Crystal Palace (H) | Post Match Thread

I never look at the match day thread but I did wonder at half time how depressing it was?

We weren't great in the first half but the score line was freakish. Palace fluked an opening goal but for both their goals the problem for me was the unnecessary conceding of a freekick and a corner. I had a bad feeling before both were taken. I never felt though like we would lose and thankfully City gave a totally dominant second half performance.

I don't want them to have to make a habit of being comeback kings but what a nice addition to the armoury it is. Of course the key addition to the armoury is Alfie's lad.

The corner that led to their second should not have been given, as one of the Palace players - I forget which one - fouled Len just before the ball went out.
 
We need to sort out the defence ,we are conceding to many goals .
It was a good comeback again but against the better teams we will be severley punished . Ederson also needs to improve ,his reactions look slow & he was lucky with the disallowed goal .

He was poor as were others. I haven't read all the posts but I don't think he's taking the most flack, but he had a bad game. It's a fine line, was the ball still under his control or had he released it? Irrelevant now as it was disallowed anyway. MOTD asked if Haaland was lucky not to be sent off for the high boot that caught the Palace defender. I thought it was more the defender stopped his head towards his foot and the ball, but maybe some refs would have preferred nudged it more harshly. It's not his fault he has such long legs lol.

Sent off? Are there no limits to the levels of absurdity some will go to when it relates to City? That guy milked the situation like a desperate dairy farmer.
 
Erling is something else. Just unreal. Bernardo again showing why we can not afford to lose him. He’s unique and we should count ours lucky that we get to watch him.

I don’t want to sound like I’m flapping or this is hyperbole but although we won yesterday and got a decent point at Newcastle I’m really concerned about he way we are conceding chances and goals. Something needs to change and change quick. Haaland dug us out of a whole yesterday and no doubt will continue to do so. I think Gomez looks ok but for me we could do with a left back. Bit of experience and know how. I just think we look to easy to attach against and this is a carry over from the back end of last season.

I have a real concern if things don’t change we are going to get dicked 4 or 5 by someone soon. We have a chance to open up a real lead over the others as Liverpool and Chelsea seem to not be up to the races just yet. Spurs look to have a very good squad and manager.
We need to tighten up and stop giving the opposition hope against us.

The defence isn’t that bad, Ederson is fine. We all knew when we bought Haaland ,playing a number 9 would mean sacrificing some of the control. The tight defence was always down to the control from the false 9.
Obviously set piece defence can be improved ,but we will concede more set pieces and goals from breaks purely because we are playing with a pure number 9. We knew that and hopefully the extra goals will be worth that sacrifice of control. Not to say we can’t work on tightening up against getting countered a bit more.

Absolutely no hard feelings fella. Yesterday was a great reason to get pissed. Have a good one. Del :)
