Look on the bright side, at least Ole is keeping his job for now.

At this rate he'll get manager of the month before Pep.

Whatever anyone says we are still: THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND, IN ALL THE WORLD.

Ouch.

Happy I went to Tony's chippy and missed the 1st goal then stayed drinking on the concourse for the majority of the 2nd half. Swings and roundabouts innit...

Think we have the best keeper in the league if I am honest

And a player to slide those balls through for our striker, hello Merlin and Kun

Lack of a striker not the problem today. The inability to pass to each other cost us dearly

Can only agree with that especially the 1st 45 minutes. The front 5 seemed to take turns in misplacing basic passes. There was one where Bernado totally bisected 2 of our players and passed it out of play. De Bruyne was woefully poor - why doesn't he shoot anymore? Second half was better but in truth it had to be.

Pep and Tixi Messi obsession is to blame for us having no current striker.

We spent over 2 Seasons chasing him, only for him to end up at PSG in the end.

At least now we have to move on from him.

A lot of hard work over the 1st 9 games of the season has been pissed up the wall this afternoon.
We did the hard work and fucked it up on a home banker. Oh well, need to beat utd next week to get back on track.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Always going to be difficult once you are a goal down against a team set up to defend, then the silly tackle for the sending off really buggered things up. Started off the second half really well with a front three of Foden, Grealish and Jesus with a well taken finish by Jesus being ruled out because Phil's knee was over the line. That knock us back a bit but the substitutions really slowed us down and allowed Palace back into the game.
The last word is about Marriner who was woeful all game, not arguing about the sending off, but too many of his other decisions were terrible and to book the keeper for time wasting with five minutes left, when it was the one occasion that he wasn't, was stupid. He should have been booked after ten minutes to let him know that it wouldn't be tolerated.

Not seen the game, doesn't sound like I missed much. Tbh I had a bad feeling about today, Palace have a decent record against us. Laporte it seems had a shocker, Stones needs to be given a long run in the team. Very disappointing result and a big improvement is required next Saturday
