Crystal palace has always been a difficult opponent for Manchester City. But I didn't expect Manchester City to surrender a 2:0 lead after 70 minutes has been played. Sometimes I begin to wonder what you are looking for wen you are 2 goals ahead. Just protect the goals you have scored and forget to score more.
Manchester City relent and this cause them to share points with Crystal Palace unexpectedly, no one saw this coming and it just happened before anyone could thought of it. Crystal Palace was not dominating but they did play to become one of the very competitive club that poses threat on City ground. The eagles sacking Patrick Viera from the headcoach position and returning to give the former coach, Roy Hodgson a second chance of examining his position and he was appointed as headcoach for the second time, and he's trying to make things right. Crystal Palace traveled to Etihad Stadium and settle for draw points.
What are you really trying to say when you say Manchester City succumbed? Are they trying to give points to their opponents in this match. I can say that Crystal Palace were very lucky in this match, because they were able to create an equalizer in the final minutes before the game ended. With such control of the match, Manchester City are very worthy of victory, but they are very unlucky in this match so they have to swallow an unsatisfactory result for them. This result makes them stuck in 4th place in the standings, by collecting 34 points. And if the club above them can achieve maximum results this week, it makes their point difference will widen.
I also dont agree with the statement about Man City giving in and sharing points. this is an erroneous assumption and it is not certain whether he really watched the match or not even though it is very clear that playing without Haaland is a loss for Man City because he is a scoring machine for Man City Guardiola, however, will not cause big problems for Man City because there is still Alvarez who replaces his position and the result is that Man City is superior by getting 2 scores while Crystal Palace only has 1 score but surprisingly Phil Foden made a mistake which resulted in a penalty kick and finally ended in a draw with a score of 2 -2.
from this statement it is very clear that Man City is not giving in and I think Guardiola would not be so silly as to give in to a middle class team when in fact Man City really needs 3 points.
very sorry to see this draw but however this was a surprise penalty taken by a Crystal Palace player and I think actually Phil Foden also accidentally kicked a Crystal Palace player's leg because the ball was behind him and quickly wanted to kick the ball but didn't know if there was a player who runs quickly leading to the ball and ultimately the foul.
and Haaland absence really has a negative impact on the City team performance decline and it looks like Haaland will soon be back on the field and I want to see Man City return to the top of the standings because the UCL is on holiday and this is an opportunity for big teams to immediately compete to be at the top of the standings.
btw Spurs performance yesterday was very interesting, they managed to beat Nottingham even though Bissouma got a red card, but at least Spurs were able to win the match and do you think Spurs will come back like before?
