Better attitude than City. They cried they didn't have Fernandinho to foul themselves back into the game. We just scored 4.
Well that's the first time in months I've had that gut wrenching feeling every time the oppo went towards out goal lol. Kieta is at this moment looking like a bad buy... hope he turns it around. Mane should be cattle prodded every time he refuses to look up and usually 3 runners around him. Midfield need to learn how to foul when it's not a card situation.... Fernandino stuff.. And Wishi I'm ready for that bike ride now
We conceded three. We scored four. We were ok going forward, the defence was abysmal - by the standard it's been setting this season.
Considering the injury problems in defence we were never going to be as solid defensively as we have been, but this does not excuse the poor passing from Firminho and Keita especially. We gave the ball away a lot in midfield and this resulted in a patched together defense coming under pressure. At the end of the day it is 3 points, but I can't wait until we have a fit squad again, there is a danger we may have to play Moreno at this rate
can i just say for the good of my already high blood pressure can we please regain our defensive composure.
Keita looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Completely lost and zero confidence. Matip isn't up to speed and Milner filling in a RB. Hardly surprising it wasn't our best defensive display. Disappointed to concede from a corner. Also thought Alisson could have done more with the third too. Three points is three points though. With got a nice break now, hopefully we can recharge the batteries and get some players back too.
Keita is really struggling physically. He looked explosive in Germany but cannot seem to match that in England. However I dont think that position is his best. On the game we scored four and they roasted Milner. I am seeing people complaining about the game well I guess City wish they could have beat Palace 4-3. I think people are underestimating Palace.
Replays #confirm their first goal should have been a penalty to us, their corner goal was a foul due to holding, Milner's first yellow wasn't a foul, and we had a second handball penalty missed PGMOL
