My view is that we will be on the back foot throughout the game as Man C, pass,pass,pass and it will be a horrible spectacle for us supporters.

Really?
That wasn't how we won two years ago or got a draw last year at the Etihad. Nor was it how Southampton beat them etc. The way to beat Citeh is to be ready to break the press and then attack swiftly and clinically. Unfortunately, we may have the 'quick' part but not the 'clinical'. My heart says a draw but my head tells me that this time Citeh will beat us.

For a club like Palace and the ups and downs we've seen over the years, I'm very satisfied with our team, current position and I'm prepared to take the rough with the smooth. Man City are on another level to us, so I will not be to devistated if we give our all and end up losing 4-0. Although with an unexpected draw and getti g the rub of the green I will be delighted. I remember when Charlton fans got angry when they were always mid table under Alan C, they was calling for his head, asking for a manager to take them to the next level. Be careful what you wish for, Palace have some great players, a good manager that knows how to keep us playing in the best league in the world. Long may it continue.

Man C have scored in EVERY home game this season in all competitions.

Miracles do happen, but they don't happen often.
Against Arsenal, we put up a great fight, but Arsenal is not Citeh.
If Citeh hits its stride, and we are below par, then 7-0 is entirely possible, such is the gulf in class between the two teams. But they are not necessarily stronger than when we won there two seasons ago with that incredible strike from Townsend, nor are we weaker. We have to be at our very best.

I fear this could be embarrassing but I live in hope.COYP
