Well we lost 3-0 against Palace so there you go Palace was worse.

love Fuchs but he is becoming a liability

Long throw is about it I'm afraid. Then they don't come off anyway

 

You’ve left your italics lock on mate

We're attempting to go forward - albeit it too many misplaced passes.

 

Listen we're still losing, it's not great but we were a ****ing disgrace v Palace.

 

in what way is it 'worse'?

Maybe it’s worse simply because it’s no better.

 

No attempt to do anything right tonight, let alone interesting.

Shame Ndidi is suspended then

Surely he's suspended for the league and not the league cup?

Palace's first team are miles better than this Manchester City second string... This performance is every bit as bad as against Crystal Palace so far!

Hope I'm wrong but I've had that feeling like we're just not going to score tonight since the first half. Sometimes you can just tell.

Agree, Pads. One of those games where we could play all night and not score

That was a competitive game. I can’t say this is.

 

It’s been approached like a reserve match by both sides.

We didn't turn up!!

[lifted*fox]

good, mangala has been begging a good hit in the face all game.

[M0901]

Everyone begged for Vardy and Mahrez. Game hasn't changed. Makes no odds on a night like tonight.

[trabuch]

Get off the pitch Mangala. It's bad enough that our attack was stopped because he smashed his nose against the back of Vardy's head, but why is he being treated on the pitch and holding up the game??

[sdb]

could Andy king do any less? 

[Carl the Llama]

Surely a nosebleed can be dealt with off the pitch.

Sarcasm lost on the internet.

 

Wooosh!

[Chester Dontlie]

WTF is that cant he bleed off the field FFS

[sishades]

Anyone else as bored as I am. What a wasted opportunity this is turning out to be.

[MC Prussian]

Looking slightly better in this second half, but still think our central midfield is nowhere near its best and criminally lacking influence or possession.

King seems to have put a spell on Iborra, dragging him down underneath that cloak.

So do we now think a new LB is more important than a new RB?

Both !! ??

Defensively strong but isn’t Puel wanting his full backs to get forward and support? (The main criticism on this forum of Simpson)

Im struggling to think of one occasion where Big Dan has yet offered anything going forward?

Think outside the box mate. Don’t just look at a big lump of a full back. There’s a bigger picture..

 

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Rather lose by two or three than lose by one with a whimper 

[baldeagle]

Can King actually pass forward
