That is on Unai. Terrible decisions tonight. So much for the CL...

We looked tired, leggy, devoid of pace and ideas. Another late goal.

This is the game we could have done without in the run in. And it’s the score we didn’t need.

It’s not lights out for us in the CL race, but we’ve just made it a lot harder for ourselves

Terrible subs. Not a great performance. Very disappointing.

We showed absolutely no desire to win or hold the ball in the last 10 mins of that game.
Just jockeying and standing off players.
Ollie didn’t lead or fight from the front, they were allowed to bring the ball out unchallenged.

Man City fought, chased and tried to force the game, which ultimately paid off.

Disasi, Konsa and Torres, all absolutely fucking shit for that gol.

Disasi IS NOT a right back.

He's been responsible for two injury time goals

PSG's 3rd in Paris - put us out of this year's Champs League

This one tonight - has it cost us a place in next year's ECL?

Why was Rogers left on for so long, Emre played for a point and we got screwed. disappointing performance all round.

The changes should have come at least 20 minutes earlier. Very poor in-game managerment this time.

The second half was very poor. Too negative, too much respect shown and ridiculous to still put Disasi at right back. Ultimately we didn't deserve anything from the game.

Realistically going to be very difficult to finish top 5 now.

Horribly reminiscent of PSG away.

We were asking for that all second half.

Right back has been a weakness all season and Disasi even worse than Cash or Konsa. Worrying given Palace’s width!

Got to win our last four games. That should be enough imo.

Slight problem, one of them is in Manchester.

The first 6 pointer we have lost and it feels bad. CL place is gone.

Roy Keane saying we should learn from Stockport, what? Learn to cheat?

Anyway, justice aside, I was worried about Doku against Desasi, and that proved to be the difference.

I do agree with Keane that we lacked belief that we could win it.

But that empty husk of a football ground is definitely a bogey venue for us.

Man city was there, for the taking...   but we respected a team who are not as good as PSG or Newcastle....    very odd.

It did have a feeling of settling for a draw in that second half. Which is fine if you play your tightest defence.

Saturday give Garcia a run out at RB. And push Rogers to the subs bench
