Crystal Palace (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Very good that, could have gone under at 0-2 but nice to see the fight. Gundo and kovacic outstanding as was O'Reilly. Honourable mention to the pretend city fans in the match day thread, they never disappoint.

Some interesting stats

Games in all competitions this season where Kovacic, De Bruyne and Gundogan started as the three in the centre.

I'll see you all in the Everton pre-match thread where people continue to be "baffled" by Pep picking them again.

Think it’s more when Bernardo gets thrown in there and we look 10x slower. Gundo has gradually got better this season.

What a weird game. Well done to the old timers (particularly kdb) who turned things around for us.

 

[CityFan1970]

McCoist prick. City probably deserved it.

Kept going on about 'if it had been 3-0' and the Lewis 'handball'.

 

[Nascent Blues]

One thing I noticed was the number of quick, forward balls through the middle, something that's been missing of late. We carved them open several times today from these decisive passes and they had no answer to it.

 

[RayCTID]

Overall a satisfying win plenty of encouraging signs with the old character returning.

 

[Keeper!]

Huge win against the PL form team, and in the circumstances of the first 20 mins , remarkable

 

[WallyA]

Love the system with O Reilly wide and Marmoush cutting in. Gundogan covering for O Reilly is vital.

KdB pulled them back in.

Nico G is why the midfield trio works, cannot be dropped anymore.

 

[Chak19]

Well that was a great response after another poor start, maybe they finally realised playing in the Europa League isn't that attractive, totally destroyed the third best defence in the league, but we need to start better in the rest of the games, can't make comebacks every game.

 

[Goro]

Well that should shut a few moaning cunts up.

5 goals and they said it was the wrong selection, one even said the worst in pep’s reign.

Clown world.

Get in City!!!!

pep did well to shut them up

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Great stuff, didn’t see that coming at 2-0 down! Should give us a real boost for the run-in.

Just said same, infact I was expecting a rinse n repeat of 0-4 v Spuds.

 

[The Blue Eh]

Too bad Kev’s legs have gone. Was expecting him to put the team on his shoulder and give us a MoM performance, after that poor start. Oh well, roll on Everton.

 

[Banshee]

How many more times can Neville mention the City fans booing..pathetic

 

[jimharri]

Fair play to the lads I think they proved they can still do it! Great win and hopefully begins the run we need to clinch CL football. From there the rebuild continues!

Those posters I mentioned pre match seemed to disappear after the first half hour.

Yes I did too but my god what was that first 20 mins? I nearly posted 0-4 but I stopped myself and said "wait..this is City after all" I really didn't see a comeback especially after they nearly went 3 up. My Thai wife put me to shame , she was convinced we could come back and bless her she was right .. she was ripping me at the end. Trying to explain the vagaries of being a blue of 55 year just didn't cut it with her..ha ha!

 

[fathellensbellend]

Where did that come from, delighted to be proved wrong, desire in abundance

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Did not see this coming at 0-2…KdB dug deep - just like Villa at home to win the league - and we were unstoppable !

 

[Stoned Rose]

Wracking my brains over that. How the fuck did we pull that out? Got very emotional watching Kev - stretched every inch of himself to win us that.

He’ll feel like shit for 3 days now bless him.

Funny how that works huh? Haha
