Crystal Palace V Manchester City pre match thread

[Santiago Street]

It's an unfortunate trend on here to disregard the form of other teams and say we'll beat everyone, even though we drop points away at an unusual % of bottom half teams.

Drawing at Norwich has been our only bad away result in 6 months. That suggests to me that our away form is pretty fucking good, aside from only scoring 3 at the swamp

Chelsea, Liverpool

Losing away at a title rival isn't a bad result. We were underdogs in both matches.

What do you mean not a bad result we're manchester city not norwich

Depends how high / unrealistic your expectations are I guess

Assuming a title winning side will lose between 3 and 6 games in that season then it can't be totally unexpected if 2 of those losses are away to your title rivals

Don't be silly

proper think it's going to be 0 - 0 at half time, all the Pellegrini tacticians lets hope for a Mourinho job defensively, i mean they won the champions league by not letting in goals, contain Liverpool for the first 30 minutes.

0 - 0 half time. a proper job 0 - 1 0 - 2 Chelsea

Wide open.

I do think this has 0-0 written all over it.

We need to score within the open 20 mins and get the game opened up, if we do that then we should win this by a few.

 

[Riddick]

nah we'll win, cos we need to.
