We’re “shit” ; finished; aging players; Pep having a breakdown; poor Board members……
But hey- we’re only 2 points behind super f*****g Arsenal.

Er, we were good against Forest with some very good individual performances. Far from it yesterday with probably only Dias who you could say was good.

We were much better yesterday than within that run of five defeats in a row.

Anyway, only one defeat in four now, our form is turning around!

Amazing how many people on here are so quick to try and act the clever sod and really make themselves look a fool as if they had read the replies they would realise we were talking about the rags game next week and Juventus game mid week.

Oh dear!

That's a large slice for me in this instance then.

We always seem to struggle against Palace, so getting a result against them is always good.

We are making basic mistakes lately though and it's costing us.
Their first goal is one example, we give the ball away and suddenly we're under pressure, Walker plays them onside, Rico is no where near his man and a simple through ball costs us a goal.

The number one thing for a defender is do your job, you have to know where your man is at all time and when they attack, mark him.How hard is that, I was taught that in the infants!

We can thank Ruben for keeping it 1-0, as he was putting his body on the line as they were cutting through us at will.

Erling was unlucky when put through by Kev, the commentators saying it was a great save, fuck off, it hit him in the head, he got so lucky.

We then scored a simple but good goal, a great cross and a nice header from Erling.

I thought we were controlling the play after that but then they score a simple goal too. No-one marking their CH and he has a free header. How the fuck does that happen?!

I have a big problem with our marking at corners.
Not just yesterday but in every game.
When the opposition have a corner, i always thought the CH marks their CF and our CF marks their CH. Then again, we always used to put men on the posts too!

But anyway, yesterday their CH scores and last week VVD has a couple of free headers. On both occasions they were supposed to be marked by Walker and Erling doesn't even seem to be in the mix. I don't get that.

Why isn't Erling marking the CH? For his size Erling really needs to be more of a factor in both boxes at corners.

Anyway, we scored a nice equaliser, good finish by Rico and we hung on for a point.

We are still playing decent football in possession, but we're flogging Gundo, Bernie and Rico and as none of them are a defensive midfielders, i see the upcoming games playing out in the same way as this recent run until we get Kovacic and hopefully a new DM in January.

We have a big week coming up and i hope we can get the two wins we badly need.

COME ON CITY!!!!

Agree with most of this….however we cannot expect Rico to anticipate a bad/sloppy pass which places him out of position and leaves us outnumbered on the counter attack.

As the inverted full back he is expected to make up the numbers when we have the ball and are attacking….its the system that’s at fault and maybe we should be reverting to a flat back four until we have the right players available.

The inverted system can work but not when we are constantly giving up possession so easily.

Defensively we were a shambles, but that was understandable to some extent with key players missing. However, going forward we looked lively and caused Palace plenty of problems.

Which bits are shite? I take it you think our players look 100 per cent fit? You don't think we are getting beaten by pace in midfield? Why is it we are losing so many games then dickhead - are we just unlucky and eventually our luck will turn? Do you think we will win the title with Nunes, Gungogan, Walker and Lewis in the form they are in?

Some people know fuck all about football and you're one of them you bell end.

Problem currently is that aging, squad numbers and injuries means that games like Wednesday in Turin are killing us. We could probably do with going out of Europe early to help us preserve top 4.

Yes we need to get knocked out in Europe to make sure we qualify for Europe ;-)

You’re on a roll. You’re Dale Carnegie, and I claim my £5!

Bad Saturday night, bad Sunday, or are you always this erudite?

Excellent English, perfect grammar and who knew “spanner” was a proper noun?

I learn something new every day on here.
