Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 30, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 30, 2017 I agree with that. I've said this a few times lately but how good he is on the ball is clouding people's judgement of him as a defender - and unfortunately for me he's been very average. Morgan's defended better than him, and Huth did as well for all I think both are pretty shoddy footballers. He's got a lot of potential but we've got to find a way to unlock it. His mistakes are being punished.

Dominating, plenty of chances, plenty of opportunities to create more chances, no goals. The other lot have one shot on target and it's in the net. The only team to score more than you are City...

His mistakes are being punished. better midfielders would help. Iborra is class and fine but Ndidi also has a lot to learn. He's still very young though so it's not that I'm putting the blame on him. When you have a defender who is comfortable on the ball though, any good opposing manager will instruct his forwards to press on him. His defending for the 2nd goal is shambolic though. Salah may be strong but you're a 6ft 5/6 defender up against a player like Salah (not to the Egyptian's discredit), but you shouldn't be able to be turned so easily. Gotta use your strength to hold him up. best thing about Maguire is his presence at offensive set pieces. Already got a good amount of goals and assists since the start of the season.

City, Arsenal, and United have all scored more than us at home and we're level with Tottenham and Chelsea. With the talent we have going forward, and our attacking style, we should be doing better than that. Yesterday's first half was a very familiar picture and one that's seen us drop far too many points at home this season.
Honey Honey Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 I see Rafa has started a trend of putting Carabao Cup line ups out against the top teams and just accepting defeat in the hope of being fit for the next game. Stoke did it at Chelsea. In future the fine margins at the top end of the table could be defined by the time you play bottom clubs, making the league as big a joke as the league cup. Football on its deathbed.
The Artful Dodger Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Didn’t mick McCarthy get fined for that? Disgraceful.
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 couple of dodgy moments for the Man City defence but they get away with it. Palace really taking it to the away side now too.
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 Dann's knee looked fucked there on that tackle on De Bruyne.
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 The resurrection of Jesus lasts 22 minutes. Injured and goes off in tears.
Honey Honey Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Another game where Man City are boring to watch
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 Sane has been very frustrating recently, especially in this game. Not on the same wavelength as some other players. Sterling to come on at half time and change the game.
6666 Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Just seen Pogba's goal that was ruled out for offside. Still would've gone in and would've been allowed if he wasn't desperate to steal it.
Honey Honey Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Shows up our tactics so far Man City 73% possession, 6 shots, 1 on target Against us at half time 84% posession, 15 shots, 5 on target BT over egging it saying Palace are taking the game to Man City though
Happy Blue Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 We don't look interested today, guess playing with zero pressure can do that to you
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 Fosu-Mensah has had a fairly good game in the Palace defence.
Honey Honey Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 No entertainment in this game now. Palace offering nothing anymore and Man City with 81% possession and nothing to show for it.
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 that might have been Palace's best chance! Townsend balloons over from about 10 yards out. McManaman saying it's a hard chance? Like fuck it was. Gotta be hitting the target at the very least!
The Artful Dodger Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Shit game like last night’s. Andros Townsend is absolutely awful.
Administrator Stan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Administrator Posted December 31, 2017 Walker has been brilliant against Zaha Too strong for the winger. Zaha keeps going to the floor in the hope of getting a free-kick.
