A clever and above their weigh playing Hometeam vs a Team more likely staying at Home in the warm.... KdB, Leroy, Walker with a Bad Day.....hope, Pep is doing something in the Tea......and Jesus getting well soon!

[Original Dub]

That break only needed a first time simple pass from sane to kdb and he was central going one on one with the keeper.

Simple stuff.

He'll iron that out but he needs replacing today for several different reasons

[nottsblue]

Palace only played a couple of days ago. It might start to show. Get Raheem to run at them. Fancy Sergio to score.

Correct.

These will tire as the second half wears on. Just need a bit of luck and a better final ball and we will score. Assuming it's the first of the game I can then see Palace deflate

[zuricity]

Seeing th replay, how was that not a foul on Jesus?? Townsend only gets his knee from behind

It was a foul , don‘t expect it to be picked up , like the elbow on Walker . Then the ref has a go at Walker.

Townsend made no contact according to Phil Neville - the guy that still streaks his fuckin hair like it’s 1992!

[nottsblue]

Zinchenko for Sane would be a tasty shout. We've only seen the lad in an unfamiliar wing back role, not his preferred left wing. If nothing else, it will show Sane that he has competition for the position

[zabbadabbado]

We need a couple of signings in January to freshen things up front.

Aguero is looking a bit stale, has definitely lost a yard of pace, and snatches at shots he used to bury. Jesus hold up play is better, but goal scoring prowess is virtually none existent.

We could do with Sanchez tomorrow. Also a Big target man for sides that Park the Bus.

[london blue 2]

Come on city. Sane to score a belter.

[ENIAM NAM]

COME ON CITY...

We're playing shite but palace are forcing us to. Really good effort from palace tbh, this is the best 45 minutes I've seen from the opposition this season who know they can't go toe to toe with us. And they're not just parking the bus either.

I really like zaha. I do wonder if he's got what it takes to be at a big club though or of he's one of them that thrives more in a small one.

I'd swap Bernie for kev. Kev's crossing could be the answer, Bernie's close control in a packed midfield could unlock gaps.

This^^^^
Got to hand it to Palace in their position. Sterling can change the dynamic though. On a side note the commentators are desperate for us to fail. I could quite happily smash a house brick into that smug twat Owen’s face

[budfox]

This is sloppy, and that's not like us.

[PeterParker]

Bunch of dirty cunts

Owhine is worse than either of the Chuckles with his bias .... they are born reds so you can understand it but Owhine just has sly digs all game .... winker

[bigblue]

Dirty fucking team

That Sunderland reject looks like a cunt with that hair.
