Palace

Spiky Pep going after the Palace keeper, what a mug

Yeh never get why people whine about early controversy, should Henderson of been off ? Yes, but it didn’t happen. Man City had 100+ mins of football to score against palace, they couldn’t do it including missing a penalty. The Henderson thing was a contributor but it wasn’t the underlying reason they lost

No doubt they’ll whine like b!tches tho

Mitchell also got a touch on the ball for the City pen, so they got one call in their favour, and one against. Hardly the worst fortune.

Henderson would have been better than Jorgensen or Sanchez last year

If Pets has been as good as reported in France really must be the number one for us next year.

We'll likely sell Petrovic, Chalobah and Santos because the club don't admit when they're wrong, and they'll be easier to find buyers for than our actual dead wood.

He didn't need that year in France to prove it though. He was really good for us in the second half of last season after displacing Sanchez

Only we could decide to make our inferior number 2 keeper our number 1 while loaning out our superior number 1 lol. As it was at the end of last season.

Delighted for Palace, but that Henderson handball decision had happened agst us I would be claiming conspiracy

He did look suspect on crosses, but easily our best keeper

City lol.

Eze, Mateta, and Wharton are all quite good. The RWB pretty decent as well.

We've been linked with Wharton

And Eze and Mateta.

I'd probably take about half of that Palace side including Guehi

Santos will come back, I'll be very surprised if he doesn't (will take a very big offer) - Paez will go to Strasbourg.

Petrovic will probably be sold to Strasbourg. Should be against the rules but of course it isn't

If Lavia had been fit all season and we'd had a top class striker and keeper we'd have challenged for the title if not won it this season imo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No way.

This has some validity to be fair

Yeah exactly, it's not that far fetched when you consider that we were in a position where we were considered challenging for the title before Christmas.

Before our form fell off a cliff. Maybe with Lavia all season, a top striker and top keeper in the side that cliff moment never happens.

And we at least tail Liverpool in second place above a poor City and Arsenal this season. Not as if either of those two provided much competition this season so finishing above those isn't out of the realms of plausibility at all imo.

Title? No

Comfortably in CL and maybe even a distant second to Liverpool on 70-72 points, very possible

Very possible.

To compete for title we'd need players that could score and a keeper that didn't chuck one in every third game.

Basically a winger with 12-15 PL goals and a striker with 20 plus, and Palmer

Wingers with 12 - 15 goals a year don't exists

Name 3 ?

Santos made captain for Strasbourg tonight, scores a goal

Chilwell is finally a FA cup winner

Today - Salah, Son, Saka
10 years ago - Hazard, Mane, Sterling
15/20 years ago - Ronaldo, Bale, Pires

Most title winning teams have a winger capable of this mate. Even Leicester had it.

A reliably consistent goal scoring winger isn't common, neither is a 20 goal a season striker. You generally win the league when the players capable of those feats do them at the same time.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a winger, just a secondary source of goals in high volume, e.g. Lampard.

Anelkalouda chipped in well

They lost! In the 99th minute! They ended up finishing 7th, and didn’t even make the Conference League!

And only a week ago CL was looking very possible
