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

You could argue as every team does it, we would have a plan for it.

We won't until we buy a proper striker imo

 

[blue for life]

I would be happy to get a draw here given the circumstances

This is why we never turn our bad performances around. Pep never changes it till it’s too late.

Foden needs to go wide left we need to get him on the ball more get him involved in the game, Very hard for him stamp his authority on the game playing in the middle of a parked bus.
De Bruyne has been way off the pace again along with Grealish, Cancelo not at it today either.
Stones will come on but for who?

Cancelo

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.

Exactly right. There’s only so long you can blag it without a proper centre forward.

What’s our win percentage with Marriner?

I've never trusted Marriner. He ghosts around the pitch, never doing anything that looks too controversial, but the minute he gets the chance to do us over, he grabs at it, eagerly. He's like Taylor.

Fifty / fifty decisions? Always against us. Potential red card against us? Go for red, and hope it can't be overturned as an obvious error. Foul by Bernardo at the end there? Ignore the obstruction by Zaha that preceded it. How many players involved in the melee? Just caution Ederson.

I've not watched him with United, but I wouldn't be surprised if all this was opposite, like Taylor. Always go lenient on United, and hope there isn't enough justification to change the decision.
