A 4-2 victory after being 2 down. If you didn’t / don’t enjoy matches / results like today: KISS MY ARSE. Fucking great day

It’s mental how many micro analyse a game like that instead of just enjoying it for what it is.
It boggles the mind.

What's the view on the disallowed Palace goal?

Tough titties is mine.

You been drinking?

It stops the screaming in my head

 

[Legal Alien]

GET IN CITY!!!

Not sure about going through that every week (totally pissed off at halftime to pure elation at the end) but bloody hell we put on a show and the lad Erling is something very special indeed.
I can't wait til he settles in LOVFL!!!

It was a pass, watch the highlights.

Thank you I thought so too , if that was the rags or scousers.....you just know it would be contender for goal of the season

You had to actually be at the game to see how bad we were in that first half. Bernado got us going in the second half with his persistence and then we started to play.

You're missing the point. The shit you get on the matchday thread beggars belief. You'd swear we had been relegated three times on the trot and lost every game from the start of the season if you took the name of the club away. It really is embarrassing.

When you say "how bad we were", depends what you compare it with. I watched the earlier Soton-rags game too and both of them were ten times worse. It's what we do over 90 minutes that counts, that's why we're top again (pending Arse result, which I haven't seen)..

Excellent fightback but the amount of goals we're conceding is a concern. West Ham and Bournemouth were cake walks and put up no opposition but games at the end of last season and this one show sides can score easily against us.

To be honest Palace offered nothing either. 26% possession and 2 shots! Unfortunately they led to goals which shouldn’t be the case. We need to cut out sloppy goals from very little.

Mad that a tap into an empty goal, a close range header and a one on one with the keeper equates to only 1.36 XG.

Mad that you (or anyone else) actually thinks this means anything. I’ll give you one metric: 4-2. The only metric.

Tough on them but their second shouldn't have stood as Cancelo got elbowed in the head before the corner, so what goes around, comes around!

Maybe its part of the masterplan to give sides that normally camp in their own half a false sense of security thinking that we can be beaten if they attack us

 

[bennyboy]

How was that not a foul just before their second goal.

I think it's a free kick if you obstruct the keeper from distributing the ball, If Ederson was to try and kick the ball out of his hands and a player jumps in front of him it's a foul, obstruction.
All a bit soft for me but it was a foul nonetheless.

 

[urban genie]

We were shite for most of the first half, only berny seemed arsed, and then he dragged us back into the game, walker, and dias were terrible, foden and kev abject

Let us not gloss over most of the players were sub par, berny and haaland dug us out of a bang average performance

 

[City Raider]

Won’t be convinced by Haaland til he’s scored at the other end

 

[youngbob]

Jesus.

 

[coolcity]

Not sure about that. Pretty sure the Palace player knocked him as he was hogging forward with the ball. Will see in the highlights I guess.

I assumed it was for impeding the keeper, which is foul play.

 

[The perfect fumble]

 

[coolcity]

I Thought Mahrez was our one shining light in the first half

A lot of people slating him on here but I thought he did well too. Three defenders to beat every time he got the ball, but did well with it with what space he had. Could have done with more support.

For me, KDB was off his game, saw a lot of the ball but seemed to be punting aimless shots in instead of his usual accurate passing game; obviously for Haaland to get on the end of but I'm not sure it's a better tactic.
