With this weekend results no damage has been seriously done. Beat Bournmouth and I think that should be enough for CL qualification.

3-1 Palace, I doubt we will score but I gave us credit in hope more than anything. I think we will have 75% of possession and do nothing with it because we lack creativity. Palace will hit us on the break. Remember,  Wolves should have scored 2, Palace questionable offide decision that would have made it 0-3.
I cannot see us winning this one, the season end can't come quick enough, get the WCC over with then reset for next season.
Remember,  we can't win everything every season: onwards and upwards! 😁

It's very difficult to have much confidence after the performance at Southampton. Even before that, results were better than performances and we have rode our luck in recent wins. Maybe I will feel better as the match approaches but for now, I feel that Palace have as much chance as City of lifting the cup.

3-0 City

Palace bang on form and City all over the place

In Pep we trust

Yet again, another toothless, clueless, and unimaginative performance. Play like this next week with no creativity and we will lose. Palace won't park the bus for 90 minutes like Southampton did today.
I agree with Hesperus, the return of Rodri will not rectify this lack of creativity.

What's annoying me is the lack of game time Pep's giving to some of our higher performing players atm, especially when the lower performing players are getting in ahead.

Foden, McAtee and Silva are very similar players. Players that like the ball at their feet and to play a "killer pass" or curl a shot fromt he edge of the box.  To play 3 in a team against a side that was always going to put 11 men behind the ball is criminal as it was too static, no movement or pulling the opposition players out of position.
Though I do find it weird to question on e ofbthe greatest managers in the game 

But still, more fucking movement!!!!

Wrong. We had chances late on but honestly that was wretched stuff from a really poor City side against one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

I tell you what. We're gonna struggle next season too. The drop off in our game won't be rectified by Rodri returning.

One of the worst PL sides ever and we look bang average against them when we've got CL beckoning. Deep problems in the team and management.

A really poor, toothless first half from City. Very disappointing indeed.
