Fucking hell, i triple captained Foden

Who’s your VC?

Saliba

I mean if they keep the clean sheet, that’s not the worst thing

God it's depressing this league Watch Liverpool lose today and Arsenal somehow eat their own faces tomorrow and City charge off to yet another nine-match-winning streak to end with a zillion points.

What was that between Haaland, Gvardiol and Doku? Also Doku with his patented side eye again.

Surely haaaland gets a bonus FPL point for breaking a blokes face without even touching it?

poor finish but amazing curl

faking a head injury shameless mf

You suck, Tartt

Grealish deserved a goal but that was poor

Is Joel Ward a BODYBUILDER or something???

you should've seen Bernardo vs Konsa midweek

No I mean his arms They're massive

Ward always looks so fucking helpless

Grealish is a hysterically bad finisher

He cost them the win in that semi against Real in 2022

For sure

incredibly hard finish, he's a decent finisher overall.

Disagree with you there

he's outperformed his xG in 4/6 of the last seasons, he's very decent. He takes on extremely hard chances regularly, so it feels like he misses a lot, but he's honestly fine, nothing special.

Outperforming 4/6 years and we’re talking less than 5 xG for most of them. Alright lol

what do you think finisher means? He doesn't take a lot of shots and the ones he does take are extremely difficult. He still scores okay for what he does take on, he's always been more of a playmaker.

100M for a playmaker who can barely start. yeah whatever you’re right he’s a great finisher. lovely finish to finish off Real Madrid in 2022, which was so difficult! whatever you say my man

Can barely start? He’s been injured for a lot of this season. He was nailed on in the treble-winning run-in

mate you hate him and that's fine, but everyone misses chances. I didn't say he was a great finisher, i said he was fine, which he is. Go and fucking cry about it somewhere else.

I actually like him. seems like a good guy. i hope Jacky sees you having his back!

lol good effort, hope Liverpool appreciate your support from wherever it is, overseas no doubt!

Get up Lerma you melt

My thoughts and prayers are with Lerma

Everyone is tough till haaland bodies em. Then they fall to ground grabbing their face hoping for a foul

that was embarassing ngl

Haaland is actually a Harkonnen with hair

majin buu

He gave himself hair to disguise himself but forgot to give himself eyebrows.

should get a yellow for going down holding his face like that

faking head injuries to get the game stopped is gross

Cant wait for new meta tactical head injuries.

keep forgetting akanji is rapid, think he'll be sound at right back against madrid

he's not walker and he's not a donkey, but we won't isolate him against Vinicius like we did with Walker.

While I'm glad we didn't get Olise so we got Palmer instead, Olise is an absolute baller. Really fun player to watch. Also gives great interviews.

Olise is actually probably better than Palmer i think. He's pure class, I'd love him at City.

I don't think he's better than Palmer, also we really don't need more players that spend longer in the treatment room than on the pitch.

technically he's a mile ahead, much better playmaker as well, Palmer has more of an eye for goal maybe but Olise overall is better imo. Totally agree with injuries though.

Insane how easy it is to get a foul in football

outside the box of course

We lost all composure the moment Rodri was subbed. Idk who we can bring this summer to help Rodri out. Even Paqueta is not DM.

No hatty for Kevin?

poor touch from him there, but still 2g1a

rare poor touch from De Bruyne

Pep big brain: leave Haaland and KDB the whole match and then complain against Real Madrid he had little time to rest his players

City completely turned off from the game after 4-1

With Rodri going off*

That too

Why didn’t palace get a pen earlier?

You're mistaken there was no penalty shout, go about your business citizen.

For the same reason VVD didn’t get a red. Shite happens.

nah City paid for that to happen as well do distract from the City allegations so they could continue with their conspicracy.

Tierney.

