Good side.

I think there's a chance Palace come to play you know. They press incredibly aggressively at times, they may fancy their chances at catching us out in the same way Southampton did a few weeks ago.

Early goal will be important.

Advise caution, got to play your cards right

We’ve got be be so much better than last week. Come on you Dollies do your dealing.

I’m going for a sloppy 1-1 draw today, where we spunk away chance after chance and they snatch a goal.
If we move the ball quickly we will win. We still have this trait of winning the ball back after opponents overcommit on an attack, we go past their press, and even with an overload, turn about and come back to let them regroup. We do it so often is infuriating. You never see the dippers doing it. They get through on goal and they go for it and more than not, they put it away.
We MUST improve on our chance conversion rate. It could cost us at the end.

Your a cheerful chap.

Don’t undermine palace don’t think there a bad side

Feel that Kevs poor form is down to injuries, Martinez playing him with ankle ligament damage could of wrecked his season & feel he's gonner ruin the back end of Kevs career like Vinny & then add in a lack of preseason for Kev.
I'd start him on the bench & look to bring him on after an hour if we're not winning.

Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo Gundogan
Mahrez Jesus Foden

Bring an injured and out of form player on if we need to turn a result round?

Sounds legit.

This match has me worried, there's not one of us who can say the boys are clicking right now. CP is a tough away match and some of City's best players are seriously out of form. If I'm Pep I am playing Gundogan, Rodri and Bernardo in CM. Something is up with Kev, I'm sure he'll find his form but let's let him find it at home, City need to stay on the heels of the scousers.
