Palace v City post match thread.

[Paladin]

How about 11/11/12, City 2 (Aguero 65, Dzeko 88), Spurs 1 (Caulker 21).

Or 16/03/2008, City 2 (Ireland 59, Onuoha 61), Spurs 1 (Keane 32).

Can't understand why we kept Frank Lampard if he hardly gets a game!

I would have thought tonight would tell you why he hardly gets a game, he did more in his first 2 minutes than Dzeko achieved in 65, but in the 25 that followed he was just about as anonymous.

I can understand the defensive changes I really can.zabbas travelling and personal bollocks and MDM's experience blah blah ******* blah but to persist with dzeko and navas is absolute criminal.
Anyone else find theirselves shouting at the players not to pass it them??
Must be me :-(
Worst performance in a city shirt from dzeko tonight.
I'm technically better than him.true story.

Haha. I said in the match day thread that every time Navas got the ball I had the same feeling I get when we win a corner.

How often does the ball end up wide with navas who then hits a dreadful cross or struggles to go round the outside of the full back because the full back know exactly where he's going!!!
It's so effing predictable.........and yes......if nasri and or Milner started tonight we'd have won.hindsights a wonderful thing but I could see it before kick off ffs!!!!!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
I'd have spent hours checking that stat. Perhaps they meant away from home.

We have 30 leagues games (+ 3 cups before tonight) and the fact we gone into tonight still no closer to knowing our best team. (formation , players , system). Doesn't help us one bit. :(

 

[david whites spike]

Hart (IMO) at fault for 2nd goal.

Fernandinho for giving a stupid foul away and Yaya for ducking his head when jumping in the wall.

Still why the fuck did he give him the whole goal to aim at?

Attacking move broke down beforehand because of who???
His name begins with E.

Not getting involved in reading pages 5-21, but the first five pages have to be made up by known rags, right? How some have over 100 posts is beyond belief. Get rid. fucks sake.

I am about certain that many of these posters just desperately hope to see an appalling, catastrophic result merely so they can come on here and slag Pellers for, what? Failure to be Roberto Mancini and failure to clone Jimmy Lad Milner four times and play them all in a packed midfield I guess.

That said, the man seems a class act and did a fantastic job last year. But seems to have utterly lacked a plan B to basically the same tactics being played against us all season.

And five Jimmy Lad Milners or not, the glacially slow tippy tappy sideways shite has not been working for a long time. Do I pretend to know what is the answer? No, because I am an internet poster. But someone sure as fuck needs to have an answer and an alternative approach because it like a depressing rerun week after week in watching us this year.

Fernandinho for giving a stupid foul away

I didn't think he had much choice, the position he was put in. Yes he gave the free kick away, but the stuff before that was the reason.

Worst performance in a city shirt from dzeko tonight.

That is a long list to be top of, personally I've seen worse, but that really isn't defending him. How he got to 65 minutes I don't know, and where was Jovetic ? Have we sold him ? He wouldn't have been worse tonight.

On the stream I was watching, Martin Tyler mentioned Bony was hurt in training yesterday, they waiting on a scan? I can find no info on this. Only possible reason to throw Dzeko out there from the beginning. Truly awful showing from him...
