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

Absolutely spot on. Fight and pride. That's all we can ask for.

But honestly, who can hold up their hand and say they saw this coming?
Especially after last week's paint-drying non-performance?

That's all I ever want from a City side. If we lose a game, having given it everything for those 90 minutes, so be it. Shit happens, and you will lose some of those types of games. It's the half arsed performances that annoy me. Recency bias here last sunday, for example.

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

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Very nice job today, and some nice footy. We've been so fucking dire watch a bit too often lately, so nice of them to pull this one out of nowhere after such an abysmal start. Got to be honest, thought we were in for a damn good kicking earlier on.

 

[Blueknows]

That’s what happened when you have Nico g. Cleaning up in midfield mate .

Been a great performance from him

 

[bridgeno1]

Well deserved ovation that

 

[super_city_si]

Great ovation thoroughly deserved

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Still happy to say it was a nonsense line up. But they have shown loads of fight and hunger in going forward and lots of players have stepped up since last week.

So you’re happy to say that the line up that he picked the one that figh back from 2-0 to go on and smash the opposition was the wrong one? Seems unfair really. On what grounds? there’s no way for you to say we wouldn’t go 2-0 down, it’s impossible for you to know.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Kev was majestic and I feel the catalyst for the turnaround this afternoon.

 

[Mancity1980]

Man of the match for me.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Going to be at least 6 mins injury time

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Jack & Jezzer on and Kev going off to a standing ovation.

Masterclass today.

 

[Dax777]

Should give Kev another year on the back of this masterclass

No. Love him. But no. Age is undefeated

 

[pudge]

Wish they'd shut the fuck up about Palace's "disallowed" goal, it wasn't disallowed, it was offside.

Same as that Sterling for Liverpool bullshit for years

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Did Palace have a goal disallowed? Strange as the commentators haven’t mentioned it

 

[Eccles Blue]

Do you think KDB can hear me? I’m singing oh Kevin De Bruyne, oh Kevin de Bruyne in my sitting room. .

 

[gray740]

Fucking hell will they shut up about the offside non goal fuck me

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Best game from Kev for a long time.
He drags us back into this game leading by example.

 

[Don Karleone]

Man of the match for me.

Without a doubt.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Have we missed Foden?....nope
