That'll definitely be the narrative, which unfortunately a lot of our fans will swallow up too.
It wasn't exactly our strongest XI either, we brought Ben Davies on ffs. Should be happy with that win, just can't understand anybody who isn't.

He was back to normal after the break though. Richy missed a sitter.Johnson was anonymous. God we need a top winger and top striker.
Look at City players’ reactions any time they have won this cup…..they wanted it.
People laugh at this, but we just pummeled them 3-0 at their place in a match that saw us put up the highest xG in the league this season. Thats a rough draw for them.United got the toughest draw mate.
Saints also got a tough draw going to Liverpool, but they get to play them 3 weeks before to get ready for it. They won’t be intimidated.
Palace goes on the road, but they are playing a team that just likes to sit back and foul a lot so pretty good chance for that match to go Pens.
We can't expect Werner to turn into Haaland after his goal against City but that doesn't mean it can't be the start of better things. That goal will have done wonders for his confidence - if we can get behind him, it might be something he can build on.
I’d like to think so but just can’t see it. Johnson on the other hand is a fair weather player, no bravery at all.
Turned on the radio ( talksport) earlier today and just caught the end of a guy who was apparently from the fighting cock , who was that ?
Sorry , didn't know where else to ask this.

They made 6 changes from the weekend and we made 5 changes. Both sides half-rotated.
Home draw against the scum of scum. Must smash this bunch of cunts again. Badly. I mean really badly. Already got long disowned family back on their perch after their demolition of relegation fodder at home.
There are no excuses for this one Ange.
Do not let these fuckers or this draw ruin the rest of my year. I’ve had enough shit to deal with. And I’ve handled it well Lord. But not this. Don’t do it to me.

Richy was a fucking thorn in their side. Loved his performance. Utter shithouse. Johnson was ok. Very happy with that after the absolute abortion performance on Sunday.
Two questions
1. Why do we always play City so tough, and yet lose to the like of Palace?
2. When will we (Ange) realize we suck balls at passing out of the back?

What on earth? Do you even watch football? Loads of teams invert fullbacks these days - not least Gvardiol at City or even Rico Lewis.
Utterly fucking bizarre take. Inverted fullbacks are everywhere in football. Christ almighty...
Udogie was a fantastic defender last year - he's just having to play too much football and is having second year blues. It's not the role that's the problem
Maybe it wasn't their best XI but the XI they put out was better than at least the bottom half of the prem, and prob better than the top 12-14 teams either. It was not an easy win whatsoever.
Ben played well in his role- won a couple key challenges, hit the deck hard a few times, passed very crisply! Hes much better a CB than people give him credit for, and especially as a backup lefty- we are VERY fortunate to have him, and especially so not being a dramatic whiner, and an actual team player and mature human being. I was very glad to see still has it today. Consummate professional, no doubt.
HELL YEA! Pissing in peoples cheerios and making them sad about their upset ambitions! Gives me that fresh chill in my body like the heights of the old Poch and Redknapp days!
