Haha, love Pep

9 yellow cards and 4 players off injured? The result of frustration on both sides?

No, Palace players have caused all 4 injuries and should be fined after and/or banned.

City have hardly been dirty...

 

[Shamikebab]

Well at least TFM is playing well.

 

[jonneymendoza]

lucky city. how did they get away with that?

Happening too often. Players seem to be getting away with some bloody awful challenges of late and the FA dont seem to be bothered about it.

Didn't say they'd been dirty, but 4 yellows isn't typical of a team that were cool calm and collected as we've come to expect of them

 

[BaZ87]

Interesting to see whether Zaha gets a suspension for the penalty.

He should but probably wont. Its happened a few times since Niasse and i dont recall anyone else receiving punishment ?

Frustration at seeing a few Palace lads trying to kill them probs.

 

[Robert]

Hopefully nobody is injured, but (as much as I like him) Pep's had some of the slimiest teams going.

 

[jonneymendoza]

lets be honest. we all want city to lose to make the title fight interesting. its none existent right now and boring

 

[Robert]

City have been genuinely good to watch. One thing from that game, TFM looked great. I haven't watched Palace, but may be United should recall him?

 

[Shamikebab]

but may be United should recall him?

No way, he'll just rot in the reserves like Tuanzebe is. He's better off getting regular football than twiddling his thumbs playing fifa each weekend.

City will definitely slip up soon if better teams play like palace did today.

Shame the pen didn’t go in!

Fair point, Tuanzebe should be a starter imo.

 

[BaZ87]

Michael Owen discussing two areas where he's an expert - injuries and missing penalties.

Lol so true!

Wow I'm just about calmed down after that match - What a game!

Gutted about the missed pen, but never mind - It was a great point for Palace, that was well deserved.

Potential Controversial view incoming - I don't think Zaha will get a ban for diving - It's not clear enough of a dive in my opinion, Sterling was on top of him.

However, I do feel the ref maybe should have just given a free kick for the foul just before the pen appeal.

One other point - Hennessy really deserves his position after that match - He's played **** all season, but produced a great Goalkeeping performance there. I expect him to start next match.

Onwards and upwards - We can't be relegated now, we're almost playing like a top 10 side now! What a turn around! Come on the Woy!
