Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea (21/05/23)

[Gabriel]

Palmer reminds me of a young Peter Barnes.

in the sense that you don’t know which way he’ll take the defender, yes, but not quite the same pace over a distance.

The colon cut?

If my typo starts some kind of pun train I'll cry

A lack of game time and a few mistakes he’s had would do that to a player causing them to have ‘stage fright’ when it’s time to perform.

Again, people pick on Sergio, forgetting he was recently the 2nd best player in the Cup semi, run the show, most touches of the ball. He needs time and more playing time, and he will come good. He lacks confidence, obviously, I can tell why based on what some of our own fans say about him, he can do no good, a new City scapegoat. It's a shame because he is a childhood Blue, you would think people would back him a little.

Did he cut his hair around a bowel too?

That could be a bit messy.

 

[Keeper!]

Needs a run of games which is difficult at City.

Not a chance, he needs regular game time

 

[Kippax77]

Proud of this performance.
I think we've played really well against a very experienced Chelsea team

 

[Fordyboy46]

All very low key but Cole has impressed me, Gomez ok, Phillip's meh. Not much else to report really

[Keeper!]

Palmer reminds me of a young Peter Barnes.

Totally different for me, Barnes was all about pace, Palmer like a young Grealish

Phillips does not have presence of majestic rodri but to his due he can pass a ball, but unfortunately we need more tgan that to cover rodders
