Match Thread | Man City vs. Crystal Palace (12/04/25)

[colorado blue]

Picture of Kev on the bench with red face looking shattered next to McAtee who looks like he’s ready to come on. Says it all. Wish he was staying one more year although probably good time to go

 

[Keeper!]

Alan Ball is his great uncle. Alan Ball’s Dad is McAtee’s granddad. He’s from Walkden.

Did you know Alan won the world cup!

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

What a game!

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Fucking hell commentary team, will you ever stop going on about that "penalty" that McCoist thought was a penalty??

Just give it a rest, it wasn't given! ;)


Fucking disallowed goal! YAWN!

 

[super_city_si]

Crazy how de Bruyne, Gundo and Kovacic are playing like this after playing the full 90 in the derby. Makes last week even more frustrating

Gonzalez in the holding role.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

No idea why people have an issue with them mentioning that non-goal - the difference in our performance after it was huge. There are very very few games where a scoreline changes so starkly

Because they like to moan about anything. It’s obvious what comms were getting at.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Fanny wipes all gone now then?

Easy to post this sort of pap when we're 3 up with 5 mins to go

 

[Bluearmy]

Standing ovation for the pair well deserved. I was harsh on Mcatee but I credit him for his goal

So much more of a goal threat than Savinho (2 goals in 40 games / 1 goal every 1250 minutes)….

Mcatee should start now, deserves a run of games. Savinho had more than enough chances and has delivered little to deserve as many minutes as he has been given.

Mentioning it is ok ,but they have not shut up about it every few fucking minutes ffs.

 

[burning blue soul]

Have we missed Foden?....nope

He needs to sort himself or he will be forgotten. Football is a cruel sport.

 

[Micky Blue]

I still don’t understand the KDB situation.

He’s no longer good enough so he’s not getting a new contract but he’s started and played most of the 2 games since this was announced.

 

[bluemoon32]

Behave, he never mentioned it

 

[Ajm1985]

Mentionong it is ok ,bit they have not shut up about it every few fucking minutes ffs.

To be honest, I think they are a bit dumbstruck

 

[Mr HJ]

Of course we don't know what goes on in training but anyone who has watched Kev for years knows he needs to have a run of games to get into his rhythm. Today's performance is like he's got that back. This year the narrative from Pep is he can't play back to back games & has been in and out whilst others like Bernie and Phil have been over played.

Either way it will be such a sad day when season ends and he is gone.

On an unrelated note I've been quietly impressed by Nico Gonzalez today - mopping up a lot in the middle.

 

[WallyA]

Why does Doku look so lazy right now?

Games over but give a shit atleast.

 

[Micky Blue]

He needs to sort himself or he will be forgotten. Football is a cruel sport.

If he doesn’t sort himself out he’ll be the new Dele Alli

 

[Father Paul]

We nearly went 3 nil down today. There is definitely a question to be had about the lineup.

Nope. A Pep masterplan. Go 2 down and make them think they were back down the road with the 3 points. Pure genius. I tell you that lad.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Eccles neighbours " fucking hell, she's on the sherry again"

*lol* they know me when City are on. I don’t need anything to encourage me!

 

[pbueno16]

Gonzalez in the holding role.

Mystery as to why he didn’t play last week. Should be starting every game from here on out.

 

[Keeper!]

Behave, he never mentioned it

Got to give Dave a mention otherwise he gets upset
