Crystal palace are going to beat man ****ty

[Sus]

Not this time I don't think - they won't get the space on the counter they did earlier on

Think it's going to have to be us

[Fosterbloke]

Just when you least expect it, City will draw and we'll be right onto them. Ideally we need them to lose to some one (or two draws) for us not to need more than a point against them.

We could easily get beat against Arsenal.

Huh? It’s a bigger possibility than Palace beating City.

Not easily no. We could definitely drop points against them though. On current form a draw is highly likely.

That would be probability, not possibility (possibility is binary).

But yes, the odds for palace beating city are around 4 times greater than those for arsenal beating us.

100m for grealish, its like buying a toy that doesnt work

[Fosterbloke]

Get in there Palace!

I'm not sure why they'd want a striker or a focal point in their attack. Been doing really well without one and made them even more unpredictable.

And right on cue, City answer for you...

Did anyone see the post match? My dad said Neville wasn't very happy

Thing is that no forwards thing wears pretty thin when Pep has and has had forwards/strikers there but either did not give them starts or played them in other positions.

Jesus is the starting striker for Brazil more often than not and Pep shunts him out wide.

In the summer, he sold Torres who starts up front for Spain on a regular basis and has 12 goals from 22 games for Spain.

So sytraight away he has/had two guys good enough to be starting strikers for Brazil and Spain but he choose not to play them as strikers for City.

Yet the media narrative is constantly one of how poor Pep never has a striker
and how their results are almost against all odds given they supposedly never have a striker.

How come over the past five seasons the same excuse does not get made by the media for Liverpool and Klopp, after all for most of that time Liverpool have not played with an out and out striker either.

Still unsure about this. They are usually clinical and have more or less the same goal difference than us, but for sure we are more potent. They need a goal scoring forward, in the same mould as the players they’ve got. Haaland will be a focal point, which they don’t need as it’s not their style. Might be Pep wanting to evolve their game possibly.

[Pablo]

If they signed Haaland it is hard to imagine them as anything other than unstoppable. That lack of a top goalscorer is about their only weakness on paper.

They might need to tweak a few things to fit someone like him in, but for someone at his level it can't be that hard to do surely?

Remember they tried to sign Kane so they were definitely looking to move in that direction already.
