Match Thread | Crystal Palace vs Man City (11/03/23)

Always tough against these, but I think Gundo slows everything down too much

 

[Bluewars]

our games have turned into a bit of a stalemate, the opponents are happy to park the bus and we are happy to keep recycling possession without taking too many risks

Its like watching 11vs11 Rondos at times, apart from that we had some good chances to score, we need suffocate Palace and maintain the intensity.

Frustrating half. Clearly the better side (Stevie Wonder could see that), but it just isn't clicking. We should be ahead (not sure how Haaland missed that chance). The game seems to be bypassing Bernie, and Phil's been poor. Maybe get Kevin and Riyad on around the hour mark if we haven't made a breakthrough by then.

This side plays with zero jeopardy. All too safe resulting in 80% possession but all played in front of the opponents.

Keep expecting us to play with more tempo but it ain't happening.

 

[WestGorton]

Predictable play from us....need more pace

 

[bert38]

all a bit narrow, but missed chances allowing Palace to take the piss-ref as usual happy to oblige. Patience needed.

He could have been talking about himself. He also looks pasty as fuck.

Really? I thought Rodri and Grealish were our best players.

 

[Shaffer92]

With all the money we've spent and we've got Ake and Stones as our inverted fullbacks.

Walker isn't any more comfortable on the ball so IDK what the answer is.

akanji out rico in
foden out mahrez in

Foden imo has been playing well

Snoozefest week in week out from this team

I'd give up if I were you.
