Crystal Palace (H) 19/1/19

[Ronnie Whelan]

Think city could struggle at palace. They play later in the season and i reckon they will still be challenging for 3 trophies. Palace are a fucking dangerous team with the likes of zaha running at tired legs.

 

Unfortunately, tomorrow with huddersfield is damage limitation. 14 games to go....

[Captain Howdy]

Everybody keeps saying how dangerous Palace are but they’re  8 points below Everton which means thay are very clearly shite

Failed to give handball against Townsend in their area. Wrongly gave it against us. They go upfield and score.

I'm not sure he blew for a foul rather than a handball. Personally I thought it was very borderline anyway. The fact they scored on the break was our own fault really.  Seen many worse refs than Moss today ,

They won their last two away games at Man City and Wolves, and they've won at Anfield in three of the last four seasons. I'd say that qualifies them as dangerous.

They've won their last two away games at City and Wolves. I think when Zaha plays then the team play.

I see that Klopp has called Zaha world-class in his post-match interview.

He's signing.

Too charitable. After Spurs last season, nothing short of Moss being fed to Mason Verger’s carnivorous pigs will do.

Put a decent manager in there and they'll challenge for top 7, I reckon.

They did have something.  On Radio Merseyside I heard them all enjoying a cheer when our half-time score was read out at  St Mary's. 

We've got the Big Mac, they've got the Big Mick

[Captain Howdy]

They’re three points from the relegation zone........lethal

I'm all heart .

[Ronnie Whelan]

Palace are a dangerous side because they have unpredictable players. Zaha is a terrific player on his day.

 

Put it like this, if you were a city fan would you relish going there later in the season with tired legs and zaha and ayew running at you?

He's unbelievably talented. A player like him who can beat defenders 1 on 1 so consistently is a player that any manager will appreciate.

 

I'd have him here tomorrow. Plays all forward positions and if he played with players of similar quality to himself the end product would probably improve. 

Been a pretty consistent naysayer about him, he's not consistent enough, nor does he score enough.  But the chances he'd create for us if he performed at that level... I wouldn't be upset at him being part of the side.

Ozil's wrapped up like Scott of the Antarctic the fucking fanny. Speaks volumes as to why he's shit in the PL.

They have loads of pace and Zaha to create on the counter. That's how they can be a big danger. But when they play sides who don't dominate the ball, which is most of the league, they have no plan. 

[rubble-rouser]

11 days off now. R &R - get Trent, Lovren, Gini & Gomez back, get the rest of the lads smashed on the beach.

Must be hard coming here from a warm country like Germany though.

Been at work so was checking live score every few minutes which was stressful as fuck!

 

These are the types of games that title winners win, we suffered a few set backs throughout the game and still came out on top.

[Jennings]

I thought the ref was OK today.

 

I was at the game so don't have the benefit of the TV cameras but I liked that he wasn't too fussy.

 

I was disappointed that he didn't pick Speroni up for blatant time wasting - but most refs don't have the balls to enforce that rule for some reason.

Do you want to go in the pig pen with Moss and Magicrat? Because if that’s what you want, that’s what will happen.

[Jennings]

What about Andy Robbo though!? I love him.

As horrible as it is to watch it’s all the more amusing that you know United and Everton fans probably switched to watching our game and City fans were probably buzzing off us going 1-0 down and drawing late on.  Only to get absolutely had off.  It only would have been made better by a penalty decision going our way.
