***City v Palace Official Match Thread***

[PeterParker]

The highlights are misleading. Every chance palace had in that first half would have been offside, but obviously the rules state you don't halt play until the attack is dead. The only real chance was Wharton's snapshot that hit the outside of the post in the second half. Apart from that Mateta was crap and Nketiah wasn't any good either.

Wharton is a good player. Not sold on him though, looks great in a half decent palace team, would he be an improvement on what we have?? Not so sure.

After Newcastle, I really think offside works totally differently with us.

Wharton had a 70.8 pass completion rate yesterday - he'd have been second worst if playing for City. I know people like to pretend he's great with the ball, but the stats show otherwise. I'd worry about him in our midfield if he's giving the ball away that much.

And luckily most of their chances went to him as his finishing is horrendous.
Not scored 1 goal for them.

Waa talking about him during the game. He keeps the ball moving, I will give him that. Is he better than Nico G, no for me. We need more legs Anderson is a better option if we're not bringing the Argie kid back

Everything is pointing towards Anderson. Weirdly, he follows all his former clubs on social media....... and us.
