Match Thread | Man City vs Crystal Palace (17/01/21)

[IT and Me]

Playing Zinchenko and Walker at fullback against a team you know is going to sit back is like voluntarily starting with 9 men. Throw in Mahrez who I genuinely don't recall touching the ball and it's 8 men against a parked bus

FFS!

Is that when Gundogan scored first?....

I swear I heard them mention it.

If my memory serves me did Fern score an og I have had 3 pisses this half so had no help remembering by all accounts

 

[Blueknows]

Much of the same 2nd half please blues

 

[bluke]

Stones as a false 6 with a goal.
I'd like to know how a shit LiVARpool scored seven against those clowns.

 

[MarsLlama]

Here’s the goal

Thanks for posting! Slightly off-topic but one of my most unpopular opinions is that commentators who go "gollllllllllllll" after every goal can get in the bin. It's not passion, it's boring.

Think we've been quite ordinary to be honest, not moving it quick enough and the wide men aren't doing enough when we get it out to them in space, absolute magic from kdb has got us the lead.

can't think of a chance other than the jesus hlf chance diving header.

Switch Sterling to the right and let him go down the outside and try and open them up a bit, it's all too easy to defend against so far.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Full backs aren't doing enough, especially Walker who isnt really adding anything going forward, giving away possession. Apart from that can't complain.

What I can complain on is why do we always get this **** Mason on our games

 

[pudge]

Sourness isn't bitter about the 0-0 he just watched at all...

My god this thread is an alternate reality: 5 minutes in and people complaining we're not doing much! Good performance, so far, against every single man behind the ball and hope for a late counter. Wonderful ball by Kev and Stones delivered, showing his growing confidence again.
Good performances from Zinchenko and Gabby, so far, which is nice as Zin was poor in his last appearance and Gabby looked incredibly rusty.
BS has two men on him constantly and I would like to see him go on the outside as he is a little predictable at the moment.

Not really, not been great, but done enough so far.

On 60 I’d get Cancelo on for Walker, Torres for Jesus.

Jesus is doing just fine, it’s Sterling who’s making the attack less fluid, he needs to find his form and fast as with his purple patches of scoring goals, it could kick us way above the competition!
