Keep it up 2nd half and get that 2nd goal.

Willian goal should've stood.  Also he missed a great run from Alonso around the 40' mark.  Barkley looks off today so far but on the flip side always happy to see Morata score (with his feet!).

Similarly to Burnley, Palace tried to come out super quickly and punch us in the mouth. Seemed every ref decision went their way, every deflected ball fell to a Palace player, and of course Zaha morphs into God-form Messi against us.

But about 25 mins onward we took control and dominated. 

Barkley wasn't poor here but he put us in danger several times on the counter due to loose touches or square passes across the middle. For me, this is the sort of opponent Kovacic needs to start instead. Much better close control and in tight spaces.

Morata has actually been a bit physical too. So glad to see that. He is a big lad, he needs to show more aggro.

City trashed Southampton with ease, damn...

Great summation. Slack paases from Barkley, Kante, and Azpi are my main issues. And that shit offsides call.

The scary thing is that the underlying statistics and metrics suggest that they are even better than last year.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

You knew would happen. Defence went walkies! 

[Vesper 27,310]

that offside call may really fuck us badly, grrrrr

surely we can knock in 2 more or so
