Eagles v Man City Thread

OMG! How can we be one down after this performance ......

Cos we don’t have Haaland up front. If he was in a Palace strip he’d have had a hat trick by now!

 

[Nicholas91]

We’re poor up top and Richards completely misjudged one cross. We’ve been the better team otherwise.

That’s the story of the half.

Awful defending. (How can you not even mark a guy like that left free)

Missing chances is going to cost us again.

City are blatant cheats can't beat us fair so keep resorting to those sort of tactics. (ref needs to be booking there players time after time they keep diving)

Agreed.m we should have had a couple. Just imagine where we would be if we converted half our chances this season. So frustrating.

Don't think so while his finishing is great he doesn't offering anything else and would never put the work in we require.

Crystal Clear -- Haaland can jump higher than any other striker.

Second half has been weak for use lately but we need to start again and perhaps bring Uche on for Mateta?

It was a perfect cross for Haaland but only because Pino left his man and gave him all the time in the world to pick out Haaland. Given that and his miss I don’t think Pino will be getting the MOTM award!

Players are doing us proud! As others have said, the difference is city have one of the best strikers in the world…

Let’s see how we respond in the 2nd half!

COYE

Right again, he is crap 🙄

 

[JHB]

Our general play has been good but we must be the most profligate team in the league. Our finishing is awful

Wharton pings the post

Sounds like a spinoff to Horton hears a who!

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

Sarr had a half chance taken off his foot. Palace need some intuition and shooting practice in front of goal. But it's been like that all season. We need 10 chances to score a goal

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

I can’t believe how many chances this team creates - some great runs and great passes, so frustrating to see us continue to struggle to take any of them.

 

[DenTyler]

What is going on with JP. He is a passenger again in this game. Is he carrying an injury?

 

[Nicholas91]

Kamada looks to be operating in slow motion.

Wharton for all his brilliance cannot strike the ball at goal to save his life.

Lingering knee issue was the reason given for his being rested against Shelbourne

 

[DenTyler]

Wharton is an amazing player until he has too much time. He is superb on the turn and fast pass but given time he nearly always makes a poor pass or decision. When he sorts that he really will be the complete midfielder

 

[Frenchaigle]

Shooting is definitely not Whartons forte

complete mid also scores goals i cant see that being apart of his game ever.

I see the cheating continues.

Kamada is awful I hope we don't offer him a new deal end of the season. (I bet we will unless OG has a word with him about leaving and taking him to his new club)
