Match Thread | Man City vs Crystal Palace (30/10/21)

Ref is going to cause a riot. His intentions were pretty clear within the first few minutes.

We have played awfully as well, no doubt about it.

Bad day at the office this

Rather it be this week than next though.

Play like this v rags and we will be humiliated.

 

[bluealf]

that'll be laporte out the side for months now barring any injuries to stones/dias

good

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather see Raheem and Mahrez on instead of Grealish and De Bruyne.

Both of them are predictable, slow and, on the basis of that half, useless.

Less said about Laporte the better. Clueless. The red card was correct, Zaha was away and clear.

45 minutes of shite.

This is the game where Grealish has to step up. For Leroy it was the game against Arsenal. Grealish has to make an impact.

?? There are 19 I could name right now..

You would rather to lose to Ollie? Klopp? Arteta? Dyche? Benitez? Rodgers? Moyes???

Incredibly one sided officiating again but as the club never moans about it then it will long continue. We pick up cards so easy.

But no disguising that awful 1st half. We all knew having no striker would cost us this season but the rest of the team has regressed even more in the final third. We would be fine it points were based on possession but we just have zero goals in our team and it shows. We even tried our best to miss 3 of the 4 at Brighton and it cost us in the cup in midweek.

 

[Del_Bosque]

Get Stones and Gundo on at half time, Grealish & KDB off

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Stones is back in with this, Laporte will return only if injuries happen.

Good

Can't see us getting out of this one.

Played some of the best football I've seen recently, but today just looks like a bad day at the office.

16 games this season and this will be the 8th where we score 0 or 1. 50% of them where we are blunt/wasteful in attack. That’s way too high. It is for me way beyond the point of calling them bad days at the office. The thumpings inbetween have masked the fact our attack isn’t up to scratch. It isn’t reliable. No point hitting 5 or even 6 to then have blanked in potentially 6 games already this season.
