Late on, Nacho comes on for Vardy and slots home from close range to give us a comfortable 3-0 win. My nightmare:- Following tippy-tappy passing in our own half, a bad pass leaves Zaha free on goal to slot home past Kasper after just 10 minutes. Half an hour gone and big Wes brings down the same player just outside our box. The ref gives Wes a yellow card and a penalty to Palace, to make it 2-0 to them. Soon after half-time, Wes is off following another foul. Late on, Palace score a third, giving them a 3-0 win. We can't possibly lose 4 at home on the spin, can we? ... Yep.
String fellow Posted 17 February 2019 Posted 17 February 2019 How many of Riyad goal's have come in the dying moments of Man City's games, when the games have already been won?

Wes starting will definitely have me pinching myself to make sure it’s not a bad dream haha

Not saying you've got an agenda, it's just amusing to me how many times I've seen that phrase repeated ever since halfway through Puel's run of bad form last season.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 17 February 2019 Posted 17 February 2019 Lets get Roy-ed again, help him turn back the hands of time Lets get Roy-ed again one more time
Vardinio'sCat Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 8 hours ago, Tanya said: I wouldn’t be surprised if Puel plays Mendy. When on form (which, to be honest, he hasn't been of late ) Mendy does simple things well - tackles, drops deep to give the CBs an easy 'out' if the opposition is pressing high up the pitch and recycles the ball quickly. I think he is one of our better players when it comes to interceptions, which means in theory he should be suited next to Tillermans. For all that, I hope Puel plays Wilf, since I believe in rewarding a good performance, I'm just saying I can see the argument for seeing how Mendy would fare now that we finally have a deep-lying creative midfielder this club has been crying out for. I also really, really hope he plays Vardy. Vards is in average form tbh but still way more polished in terms of finishing than anyone else at the club. I think you are right that Mendy would also benefit from the simpler role and might be superior, especially when we expect to have a lot of the ball. But Wilf did really well, and looked revitalised by the tactical change, so it is a tough call. The pre-match banter will be peachy if Claude picks Papy, but I think both Wilf and Papy are very good DMC's, so I don't really mind which one plays.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 If tielemans, Madders and Barnes can get there heads up, and Vardy keeps his views to himself, we could take them apart. Even more than usual, we need to get the first goal. If we see that and the confidence starts to flow, we might get proper Roy-venge!
Fightforever Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 I still can't believe a roy hodgson team is beating us 9-0 in the last 3 games. Mad.

Agree with this Our rather drab midfield suddenly becomes a very good attacking midfield! I’ve watched Tielemans once and know I’d like us to sign him. Barnes will come good. He needs a couple of good performances to up his confidence. And Madders too.
Daveb5569 Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 can't lose to these tin pots their supporters already think they are bigger than they are need to shut them up.
dynamark Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 Riyad only usually gets on the pitch for the last few minutes hence the late goals. Palace didn't do anything special yesterday but they did look organised and strong.
foxes21 Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 When it comes to parked buses, Palace are probably one of the hardest to break down. On top of that they have a real threat going forward. If we can win this hopefully it will give us the confidence to beat other similar teams.
RonnieTodger Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 I've just seen that it's 2 years since that awful day at Millwall. I was about to say we've come a fair way since then, but remembered we lost to League 2 Newport, so never mind. Anyway, I'd bring Vardy back in for Gray and that's it from the last game.

The way they set up against is us nigh on perfect and brings out the very worst in us. The added bit of movement I saw against Spurs and some quick ball from the middle might finally finally counter attack that, but I'm not sure.
String fellow Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 For what it's worth, City's next 3 opponents are all in the 6th. Round of the FA Cup.

Good observation yes. He's scored 10 times this season but 8 of those have come in 'romps'. He did score the winners for them away at Spurs and Watford though. he's not had a bad first season, but at the mo it looks like we've got the better half of that deal for the £60m we got for him. Would we swap him for Barnes right now? Probably not.

A very respected world class coach. Not all has worked out for him but him still managing in the premiership is outstanding. He'd only have to be in the game 5 minutes to work out our Kasper to Chilwell huff and hit them down the flanks as the full backs are further up the field than the wingers game plan. IMO he'd get more out of our set of players than the current incumbent 1976–1980 Halmstad 1982 Bristol City 1982 Oddevold 1983–1984 Örebro 1985–1989 Malmö 1990–1992 Neuchâtel Xamax 1992–1995 Switzerland 1995–1997 Inter Milan 1997–1998 Blackburn Rovers 1999 Inter Milan (caretaker) 1999–2000 Grasshoppers 2000–2001 Copenhagen 2001 Udinese 2002–2004 United Arab Emirates 2004–2005 Viking 2006–2007 Finland 2007–2010 Fulham 2010–2011 Liverpool 2011–2012 West Bromwich Albion 2012–2016 England 2013 England U-21 (caretaker) 2017–Crystal Palace

dynamark Posted 18 February 2019 Posted 18 February 2019 Your honour in reference to my previous comment. The three ex Leicester lads all scored and got through with their teams to last 8 in FA cup They were all probably the best for their teams on the pitch that day So well done and we miss you - in some ways But we have to move on and concentrate on our next few league games to get some sadly missing points.
