Match Thread | Man City vs Crystal Palace (22/12/18)

Think Walker has been trash this game. The man couldnt find a cross in church.
Stones doesnt seem up to the pace of the midfield

It’s so easy to run right by Ilkay.

Good grief, you seem to blame Gundogan for all of City's woes. Is there anything that has not been his fault?

 

[Tb1981]

Too slow and boring
Need to put teams like palace away early
Don’t give them hope
Now they got something to cling on to and hit on the break
This display is complacent pure and simple
No one wants to make a pass or take a shot
De bruyne and aguero on straight away

Stones off, move Gundogan back and bring Kev on.

People keep saying this but you can't have a DM who pussies out of tackles. They will just breeze past Gundogan in that position.

...this is why it was a really bad decision not to have a Plan B for Jorginho.

When Fernandinho is out, we're fucked.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Well, that wasn't bad, but we are leaking goals again. Exactly the reason why some of us were not really happy after the Everton game. This has been coming for a while. We still have 45 minutes for a turnaround. Bring in KDB instead of Stones and Aguero instead of Jesus and let's go for it.

Just move Stones to CB and bring KDB on for Ota.

Also Danilo for Walker.

We're not doing much wrong. Bit more creativity needed in the middle, they seem to have numbers out wide so should be space elsewhere.

Two good goals from them and we need to be wary of them on the break. But we should still win this.

 

[Draikin]

Ndombele's price tag keeps getting higher.

Gundo is playing a bit like Messi this season: resting during defensive play so he can concentrate on his magic going forward

 

[blueballs84]

How must Foden feel.

Very frustrating.


It's ok though Pep will bring him in the 88th minute when we are 3-1 down. Thanks gaffer.

Honest truth I can't blame Sancho and Diaz when we don't provide any path to the first team and I wouldn't be able to blame Foden either if he hadn't signed on the dotted line.

GTFO Kyle

Have to admit. He’s been awful for a while now. And this match changed with his comical defending on their first.
