while i dont disagree with you, Stones is never ever fit for more than a few games at a time....

And Lewis is a major weak point so he shouldnt be anywhere near the starting 11 ...so as poor as Gvardiol has been he is still a better option...rico lewis cannt defend and he is openly being targeted by opposition.....

Foden needs to play despite his poor form.......but Im not sure that is going to change as I thnk something else is going on there.....there were rumours before the start of the season that his persona life wasnt great and he had messed up shall we say

Foden is fucking ILL !!

I think Txiki is leaving at the right time

well that was just after the treble. he didnt and now him and his team being comfortable got us into his position. even the previous news that Berrada was helping him a lot with transfers and negotiations he left about a year ago and spent some time on gardening leave yet no one brought on to replace him either. thats kind of the mentality recently on the playing squad too. look at Alvarez gone, he would have had plenty of minutes and goals and assists but who is replacing his minutes and G+A from last year? Rico Lewis? fucking hell.
 
If only Rodri is missing, we have a decent chance against any team, even if we are not favourites. But if Stones, Ake, Akanji (3 from our main defenders in the Treble season), Foden, Kovacic, Bobb are also missing, plus Grealish and Doku not completely fit yet, then a point at Palace is more than decent.

You know when we resigned Gundi everyone thought it was a shrewd signing me included. I love the guy but he has been a weak imitation of himself when he was at his majestic peak.

In away we are lucky to have him. In a way it’s an indictment of our recruitment.

Not saying ya all his fault but, on current form, he is a big part of the problem. Think so many of our defensive issues are a trickle down ftom a weak midfield/missing Rodri.

I think sentiment got the better of far too many people in regards to Gundo coming back, even though they'd hate to admit it.

Watching it live I actually thought Rico did commit the foul, Silly to give the ref a decision to make when you lunge in like he had done on a yellow.

It was the wrong decision unfortunates, Just wish he'd stayed on his feet though.

Agree, I can see why the ref gave it.
After that VAR can't intervene on yellows so we have to accept it.

Is Issa Kabore that much worse than Walker, genuinely asking.

Saw the line-up didn't bother watching, Walker, Lewis, Gvardiol + Gudogan and Nunes in Midfield, recipe for disaster. Get used to it, this is the standard for the rest of the season, we'll have constant injuries and our razor-thin squad will be ran ragged. Don't expect any signings in Jan from the board.

You didn’t bother with a City game because you didn’t like the line-up?

Wait, you didn’t watch a City game, as a City fan?

Good night.

This group of players have given absolutely everything these last few years and deserve some slack.

Loads of factors conspiring against us. Our injuries are a joke. Perhaps the biggest one of all though is that we seem to have run out of steam. It’s almost inevitable.

Season after season there’s been a target. No-ones done 100 points.

No-one done a domestic treble.

Club never won a CL.

Throw in a treble.

No-one done 4 in a row.

It’s been relentless and I’m not sure what mountain we were expected to climb this season. Whatever it was, injuries have put paid to it. One of them impossible to overcome.

So it’s gonna be a long season, filled with games like today.

I don’t care. They deserve our slack.

It's the post-match thread, not a summary of the past few seasons.

Exactly

It becomes structural if several players are missing as well and the replacements are nowhere near.

That 11 we had out today was full of internationals, there's nobody on earth that can read the two team lineups and say it's even close to being equal. The setup is the problem, that'd why we didn't win and that's why we continue to drop points against vastly inferior sides.

So many balls given away. Happy to come away with a draw to be honest. Gundogan looked like his former self. Rico loves to fall down, he just isn’t physically capable at this level. I love how people think our squad over the years has been overly stacked with talent but this is pretty much the same team bar 1 or 2 players.

Haaland also cannot play every game, even if he doesn’t get hurt, he may need a rest, what was the plan once we let Alvarez leave ?

Bobb was the plan.
