A quick check of results (apologies if I missed a result, multi tasking)

Dippers last 10. 1 defeat, 1 draw

City last 10, 1 defeat, 2 draws!
 
I actually liked the line up, but KdB False 9, Foden LW and Grealish LCM (which then lets Bernie play RCM) is my preference, I think it suits the players better.

Foden and Grealish could swap at will.

Watch the match again and listen out for a chorus of bluemoon which was clearly turned down by Sly.

Sky and BT are constantly doing that at Selhurst to all away fans. It’s as if they don’t want the band geeks to be interrupted.

Brighton (yes, Brighton) fans didn’t stop singing there earlier in the season and every few seconds the volume was being tampered with to make the Palace fans sound louder.

It’s a strange one. If you’ve ever been to Selhurst you’ll know their atmosohere isn’t that good, it’s just a small group of them in the end behind the goal that constantly sing (sometimes the entire bottom tier joins in) but the rest of the ground are silent… but the TV makes Palace sound like prime Legia Warsaw.

I agree with this.

Foden was arguably the best left forward in Europe last season. Neither Sterling nor Grealish are better than him there but he’s seldom used there now.

At Old Trafford this season and Paris at home last season (two games that stick out), we used Bernardo and de Bruyne as two false 9s rotating around the pitch. I think that’s when we’re at our best.

Im not particularly keen on Foden as the striker.

Nope. The fact we don’t have a striker is putting players out of position and unsettling the balance.

So if you were picking a team say for a champions league final
Who would you play on the left
Would Jack be in your starting 11
 
This confirms what it felt like watching it. I've seen us play 0-0s where we can't break down teams, last night wasn't one of them. 4 or 5 clear cut chances that really, really should have been a 2-0 or 3-1. If we play like we played last night while, importantly, taking our chances we have a very good chance of winning the league.

Oh stop bleating just because we didn’t win. Viera’s job is the get CP points by any means necessary. He did his job.

You say “he did his job” by getting CP a point by any means necessary. So would you like him to bring those tactics to City?

Where did I say we’ve struggled lol? it is a common fact that the squad is unbalanced and people are playing out of position because we have no striker.

I don’t see how we are unbalanced or which players are out of position

we missed some gilt edged chances. If we put one away. we would have created more as their resilience ebbed.

palace are a team of athletes and if one thing worried me. It was the fact we put everything into the game. We ran and ran and grafted for the full ninety
So, we will see if that’s a good or a bad thing

No we won’t know so we can’t say whether we were right or wrong not to change it. We might have changed it and lost possesion for them to score and win or we might have won or it might not have changed anything. It ‘s a pointless debate really.

It is not. That team could have played another 94 minutes and would not have scored. Jesus is a completely different player to Grealish, and might well have scored within 5 minutes of being on the pitch.

It needed changed up to break the deadlock. Didn't happen, so it is was the wrong thing to do.

Might have been , might not.
 
20/20 hindsight now but we needed an early goal to get the fuckers out of their shell and stop the choreographed play acting. That Kayoute was a prize ****, he feigned injury for three minutes then within minutes was hacking down KBD. The number of off the ball incidents was appalling. Viera kicking the ball away in the last minutes saw him drop in my estimation. The pitch was like a dried out building site, obviously fucked up to stop our passing game.
but, that’s all done, let’s knuckle down and put them fucking lickspittle bastards in their rightful place.
CITY!

Has done before, has the ability to do it, fresh legs against tired opposition. Literally happens all the time in football. All, the, time. That's why managers bring on players when they need goals.
