I absolutely lost my shit when Townsend scored. No Goalkeeper is saving that. Not even Guaita.

[Bluewolf]

So bloody frustrating watching us sometimes... all the possession but not creating anywhere near enough chances... Pleased we have so much of the ball but got to do more with it...

Unfortunately this is not allowed. I've informed the admins to take action against your post and they will PM you shortly.

Take off Willian for Reuben Loftus-Cheek. The former shouldn't be starting anymore. 

Thought we were brilliant on and off the ball, and unfortunate not to get a goal. Kepa showing his quality with that save. 

Brilliant is a bit of a stretch. Think we're making it easy for you!

This game could rely on subs, though. You've got better ones and we seem happy to defend so it's whoever fancies taking the initiative more.

Townsend abusing the timed finishing trigger

[Stan]

VARDY!!!!

[Bluewolf]

Nothing if not predictable...

Man City 1-3 Palace

[Dave]

I think I'm going to cry.

[Inverted]

3-1 Palace after Walker concedes a pen. Walker's having a disasterclass.

Awful, careless and lazy for the first and third Palace goals. Looking every bit the pace merchant he used to be.

Chelsea all over the shop now. Vardy has a backheel blocked by Azpilicueta.

[Bluewolf]

It's games like this where we need a player that can take the game up a notch and we don't have anyone like that.. no good just relying on Hazard to create a bit of magic if the rest of the players don't ramp up the effort alongside him..

Huddersfield 1-3 Southampton - Michael Obafemi, 70mins

[Cicero]

Amazing how we find ourselves again without a striker that can score. All this money spent.

Aye he's banging them in isnt he.

Investing in the bench rather investing to improve the starting xi. 

[Bluewolf]

Sides are just happy to fill the penalty area with bodies and allow us a lot of the ball because we lack anyone that can finish effectively... If we are not shooting it high and wide we are taking shots against bodies that just come straight back out again... 

[Stan]

How has Azpilicueta not been booked yet??

You really have to ask our board what they expect. When you are turning down 60 million for Willian, what do they honestly expect this team to do? Settle for mediocrity, that is what you will get. 

 

[Cicero]

Lost track with how many times we've lost the ball this half. Utter shambles 

[Bluewolf]

We lack the ability to put in the hard graft in games like this... That's why sides like Wolves and today Leicester have got results, they put in a shift and we can't or don't match it.. 

[Stan]

Man City 2-3 Palace 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Noooo, City score on a fluffed cross.

Hang in there Palace!