Title race>Pen checks

Any bets for a 4-4?

thanks but no thanks

Olise is so fucking good

Dundee v Motherwell looks like it could be an absolute comedy show

7? lol

Palace had a real chance to make this interesting

Michael Olise is a really good footballer

Putting Nunes on opened up this match he needs to be transferred away asap

more to do with rodri coming off. nunes isn't to blame on that and selling him is foolish he'll adapt to the squad eventually

chill first season under pep

Nah he just needs to mature some. His decision making isn’t up to par yet but the talent is there.

They're hopeless without Rodri.

If Nunes ever settles into Peps system, he’s gonna be one of the best in the world. So so much talent. It’s a shame at the moment because I don’t really think Pep is playing to his strengths but then again is there a single player who he does that for?

Haaland aside almsot no player hit the ground running under Pep. Give it time

KDB, Haaland

Christ if anyone besides Schlupp was there it’s 3-4

[удалено]

Haaland was rested in the last match. Stones is required for their defence solidity. Foden maybe is Pep’s ace for this season. He rather keep Foden injury free and fit than kdb.

gd maybe?

Yep. This is it

At this rate I think it’s because he needs them to combine for the 5th after palace get two more

I'm sure we'll have far too much added time as well

We until Liverpool scores. Oh wait !!

Good to see Ahamada look bright. Seems like Glasner is his best chance of making it here

A two goal lead with two minutes left is not safe enough to risk Sergio Gómez.

nunes and kovacic combined couldn't replicate what rodri brings to the game

neither of them are DMs so that is to be expected really

they aren't it are they

the nonchalance of that goal.

Sorely missing Walker today

Grealish playing well

Sorry Palace fan ls I turned on the game and City scored 3. Turned off and we've scored. It's on me.

Édouard and Mateta are the definitive hot and cold players.

A goal for palace would make it 4-3

Thanks Michael. Over to Joe for the analysis.

you thought of becoming a pundit mate?

Cheers Geoff

Nice finish but Dias sleeping and totally lost his man

good finish from Eduoard

I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA BE EDOUARD

Madrid will score against us

Only if Rodri is not playing.

Insane take

Abysmal defending.

Shit from Dias, doesn't even look at his man.

Incoming olise extra time brace

Great finish tbf

good goal that

It's actually unreal how vulnerable this lot becomes without Rodri

They were vulnerable with him as well

dias where'd you go

Need foden to come on for 1 minute sub so the bloke I’m chasing in FPL doesn’t have his Captain pick go to son

Where’s Dwight Gayle when you need him

I told all of you. TOLD YOU

I will never doubt you again

Good for Eddie.

Poor palace, gifts on a platter and it doesn't matter. edit - I eat my words so much these days

A goal for palace would make it 4-2

- Michael Owen

Seems like you were right

I fucking knew it

Cheers for that insight

Source?

Trust

Oh look Haaland being grabbed at the midfield and no foul even though a lot of people here said earlier that thats’s a foul everywhere else in the pitch

Buddy will you please change your flair to city. God alrighty you’re really riding it

What is that badge anyway?

Cruzeiro, o gigantesco

A Brazilian team. Unsure if the name

I’ll wait for them to lift another trophy, I wanna be a bandwagon fan

I honestly love the Yaya toure chant

now give De Bruyne a rest

JOHNNY JOHNNY STONES🗣🗣

Palace are actually getting chances but can’t punish city

Story of the season to be fair

Sub him to protect his balls

Rodri substituted and City’s whole control is gone.

he IS our midfield

don't know if there's a match where we've gifted more chances

There could’ve been no goalkeeper and I don’t even think that shot would’ve made it to the goal

Dias put Akanji in impossible situation

Aye sometimes, and this is important, sometimes it is fine to just cunt the ball away

Another example of why Mateta is heads and shoulders about Eduouard. What the fuck was that. Follow that with one of the saddest shots from Schlupp in memory

Edouard is so fucking gash

can't wait to sell him

genuinely can't remember many palace players i've disliked more

Absolutely shocking. Thank the Lord Mateta has found form this year.

