After the first goal it felt like we put our Man City cap on. Just slowing everything down and being methodical. Wasn’t the most entertaining game tbh and the first half I thought we were poor but sometimes you need to win clever and that’s what we did.
I thought our second half was as good a professional performance as you're likely to see by any team.

Slightly ruined by a defensive lapse by Porro and Var shitting the bed and a ref giving 8 minutes when it was no lore than 4 at most

Likening Davis to a traffic cone is the very definition of disrespect. Saying “no disrespect” straight after doesn’t cancel it out.
Not at all, I’ve always liked Davies in a back three and he had a couple of decent cameos last season as a fb, the problem we’ve got is that Destiny is such an upgrade on what we’ve had in previous seasons.
As I said previously in this thread within about ten minutes you could see our cbs outlet was either right, middle or up to Richie, it was like playing with ten men.
Ange obviously saw it at half time hence Emerson coming on.

Palace comitted 19 fouls and got 2 yellows. The irony being that Ayew got his yellow for dissent and not any of the 8 fouls he committed in the game.
After Paulina was allowed to kick our players off the park without a card it's fine for Spurs hierarchy to have a word with the powers that be.

I was not able to watch it tonight but read a little in this thread and you would think Richy played the worst game in football history. Now I managed to watch the first highlight and all 4 of our attacks worth showing in the first half were thanks to him. Sonny and Kulu were not shown at all.

nearly all his passes and first touches were too heavy or went in the wrong direction. He was poor. And I’m a fan of his.

It clearly wasn't blatant as it took so long to review. Commentators couldn't see anything, so to me it is not clear and obvious.
They are lying. It was clear as day from the first replay. I was cursing Porro then saying he was very lucky cos of the handball - stunned that var bottled that call.

when was the last time an opposition manager said this about US (excluding playing some non league FA Cup team)

Agree completely. The most obvious handball I've seen in a long time. Ayew himself knew it
Ayew even went up to the ref, showing he had his arm to his body (which he obviously didn't). So more or less admitted handballing it. Still, he got the goal. Mind-blowing.

Was just about to post this.

Its time...BJ in for Richarlison.
I tend to agree what I would say though is that very often the substitute often benefits from the hard graft that the player has put in for 70 minutes.
The fresh legs against a tired defender is a factor. Swap them around I wouldn’t have been surprised to see the same result.
