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

It’s more Lewis I’m frustrated about. He’ll be targeted and rightly so, poor defender and not good enough all round. In my opinion anyway.

He asks for the ball in risky areas when he hasn’t got the strength or control to keep it. Hope I’m proved wrong but he and Walker being in the side worries me.

 

[Brendan110_0]

Feel like sticking pins in my eyes every time he picks Walker just fucking why can he not see it he's a disaster waiting to happen

Give over.

I forgot to say, in Pep I trust. He knows what he is doing. :-)

Hard one to call. I think deep down Pep knows this ageing and injury hit squad can't do another title slog. That leaves the champions league and fa cup. I'm not sure we are good enough to win the champions league but who knows, stay in it, get everybody back fit and it's possible. We have to stay in the top four too. Personally I will be surprised if we win anything this season but I'm a bloody pessimistic glass half empty old time Blue lol. Again I'd be delighted to be completely wrong.

I agree. CL you never know. Depends if we sign anyone and they bed in quickly. FA cup - can’t say I’m that fussed either way on that one and we almost always get to the semi final so probably a chance in that and in the league it’s top 4 which is a lot easier to do with 24 games left. Once we get Kovacic back and make a signing or two I’m sure we will do a bit better. Until then, it will be hit and miss and can see us dropping more points over the next 5/6 games.

I can`t understand some of the negativity as I`m certain some of you have forgotten we have a big mid week game in the CL.

 

[clarion]

Two of our best players the other night, and he drops them.

I remember similar stuff when Mancini dropped Dzeko after scoring 4 goals away at Spurs.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Let’s fucking go, 3-1 City

 

[bluethai]

A similar lineup that led to consecutive poor results just a few weeks ago, well, hopefully, it will deliver a different outcome today then!

 

[cookster]

Lewis being scapegoated again I see.

Imagine if we had lost our last game

Would rather prioritise Premier League than Champions League which we definitely won’t win …..

 

[stonerblue]

All those moaning and slagging off players, just fuck off.
Come on City.

'it is what it is .........'

 

[citytill1die84]

It is what It is, we can't help the injury situation. It's a better line-up than what we started with at Anfield. Let's just see how it goes and get behind them.

 

[mosssideblue]

Says a lot about the squad doesn't it?

Squad isn’t the problem, injuries are

no way there is a bigger chance to win a premier league than champions league atm.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

I have. Have you seen Peps comments? Did you listen to Peps press conference yesterday? So again. I’ll ask, how are we prioritising Juve over today?

I've seen them mate but we're in a bad spot here and I think Jack and Jeremy can pull up their boots for a couple weeks and play through some soreness and knocks for the club. We've wrapped them in cotton wool long enough.

Smells like not fancying Selhurst Park in a storm to me, I feel like Peps not throwing them under the bus to the press but it must be exasperating. He was talking up Jack in the middle the day before and seemed like he was planning on continuing with it.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Win this and we are 2nd overnight

 

[Blue Til Death]

All those moaning and slagging off players, just fuck off.
Come on City.

Well said mate, fed up of the twats moaning and slagging the team off..!

 

[Sky Blue]

All those moaning and slagging off players, just fuck off.
Come on City.

Just got in to see the shitshow on here. Might go back to the play centre with my granddaughter and that was bad!
