Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City match thread

[VinceHilaire]

Pino is f***ing abject I have had enough of this prick. Devoid of any quality and hes petulant

I’m sitting in the Main Stand trying to think of what Pino has actually contributed to the game. When Glasner was the boss, I could hear him bellowing at the players. So far, I can only hear Paddy M.

Pino needs a rocket!

I think we have played well. Noone has been useless like we sometimes see. I think all are putting in a good shift. It's City after all.

 

[redshift]

It's only 0-1. Not the end of the world.

Agree. There were some hopeful elements there from the new guys and some of the better from last year. Unfortunately some of the same problems from last year from the usual suspects and still poor in the opposition third. Still it is early days and Sage still needs to put his stamp on the team.

Kamada doing well but front 3 not working. One goal could change that and build confidence. After 60 I think guessand will be on for JSL and McNeill for Pino. 75 it will be McNeill for nketiah. Unless we are winning by then, of course!

 

[ripleyeagle]

I actually think we are playing well, moving the ball forward and quicker than under OG,unfortunately we have two forwards with zero confidence.
Very strange atmosphere with the HF on strike, just proves how we need them to create the main noise in the ground.

It really is ridiculous watching this. I am done with Larsen, Pino and Nketiah.

Larsen has no discernible skills. I guess effort is a skill.

Pino tries too many cute things that don't pan out.

Nketiah is no energy and pretty lazy.

I hope my reverse jinx works.

Who would you start instead of those three that are available?

We have tried to pass faster and sometimes its coming off , Sage is getting his ideas across we just need that last little bit for it to work , overall not unhappy hope we come out 2nd half

 

[Adrift]

On the plus side if anderson is worth 115 million how much is wharton worth 145?👀

The danger is a big offer before the deadline. Minimum 100mil on this showing

Jeez we got 2 McNeils for the price of 1 Johnson. It all makes sense now

 

[Poshgit]

We’re losing but look better - is that about it ?

Bit harsh on Noone! He played well for Herman’s Hermits.

 

[Mr.G]

Can we rename Pino to Poono

 

[Hootie121082]

Sage has got a look on his face that says "What have I done? I was with a club that came second in the league, and now I have to deal with this. Can I go home please."

 

[Dogburger]

Its all very well passing faster but the only player with that ability and the ability to receive it faster is Wharton . The rest of them need a postcard .

But its only 1-0 and we are creating so there is some hope we can get back into this game

 

[mileend]

Can we rename Pino to Poono

First minutes in months

It feels bad but have to give a bit of time and support for Sage to get everything working

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

To be fair Smith and Redknapp are more positive about Palace than we are at present

 

[stringmail]

Who would you start instead of those three that are available?

That's just it, isn't it. Stuck between and rock and hard place.

I would not start Pino or Nketiah. Have to keep JSL in to have some height and Mcneil has to come in to get some kind of service to him and I'd guess..Guessand.

There are no good choices with Sarr and Mateta out but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

On the bright side, I have seen enought between last week and this week to feel comfortable that we aren't bottom 3 type.

 

[StandbyPalace]

A night of misery awaits

Thats the spirit

 

[TheBigToePunt]

If only we had a big no9 who could hold it up and score, and a quick no7 who could cover ground at speed and score, it would all be better....
