Premier League Not So Festive Season

Why do City tend to struggle against Palace more often than other teams? Would like to see some analysis on this.

it's not just crystal palace but Pep hasn't beaten Hodgson.
 
Aguero and De Bruyne better be on after the break.

Resting two of your best players against a team you always struggle against. Nice move, you baldy cnut.
 
I’d find City losing at home to Palace more funny if it weren’t for the fact those scouse cnuts are top.
 
Just goes to show you how dumb football fans are. Constantly predicting "easy" wins for City and Liverpool, both finishing with over 100 points, they'll never drop points against crap sides. It really doesn't work like that in truth.
 
Well that’s one of the best goals in premier league history. And I’m annoyed by it. This season is grim.

Stones is at DM, Silva is their only creator and he's playing near the forwards. Just a strange selection/tactics from Guardiola.

Bare in mind that quite a few players are just having a picnic out there. Not a lot of pass and move, and the runs from their forwards are very lax.
 
but if they lose, who will city fans blame? they always claim to be victims of cheating or biased refs, so i wonder.

Bar Liverpool, they are right up there for bitterness

They'll blame UEFA for a busier fixture schedule so their players are fatigued :D
 
 
Palace have a decent record vs Chelsea, not City. Clueless posters here as usual.
 
Ings proving to be a bargain for Southampton.
Nice to see Liverpool do something nice for their feeder team.
BTW, any chance Liverpool have of keeping ings after the loan?
 
Why the feck did baldy not start Aguero?

He loves himself a false 9, Guardiola has butted heads with every proper striker he has managed. Eto'o, Zlatan, Lewandoski, Aguero. They don't really have the qualities that he wants.

I think if he could he'd play midfielders in every position on the pitch, a goalscoring attacking midfielder as a striker would be perfect for him.
