Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace (13/05/26)

Phil's got his mojo back, fucking brilliant

 

[OntarioBlue]

Very happy that weve managed to break down their defence a couple of times but I can’t help but be disappointed with Savinho. What has happened to the young lad who terrorised defenders in his first season. I don’t think he’s got past his full back once tonight and is contributing virtually nothing.

 

[roach3]

Air Nouri I had big hopes for
Looks very limited, shame as he’s a great dribbler when he’s on it.

 

[Allnightlong]

Oh why oh why did we fuck up in a few games. Title was there for the taking.

 

[ufo]

I think I'd speak for most city fans when I say I have never wanted a player to get back to his best more than phil.

When he’s on his element, he’s mesmerizing, glimpses of David’s IQ

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I’d love silva just to stay in midfield than roam everywhere

I'd love him to stay another season.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Richard Edghill hasn't had a mention?

Riyadh FFS is conspicuous by his absence this evening:-)

* I liked him very much and miss his skills.

 

[tweety]

I expect that the fanny wipes have logged out?

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Phil Foden's assist there means he becomes just the sixth player to 100 Premier League goal involvements for City.

68 goals and 32 assists.

 

[roach3]

All in all a decent half but palace obviously don’t give a fuck bout this game

 

[super_city_si]

Foden can be as good as Zidane if he can play like this all season

He’d be on 50 assists

 

[Coljj]

Why was an offisde given to Johnson but not Barry? its ame situation

Because Johnson applied pressure directly to the opponent before he'd even touched the ball.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Air Nouri I had big hopes for
Looks very limited, shame as he’s a great dribbler when he’s on it.

Trying too hard

 

[Tevez City]

Keep scoring City

Ait Nouri & Guehi should keep the ball moving and pass it around faster instead of trying to impress everytime they receive the ball

 

[Gabriel]

Savinho and Ait-Nouri have done very well to hold the width and stretch play, and the movement through the middle has been exemplary. Enjoyable half and a third goal wouldn’t have flattered us.

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

Makes me so happy to see Phil looking confident on the pitch again

 

[OntarioBlue]

Trying too hard

Also playing in a very strange position. Not really a wing- back or a winger. Not sure he’s terribly comfortable there.

 

[madloaf]

Beautiful assists and passes by Gvardiol and Foden. Made me make noises.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

After what was an awful start we finished the half really strong. We were really struggling and it looked like it was going to be a long 90 mins.

Great to see Phil being Phil again. Taking risks. Being progressive. Making things happen.

Good goals from Semenyo and Marmoush. Both had been anonymous until they scored but good finishes from both.

RAN is utterly pointless. He’s a local 5-a-side player masquerading as a PL footballer. It’s all feints and flicks that achieve nothing. There’s no substance whatsoever.

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

Shock horror hes playing in the 8 position he started the season in when he was running games and low and behold hes running the game again.
