Crystal Palace (H) - Post Match

Couldn't fully blame VAR (we did our best in throwing the game on our own. Although harsh on Ferny) for that but it would of been great if we could nicked the win (for a change). Still at least we got something.
 
Cannot see a game out these days. Newcastle, Wolves and now Palace.
Stones has to go, his already fragile confidence will now be shot to bits.
Midfield lacking speed and stamina today and based on form our front three should be Jesus, Aguero and Mahrez.
 
Gundogan should not be allowed to put on a city shirt again, unless it’s for a charity match. He must have incriminating pics of Pep, because he still plays him, even though he slows our game pace drastically.

Pep once again fucked up with his team selection. Picking his pet players. The players who have performed well lately were rewarded with a place on the bench. It's been one shit show after another. Whether pep stays or goes at the end of this season is probably irrelevant now. Getting out manoeuvred by one failed manager after another. Nothing lasts forever. It's been fantastic but the ships taking on water now and there's not much sign of it been plugged. Today is all on Pep I'm afraid. He picks the guilty parties time and time again.

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.
 
Only we could do that. Pathetic.

Why isn’t everyone behind the ball at 2-1? How is Zaha 1-1 with Stones. Bet he couldn’t believe his luck when he saw it was him. The first goal was a joke and the second worse.

We are shit at defending. That’s the top and bottom of it. That’s 7 times we have conceded 2 or more goals this season. Almost twice what we did in the two seasons combined before.

Why was Sterling playing? Did the square root of fuck all again. Bernardo Gundogan and Silva too. Pep dropped a bollock not sticking with Mahrez for this one.

Poor result but won’t matter a jot at the end of the season.

Only positive from today was the performance of Mendy.

Guardiola is making mistakes in selection and substitution. It’s not the first time he’s made a change in the period between scoring late and the opposition starting again. He should have waited and seen how tired Cancelo and Stones were before withdrawing Sterling. He knows they’re lacking game time and they were out on their feet. He should have waited and allowed the kick off to happen before making any change. That would have been better game management. Just think he gets too wrapped up in the moment at times.

Don’t we all!
 
It's one thing losing to a better team but this season how are we supposed to fathom what the fuck is going on? Those bin dipping bastards are laughing all the way to the Premiership, not because they are that good but because we are below par. Norwich, Wolves, Manure and Cyrstal (meth) Palace all shit teams giggling at us!! Shocking really for the investment made.
 
Sounding like a stuck record here but we're just not good enough defensively, Stones never progressed in two seasons. Why does Pep choose in my opinion to be so arrogant with his team selection. Mahrez has played well last half a dozen games, sadly Raheem hasn't since we'll before Christmas, worked last week playing both Jesus and Sergio who once again pulled us back into it. So many things wrong today, we knew how Palace would play against us, but still we persist with Gundoghan, way too slow in the middle, KDB played well first half out of it the second and why bring off Bernardo, why not Sterling. We've all known for so long their seems to be no real voice on the pitch and leaders and the equaliser proved that without doubt, why of why were we pressing when we should be defending collectively.
 
On a positive note, least 2-2 draw isn't a loss. Yes it is disappointing to concede a late goal late on but it could have been a lot worse without Sergio. We desperately need to sign a centre back because we are so vulnerable at the back and other teams exploit this!! Onwards and Upwards
