Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[eaglesdare]

I had to turn TNT commentary off. f*** me thatbwas worse than listing to Alex Scott

I normally like ally mcoist but the way he was going on say man city should have had a penalty in the first half really annoyed me.

I hope this is a wake call to those who want European football.

We simply do not have the squad for it. Look at us today. 2 suspensions and we’re f***ed. Imagine when we lose MG at least.

No chance we will be sucked into a relegation battle for sure. Plus the insane idea by the manager to keep playing Kamada.

As I type this it’s now 5 - 2

When you watch this game back, just have a look at Kamada, doing absolutely nothing. Standing there just watching.

He does a lot of pointing too

 

[JHB]

Was Mateta taken off for having a go at Kamada?

I expect he was taken off because he was not seeing any of the ball and OG felt we needed extra legs in midfield.

 

[Spindle]

Franca, again, looks very promising. Certainly a more positive contribution in 5 minutes than useless Kamada

To help Kamada out.....

 

[PatrickA]

De Bruyne got his goal in the 33rd minute and since then we've barely had a kick.
This is not a vintage City team which makes it even more disappointing.

The confidence will have taken a hit, but hopefully there will enough resilience to bounce back quickly.

At least the tv commentators have got what they wanted!

 

[grumpymort]

Terrible defending. Looks like we’ve given up which is hard to excuse. Really lack of leadership today. Losing away at City is no disgrace. The way we’ve collapsed is very disappointing though. Without Guehi we have lacked any organisation and leadership at the back. Wharton and Kamada hasn’t worked and is far too lightweight in midfield. Kamada has been poor but same is true of Wharton. He has looked way off the pace in a few of his games since coming back. Looks to be struggling with the physical side of the game. I think it may well be Lerma and Hughes in the middle for a few games now

Wharton looked good at start but if you dont have a person on side of you that does anything you are not going to be able to do anything this is what has happened the manager should have seen this he is blinded by kamada and the history they have.

We really need to get a result against Newcastle otherwise I can see us getting thrashed in cup Villa last time had chances and was missing fair amount of players so it will be lot tougher game.

 

[Jimmy Doyle]

And then karate kick the ref in the head and get banned for the rest of his contract with us.

We need to tell Celtic we've got the Japanese Messi. They like Japanese players.

 

[eritheagle]

He will be fairly cheap so yes but last summer only Newcastle was interested.

What I mean by overrated is Palace fans making out he is something he isn't the same was done with Wilf.

You must have missed the games we did the same thing when he played remember Brentford twice

Spurs made a big bid for him at end of January.

That ls what I've been thinking.

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

Relax everyone.

We don't want the Conference League. It's not a money spinner and it will put huge pressure on our squad.
We will cruise to the semi Final, resting players where possible because we are safe in the League.

It's the sensible, albeit boring thing to do.

Me too, I like him on talk s*** but too much today. He was making it out like it was the past Man City team. Trouble is we’ve made them look like that today

 

[Spindle]

I switched off. Gonna go and play golf. Bye.

 

[palace chick]

This is like the past seasons when we’ve played top sides. So lackadaisical throughout the team. Missed Geuhi massively today at the back as well but no excuse for how the team has played. Flip flops on but with a semi final coming up doesn’t make sense?

 

[JHB]

I'm saying that you basically said one player doesn't make a difference. Sorry, it really does.

Kamada's inclusion has utterly disrupted this side, and if you can't see or understand how fottball can change on a goal then god help you.

5-2, subs, and Glasner has written this off now, but not taking off that out of his depth clown Kamada

So you think OG is inept at team selection? Look do I think Kamada has been any good today. No absolutely not. Do I think his selection is the only reason we have lost heavily? No I don’t, I think the all round defensive display has been poor. Kamada’s performance is a reason we’ve lost but by no means the only reason. It’s not like we’ve lost 1-0 with his mistake being the difference. We’ve been comprehensively outplayed all over the pitch for 60 minutes of this match. That is a team wide issue

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Quite shocked how easy we’ve been to play against today, a performance that’s right out of character.

 

[DenTyler]

I’m going to say it. If everyone is fit. I’d be starting hughes and lerma centre mid for the semi. Wharton has not been up to scratch and really not much better than Kamada.

 

[cyprussteve]

Wish Kamada would stop touching the ball. His last few touches have given the ball away. My advise to him is leave the ball alone and let the footballers have it. He has not one redeeming feature

 

[grumpymort]

Spurs made a big bid for him at end of January.

Big you say they offer only 50m the media stories of 70m etc was BS.

One of the media shows had someone on even saying it reports was wrong also chelsea has first offer on any deal plus they get a big %

 

[Plumpton eagle]

Either a real reality check or we really have got our minds on the semi final. Newcastle, Bournemouth and Arsenal could go the same way.

It it's a reality check then it might not be a bad thing. Beating Bournemouth would be a boost then play a weakened 11 at Arsenal. I would normally object but we need to prioritise winning our first ever major trophy. Hopefully, it won't be Citeh in the final!
