Crystal Palace (H) - Post Match

[Colin Bells Boots]

Why change a winning formula from last week? Gundogan & Silva does not work as a 2. Bernardo is much more effective through the middle. Mahrez our 2nd best player last week gets benched.

How many times when those two play together has it been obvious that we play far too slowly - to the supporters if not Pep

Ederson - 5
Cancels -4
Fern -6
Stones - 4
Mendy - 5
Gundog - 5
Sterling - 5
Bernardo - 6
Serg - 8
Sterling - 4
De Bruyne - 6

4 or 5 out there who I just don’t rate. Been a flat season. Atmosphere was shocking.

Our vulnerability in defence is extraordinary for a supposed top level club. I’d fancy literally any team to score against us. Palace are the lowest scorers in the league: even they banged in 2 and were unlucky not to get a pen. It’s absolutely abysmal

PEP We tried to do everything. The spirit was there. We tried and tried. We came back and we dropped points. But it’s football.

PEP We played similar to the way we did at Villa with @benmendy23 attacking down the left and players in the middle. We struggled a little for the first 10 mins of the second half but then I think we did everything. Palace didn't do much but they got a point.

@least BM put in a decent shift today...there's hope after all...

How the fuck is that clear and obvious? The refereeing in this country is shocking at best and corrupt at worst.

Hate to say this but Stones isn’t good enough. I don’t know what happened to him but he’s got a mistake or two in him every single game. Don’t think he’s at it psychologically, you could tell from his reaction after their equaliser.

They had two fucking chances all game and scored both. Inexcusable letting them have the second one after we’d fought so hard to turn the game around. Felt like a kick in the teeth.

Thank fuck Laporte is almost back.

Is that the same Mendy who went backwards for 95% of his passes??

He put loads of crosses in today.

 

[B\connellblue]

We should 100% replace him with someone nowhere near as good.

How can it be on Pep with so much possession and so much dominance?

VAR goes against us again, not his fault. Players scores and own goal, not his fault.

We battered them and we win that easily 99 times out of 100.

Nope he sent out the team with the pedestrian gundogan, the totally inept John stones and someone that's masquerading as raheeem sterling. We have lost 5 times already this season, we haven't managed more than 3 wins in a row yes that's 3 in a row. Lost to absolute muck on several occasions. You can have all the possession you want, not much good if you don't make it count. If we continue like this we could end up losing 8 league games this season. How would you feel about that.? The annoying part is it was all so unnecessary.

 

[BlueAnorak]

On the plus side, Mendy had a good game.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

In some ways this feels like 12-13 all over again.

Today's winner of the Internet, iiiiisssss

Only well finish further behind the dippers, than we did the rags.

Never again Silva D and Mr Bang Average 8 on the same starting eleven, again
Sterling is so far away from ANY kind of form, it's untrue.
VAR got the decision right. If that happened against us, we'd all be going mental.
Foden needs minutes in this side. He's wasted, sitting with a coat on.

 

[BosnianBlue]

spurs game copy pasted.

We're fucking idiotic team at times.

Mendy had his best game for City though, he was fucking boss. Gundogan was great too.
