Crystal Palace V Manchester City pre match thread

[yeah whatever !!]

If we can't beat palace we don't deserve to win the league. I mean palace, come on

Palace are like the little pesky dog that bites your ankles,it keeps coming back at you no matter what you do..

Theyre a tough cookie and we need to be at our best to get sommat..If we drop our guard we'll get bitten on the balls..

Reminds me of the Newcastle away game. C'mon City, c'mon Yaya - let's have a similar outcome!

If memory serves me correctly the Newcastle game came on the back of Utd's 4-4 with Everton, that was the result that suddenly reopened the title race for us. If Chelsea come up with the goods in today's earlier fixture you could be right,

That was Wolves. It shouldn't really matter to the performance but the Liverpool result will definitely have an effect. Our last 3 away games in 11/12 came on the back of some sort of boost. Utd losing to Wigan a couple of days before we played Norwich, Everton equalising minutes before the Wolves ko and us beating Utd to put us in pole position before the Newcastle game.

At least with the palace game we'll know if we likely have a chance at the league by the start of the match. if Liverpool lose or draw and we're not up for the palace game I'll be very pissed off

Today I think we can pass Palace off the park. I'd go with a 4-5-1 -

Hart
Zabaleta-Kompany-Demichelis-Clichy
Yaya-Fernandinho
Milner-Aguero-Nasri
Dzeko

Imagine if Liverpool lost then palace did us. It would be funny on here after the game.

Anyway, 1-0 city.

That's 4-4-2. Aguero cant play deep. He might do it for 10 mins but his instinct is to get in the box

I don't usually share my wisdom / words of doom on the pre-match thread...

Playing against an energetic team while we appear to be running on empty, does not fill me with optimism. The cabbage patch pitch will not help either. Better pitches in League 2.
