Crystal Palace (A) - Sat 7th Dec, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

We might need a defender in January. That defence is not solid.

Or two?

 

[mosssideblue]

So Kevin, who looked like he could do with a rest after the Forest game, starts (so he'll be exhausted for the Juve game), but Jack and Doku, who clearly still had plenty of legs and played great, are benched.

Anyone who still doesn't see that Pep is fucking up City's season with his shitty lineups needs an appointment at Specsavers.

 

[Gray]

You lot are mainly fucking idiots who don’t know anything about football conditioning, injuries and fitness.

Thing Jack should be in the team, he was superb on Wednesday.

 

[Kippax77]

That's some injury list.
Not that the media will mention it

 

[bluenova]

nonsense, doku and grealish got a game under them and looked, fitness returns by playing, if anyone needs a rest it's berny who hasn't stopped all season.

Clearly that's only the case if you have 100% recovered from whatever injury you had.

 

[mosssideblue]

I don't understand this logic? He played a full 90 midweek so why exactly is he no longer fit for another 60 or so? He's a professional athlete for Christ's sake.

picked up a knock in training

 

[heslops barnet]

Bit lightweight that team, but hopefully we'll do the business.

Might be watching from behind the sofa again!

 

[clarion]

Are you really stupid enough to believe Pep is that stupid ?These early team announcements still catiching me out. I should be baling out from Match threads before the teams to miss the idiocy.

No he is not that stupid. He is that stubborn.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

Obviously Pep knows better…..

Judging by City's recent run, no he doesn't. Any other manager would be getting the deserved criticism at this point. But I realise Pep is an untouchable god to most here, so have at it.

 

[Really_here]

The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome

Over the last few years the outcome has been pretty positive hasn't it? `

 

[mosssideblue]

Dropping Kev or Bernardo would mean resting.
Dropping Jack and Doku is the new level of overthinking farts.

Give it a rest, you have no idea behind the thinking behind the line up

 

[mosssideblue]

FFS. He’s coming back from injury and played 3 days ago.We have a massive game in 4 days. . We pay staff big bucks to make these calls.

Wasting your time. Let them embarrass themselves

Apparently we’ve the largest/strongest/most expensive squad in the league….

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Thing Jack should be in the team, he was superb on Wednesday.

Which was 2 days ago and his first game back. Use your brain.

 

[Mr Fraser]

Pre match thread is as toxic as the match thread. So not returning

 

[I'm Blue]

They had the violins out yesterday for Spursy on Sly cos of their injury list.

When you think everyone else in the room is an idiot is says a lot more about you than it does them :)

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Fuck that. I cant go to a pub for a city game round here, dont fancy listening to cult members and rags telling me we're cheats and getting relegated

Thank God there are only a few of them around here.
I haven't seen a rag shirt on display in a good while.
I'm thinking of starting a go fund me page for them

ok
fuck off

Dickheads. Isn’t it fucking obvious?
