Where has this Palace been all season then. Big game Charlie's

What Palace? What are they actually doing that’s above and beyond the norm? We’re just poor and creating our own problems.

 

[Sky Blue]

Same problems. Can’t defend transitions and we ain’t scoring enough to compensate.

Feel like the wheels might come off here and certainly against Madrid.

This place. I’m offski…

 

[dickie davies]

We've got this Blues

 

[Phil1]

For 15 minutes or so yes. Besides, i don't think anybody has lost the ball for us more than grealish has this half. The balance kovacic should bring to the side is what's important here.

Agree it’s the middle where our issues lie at the moment.

 

[Blu1]

I will be amazed & pissed off if alvarez comes back out

 

[Dr Jacoby]

You have to hand it to them, TNT have managed to assemble quite possibly the worst commentary and punditry team imaginable.

 

[alexmcity]

We’ve lost every game in which Rodri hasn’t started, I think, so it would have been a tough call dropping him.

That's how fans reason, Pep should be better than that.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Our passing really has been poor at times this season and none more so than today. Not easy to pick out players playing against 10 at the back but even simple five yard passes are going astray.

We need to buy another centre half with genuine pace if we want to leave ourselves so open. Also, when we have players like De Bruyne who can score a goal from literally nothing, then you have to ask why we are leaving ourselves so open at the back. We’re certainly making it a lot easier for Palace than we have to.

Rodri looks fucked so I would have him off with Alvarez and put Foden and Kovacic on.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

The amount of criticism for Alvarez, but not our highest-earning, 'world-class' striker, is bizarre. At least the former works hard off of the ball.

Without service Haaland is an average footballer.
Either we need to service or drop him.
