Crystal Palace (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

errors cost us as per all season, honestly though at least it wasn't a defeat.

onto midweek where tbh rather we didn't risk anyone ahead of the derby
 
Not able to impose himself physically for that position. And God knows I've defended the man. But no, not there. You might say, well, Gundo, neither. And I'd agree with you.
Nunes can be much more useful out on the wing on in attacking midfield.

It's a long shot, but you know, something I've been thinking about for some time — Kev playing further back, in defensive midfield. He's such a superb reader of the game, it might be worth a punt. Over time, he's got to start playing deeper, anyway. The lung-busting attacking midfielder games over ninety minutes, those are finished. Pep's very good at reinventing players. This might be his latest.
I would try Johnny Stones when he is fit. Good defender and has the passing ability needed. Good football brain as well.
 
Not losing head mate,sick of the excuses.

The team is bang average. Hoping that viana can pull out few rabbits is 50/50.

I don’t blame pep or the players. Problems down to poor management.

Anyway, that’s me done.

Next up -:)
Yeah, not having a go, just think the excuses are fair enough. We got the timing wrong on the big rebuild by a year, and we are in an injury crisis that would derail any team's season and players look like they are holding off signing for us till there's movement on 115. Pep should have committed earlier, but we have him for two more seasons now.
 
I understand why he might want a small squad but it’s high risk - when you lose 6-7 players out or unfit it is disastrous. No five in a row this season but the last four have been wonderful.
Absolutely true, beyond my wildest dreams mate.

When the goings good, everything Erl touches turns to goals, Rico looks good, Kev looks a good. However we find out about players when the chips are down.

We got a shed load of cash for Hooolian, but didn't bother replacing him, then Bobb gets injured, shit happens.

Where the small squad and imo poor forward planning hits us is not having a replacement/ understudy for Rodri, not having a replacement striker, and allowing the midfield to age. I'd say the 2 most crucial players we need are clones for Rodri and Kev, that's really not hindsight, it's something that should have been addressed long before now.

It is going to be a slog this season, we need to get players in this January.
 
Every single team in the Premier League is "stronger" than #ManCity right now on set-pieces, says Pep Guardiola.

No shit Sherlock.

P45 for the set-piece coach.
Have we even got one?

Remember “we never score from a corner … score from a corner”
 
He did deserve to go. It was beyond stupid.

He needs to shut the fuck up, he isn’t a captain and his first yellow was for whining.

He clearly loves the club but as of today he’s nowhere near this level.

Walker is done. Just retire. At the very least be man enough to refuse the captaincy and focus on how bad you are yourself.

Full backs are killing us this season.

Heads are gone, look at the two minutes leading up to their second. Out of nowhere we couldn’t string two passes together. We can’t carry all of those players while they are underperforming. Josko played well but always has one mistake in him and savinho and Nunes largely invisible.

We’re almost at a point of chucking this season and using it to prep for other stuff.
What we prepping for?
Unless we buy 3 ir 4 in January, next season will be a rightoff also
 
Haven't seen it but good point in our quest to secure top four. Four in a row. Six out of seven. Injury ravaged. Get behind the lads. We will be fine. Grealish and Doku saved for the more important game on Wednesday.
A point at Palace, twice behind, seems a decent point to me in our current circumstances.
 
i don't get leaving two of our best players from Wednesday (Doku and Grealish) on the bench until the last few minutes?
 
Said it before and got laughed at, what Txiki has done is bordering negligence, the squad is absolutely the weakest I can remember in recent years. Feels like the year after Fergie won the title, if City don’t get a grip of the recruitment and stop concentrating on being the net spend kings it could get worse before it gets better.
