Today,
i was expecting a Luton loss and them nailed to an anchor travelling to the bottom of the sea.

The Luton match was far more upsetting than anything at Selhurst today.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

I agree with everyone that Eze didn't look sharp today, but he would have had a goal if Ayew had passed it (as he did last week) rather than rattle the crossbar yet again. And on Tuesday Eze would have earned the goal (on a similar sequence) if only Mateta hadn't been offside by the width of a toenail sliver.

So, Eze has lost two goals in a week because of his teammates, and both times he ran hard to threaten the opposition.

Sorry, I’m not in the league. The team i support is.

Under another manager we get slaughtered, under yet another manager we win. What was the point of that comment? We have who we have.

Yes we do. History has indeed been twisted. Man City would have won all these titles and trophies on our budget. In the same way that Pep could win the league with our current team. What planet are you on. The point I made was not about money it was about heritage. Money can’t buy that. It needs time.

He keeps playing the same players because that’s all we’ve got. We don’t have £500 million plus worth of players sitting on the bench.

The something else that is wrong is that our players are knackered by the 2nd half. Past regime didn’t put enough emphasis on fitness. City move teams side to side all day long. It takes a huge amount of effort and energy to try and stop that. Better teams than Palace have failed to do it.

Agree hole heartedly with your points. Those last two paras sums up why we are in the position we are in. It’s going to be tight and we need 3 to 6 more points to keep us up. There’s no guarantees in this league and all we need is a sending off in one of those games we might expect to get points in and that throws our hopes out the window. Andersen has been arguing with the ref in the last few matches and needs to watch himself. Yes, we should stay up but I’m not as confident as some about that.

There's a lot of talk about Eze not fitting the system but his problems yesterday were nothing to do with the system. He had plenty of the ball out wide and centrally he was just too slow to move the ball on and City quickly crowded him out. He has always struggled against the big teams as they know that the best way to stop us is to stop him.

Since his injury he just seems off the pace, whether that's mentally or physically I don't know but the idea that people want to get rid of him is insane. It was similar with Wilf in the past, he had a few bad games and everyone was saying we should sell him. Players go in and out of form, with very few enjoying constant success. I remember a few months back Liverpool fans saying they should drop Salah as he had a poor run of form! Give it a few games and people will probably be calling Eze our saviour and saying don't sell him for £100 million.

Also, as an aside, having Olise back will be huge as those two seem to operate on a telepathic level. Ayew for all his hard work is often a bit slower to make decisions.

At present we of course do not know what the situation will be regarding possible points deductions for both Everton and Nottm Forest and any such action could of course have a significant bearing on the league places.We could well survive purely down to teams being docked points!

There are those who are considering the possibility that Glasner might not be in charge should we plummet through that relegation trapdoor, indeed some have opined that he might not be the right person to lead the club in the Championship.
