Crystal Palace (H) Post Match Thread

With no silva and ken bernado or gundi need to step up both have been awful for a while. Foden is the nearest we have to silva and should start before gundi imo. Every player bar kdb was poor today similar to chavs away, a bit worrying

Pep made substitutions too late, especially KDB, KDB really sharpened the game.

I agree. We looked like we would score when he came on. I also thought Mahrez offered nothing whereas Sterling was a threat.

Pep decisions cost us today. The selection might have been the right decision with low risk but nevertheless we got caught by wonder goals and didn't have enough to turn it around. 9 times out of 10 we'd have beaten Palace with that team, but they smashed 2 in out of nowhere and we didnt have enough to pull it back.

Fuck off being clever..stones isn't a midfield player..
So name me one dipper midfielder who would get in ahead of either of the Silva's, Kev or Fern.
Been going to city since 61 ..and watched neatly every home game since then plus 100s of away games....you ever been yet

You're a bit aggressive, my friend. I didnt say that they were better than any of our midfielders. Read my post again. I said they were more solid in the middle and their midfield recruitment was very good.

The way their midfield is set up means that they are strong both in the middle and out wide. We aren't because we didn't recruit well (again in my opinion). We didn't really need Mahrez in my opinion and games like the Chelsea game could have done with 2 solid midfielders and then Kante would have been tracked properly instead of Leroy doing it.

I used to hold a season ticket and go with my dad if that makes you feel better, then I moved to Holland so it makes it a little harder.

Why Foden did not start today beats me.

I think their midfield is just workmanlike. It's just high energy players. They defend as a defence and midfield, and leave Salah to score the goals. Simple but effective
