Shots fired. ;-)

Erm, didn’t Palace draw at Dippers a couple of weeks ago?

They did. But they missed a golden opportunity to get all three points, in my humble opinion...

Stuff such as building a solid structure, "investing" in set pieces, and relying on opposition losing their composure, do not present a viable strategy. They had no chance against second half's City, yet I did not see any intention to add or change anything in their game. And after 3-2 it was a case of too little too late...

I do not underestimate them, not for a moment, but I was confident we could come back. It was about us, not them...

Jesus, talk about Jackie 'keep them in love' and Hyde! I'm getting on a bit now, grey at the temples and drinking like a fish, if I see this city squad out in town then any of you owe me a pint. Or a new set of undies. Or a new wife. Burned through them all today.

I'll choose to read this as the game we overcame the perceived weaknesses in our game. Or landed from Barcelona at 15:50. Either way, next game get your crap together from the start blues.

P.S. Oh, and palace keeper, you can have the ball as long as you like now. Well, a substitute ball, Erling's kind of attached to the original.

P.P.S. I'd quite like a blonde, cheers city.

P.P.P.S. To the lad near me who said Pep out at half time,.. yeah ok.

We’re so, so good. It’s mad that I felt confident despite being 2-0 down.

Same here

Meh! Sterile industrialisation, nothing to get excited about. ;)

 

[Chi-town blues]

Alvarez got bit of tevez vibes in him . Deserves start next game .

 

[deano ou812]

Absolutely made up after being 2 down and stunning comeback second half with Haaland bagging a hat trick gonna be putting big numbers up if he continues and stays injury free,now don’t want to be a doom and gloom but clearly a few things aren’t right especially at the back we can’t keep giving teams a head start as sooner or later it catches up with you anyhow onto Wednesday now and N.forest ..

The scary thing is that the players are still getting used to Haaland and the type of runs he makes. Once they get used to his runs, he'll be unplayable. That 3rd goal was unreal; pointed to where he wanted the ball despite defenders around him, then confident and competent enough to hold them off and coolly slot in the corner. Generational talent.

But he doesn't fit in City's system according to the rags I know

 

[blue whippet]

What was up with Kyle? Stormed straight off shouting at everyone. Furious.

Probably thinking better get away from Haaland as he kicked his hatrick ball into the crowd.
