal would definitely mean the end of things for them .... Savinho must have charged from near the halfway line straight through them for that penalty.

We can do it.

We weren't amazing or owt, but I think we're slowly getting there. Cherki adds so much going forward.
