Crystal Palace PL (A) | Man of the Match

[Vienna_70]

It’s very rare I disagree with one of your posts Vienna but I thought Rodri’s passing was poor second half. John Stones for me, which will cheer Eccles Blue up

I thought Dave broke up a lot of their attacks.

I did have John as a close second.

Mahrez the only one who looked likely to score

Where to start , the passing from defence was pedestrian at best , we had zero urgency in transition . Foden was non existent for ninety nine percent of the game , the one time he dropped deeper he nearly picked out KDB with a sublime pass . Rodri’s lazy pass and subsequent bollocking from KDB in the second half epitomised our overall performance. Silva had one of those games . Grealish looked lost for the majority of the game and then got involved in some pushing and shoving near the end , no idea where the aggression was for the majority of the game . Just thought we lacked the mentality or belief tonight of champions. Basically we need to win every game from here on in .

I thought KDB and Stones were our best tonight. Mahrez with his ball control was excellent. Shame about his finishing as he should have finished with a goal.

Who got you out of your seat out there tonight?

Give the answer then ask the question, FFS. He was narrowly my man of the match btw.

Went with the big Barnsley number 5 but nobody shone to be fair.

 

[cleavers]

For City, Stones (./) or de Bruyne. Not sure how Foden survived half time.

Thought a few of theirs were very good, Gallagher and Mitchell in particular.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Toss of a coin between Stones and De Bruyne but I went for KDB he looked to be the one pushing the side forward and most likely to create something.

Stones has been tremendous anytime called upon this season, Easily the best centre back in the league for breaking the lines with his passing, Fabulous at it.