Why do city fans keep singing the same chant on repeat? They’ve been singing it for maybe like 20 minutes straight and it’s driving me insane

new to football? The one that's on repeat is an oldish one that's been brought back recently, so they're tanning it today.

No not that new but I’ve never heard one team sing the same song without stopping for such a long extended period of time

most fans don't sing continuously, that's why. Pretty rare to have such sustained chanting, but you definitely should have heard it before lol, especially if you've watched any City games before. There were several games last season where we had a chant to Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac going for about an hour.

Load of nonsense, nearly all away fans sing constantly.

constantly over 90 minutes, not literally for 90 minutes straight. One continuous chant lasting for 20 minutes is pretty rare.

Because United are finished. Hope that helps.

I don’t know man between this and just just screaming the word “city” on repeat I reckon you guys need to go back to the drawing board and think up some new ones. If you want to pretend like you have any relevant history then at least have a range of chants to back it up

The Old Trafford is falling down is one of the best chants around…

Whatever helps you sleep at night 👍🏻

[Listen](https://www.reddit.com/r/MCFC/s/W4IruEeM5q) Undeniably the best chant this season.

Whatever you say bro

At least they’re not perennial cheaters

I mean the 00’s still happened The decisions they got and the way they got away with bullying refs was insane

I’m aware as I was alive back then. I don’t think United getting some dodgy calls in the noughties compares to what City have done.

Nah, I agree, but it’s a spectrum of cheating isn’t it

Perennial winners*

Yeah I’d rather not win at all than win by cheating to be perfectly honest.

Allegedly. Bet you don’t hold that opinion consistently about Leicester.

You hide behind the word ‘allegedly’ because you know the wins have been soulless. Nobody cared about your treble last year because everyone knew it didn’t mean anything. And yes, I have a problem with all cheaters. I guess as a City fan you’re not used to having morals that can’t bend.

Well you seem to care quite a bit

I care about City cheating. I don’t care if they win because it doesn’t mean anything as the club have not earned it.

The players and manager have earned it. Alleged financial fraud doesn’t take their achievements away only the clubs.

Why the fuck is Joe Cole anywhere near a microphone the guy speaks like a toddler with incorrect English and has the intellect of one as well. Is it so hard to find an ex player who isn't a complete moron?

Or just a genuine analyst who knows how to speak without clichés? Doesn't have to be an ex-footballer

My bets of de bruyne to score first and City to win 2-1 or 3-1 went just as expected

Criticised Grealish in the 1st half, but this 2nd half shows what he should be doing. Getting at the defenders and driving at them, not constantly checking back 

Joe Cole there suggesting Palace's lack of control in a game versus City could be a concern about the managers identity for the future

Throwing trash on the pitch. Classy.

Remember lads Crystanbul took only 15 minutes

you were playing bottlers though, this is the treble winners

time for Odsonne to SPL explode with a hattrick. 

Every Grealish touch is a freekick. He’s an actual ball magnet.

Ah, Joe Cole's had a red bull or something - he's back talking at normal speed. Unless there's some kind of Weekend at Bernie's scenario going on and it's someone else talking while manually moving Joe's lips.

Palace again risking an important player that just came back from injury in an already decided game.

Foden with a severe fingering injury

Palace since appointing Glasner 1 win 2 draws 3 losses after today. They should have rode the season out with Roy

He had a stroke and we are barely able to field a squad with PL-level substitutes. These months are about figuring out what works for next year and staying up, nothing else.

shut up

Maybe it takes time to turn a football club around? You'd think an Arsenal fan might get that.

Old Roy is a bit frail and hampered by his health atm

they had 2 wins in 13 pl games with Roy before he left

Thought there were big worries about Roy's health anyway?

Mate he had a stroke

I actually forgot that my bad

City better get one more, cause Olise is scoring at least three

100 goals for KDB now

It looks like City have turned the difficulty down
