Now we simply have to beat Nottingham Forest tomorrow.

It's now 3:1 already, Manchester City are really having a great night and I can tell you that this form will definitely push them far in the league. Crystal Palace will definitely go to relocation this season because looking at what they are playing in this Mancity game, you will be upside with the kind of chances they are missing, and if they continue playing this kind football, they will see themselves in the religion zone.
Most teams strengthen their club this summer transfer windows, but it seems they didn't sign players that can fill in that void left by some players that left the club, like Eze and Guehi

I didn’t realise it was Crystal Palace vs Man City tonight. They weren’t very convincing in their first game (City) so I am hoping that on a night time kick off at Palace where their fans are notoriously hostile, that City drop points. Let’s remember Pep has gone and the invincibility City had is no more.

Even though Pep is no longer coaching Man City, since the current coach is Enzo Maresca, I believe Man City will win today’s match. although I do see some doubts about Man City, I think Crystal Palace is in much worse shape. Crystal Palace even suffered a crushing 2-0 loss to Everton in the first week. And I think Crystal Palace might face the same fate in this match. In my opinion, the most likely outcome is a win or a draw for Man City. However, I don’t expect both teams to score in this match. I think Crystal Palace will likely play cautiously and avoid an aggressive, attacking style; they’ll probably focus on defense and rely on counterattacks.

Manchester City is already leading with 2 goals ahead of Crstal Palace, even before the start of this match i know Manchester City will not loose this match because they are actually in a good form even without Pep, maresca is not a bad manager he can manage this club is just that he's not as good as Pep Guardiola.

We've seen this from them, I just hope they be able to maintain a good performance for this season. Arsenal is fully ready to make same record as last season, it'll be a tough season for both let's see.

2-0 Man City after a great goal by Cherki and that really should be game over. It will be two wins out of two games for Maresca, he couldn’t have asked for a better start.

Now we simply have to beat Nottingham Forest tomorrow.

There was an additional 2 goals from Manchester City players although one into their own goal but it does not make the flow of the game different because 3 points are definitely in the can of Manchester City in this match.

The intensity is still fast because it looks like Manchester City are still not satisfied with the score now and they know that for 3 points they have to stay in control of the game and continue to attack considering their defensive style is still not very good.

Tomorrow Liverpool should be able to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City with 3 points more with the difference in strength they have. But Iraola's big task is still the same, he has to prepare the midfield well because in the first match even though Liverpool's midfield is not too bad but Szoboszlai is like working alone here.

[Merit.s]

The game is currently 1-4. Manchester City wouldn't stop scoring until, the final whistle is blown. I don't know why Palace looks so weak in this game and they're just running from pillar to post without being creative.

Another victory for Manchester City and an additional three points to their point. I didn't expect this game to be very easy for them. I thought, it's gon be a difficult one for them.

I just hope Liverpool are able to win Nottingham Forest tomorrow. Liverpool played so miserably in their last match. They looked like a team that has lost their identity and are lacking direction. Thanks for a late minute penalty that got them the draw. I hope tomorrow they won’t need a penalty to get another draw. Isak really need to come out of his shell and do what he was bought for. He has to wake up and take responsibility, Haaland has opened his scoring and I’m expecting Isak and Wirtz to contribute more to Liverpool. Maresca has escaped yet another trap tonight. All eyes on Andoni Iraola, let’s see how he handles his game tomorrow.

Man city is showing seriousness their last match before this second leg I nearly lost hope after seen the time frame while they where conceiving one goal but equalizing as well wining the game gave me courage to keep believing them in any match I have it in mind that they will win this very game, the team is capable they have learn a lot from their coach which when put into work will always produce result the bring smile., if Liverpool win their match it's a sign that big team area mentally out in this season, Chelsea have already recorded two despite their wining or victory today is not on premier league is still show high level of readiness to meeting any team.

Crystal palace cannot be compared with Maresca's Manchester City. The difference is clear. City continues with their impressive performance. Cherki was outstanding in today's match, he was determining the flow of the match until he left, the MVP award is very appropriate. Foden and Semenyo impressed as well. The match was very enjoyable, Manchester City was totally in control. Maresca couldn't contain his joy at the end of the match, he was beaming with smiles. Their unbeaten record have started beautifully, although they're yet to record a clean sheet. They won the game comfortably with braces from Cherki and Haaland. The match ended 1:4

They shouldn't be compared, in my opinion, as what transpired was exactly what we all anticipated—Palace could not have defeated Manchester City. Just take a look at how many goals Manchester City scored; their strength was just different, and I knew they would win. I made the observation that Haaland's hair barbed him, which is why he didn't score in their previous game, but he did score two goals in this one. How funny is that?

We'll see what happens next because this season is going to be more difficult than we anticipated, and I noticed how the players were pleased that they were winning and doing so well. And Haaland has its own way of conveying the message that he is prepared for this season, which may be due to the fact that they are playing against Palace. and from there next game we are going to know.

After they had a little trouble in the first match in this match Manchester City appeared dominant, the score was quite striking and Enzo could still be said to be quite good even though he still could not do the cleansheet for Manchester City.

Tomorrow's game for Liverpool I'm pretty sure with 3 points as long as they can make some improvements especially from the central sector and the defensive line. Although I still can't move on from Salah but some of the attacking players at the moment are still very good and can still score enough goals but the transition from attacking to defending Liverpool is still a little weak.

2 goals Newcastle last week occurred as a result of the transition of the players a little slow so they are difficult in anticipation of a quick counterattack. If Liverpool can reduce this gap in midfield and defense then most likely 3 points they can still get.

Another victory for Manchester City and an additional three points to their point. I didn't expect this game to be very easy for them. I thought, it's gon be a difficult one for them.

As soon as Crystal Palace scored in the second half, i was thinking that they want to equalise the score, but it turned out that they became even more porous and Manchester City did utilised the scoring chances. We shouldn't doubt the ability of Maresca in leading Manchester City because last week they recovered a defeat that almost happened, it shows resilience in the team and today, they won Crystal Palace by 1:4, it shows that they are willing to take all challenges and use it to make themselves become more formidable.

Manchester City is now leading the league table, pending the match results of other Premier League teams that already has 3 points in the first match. Arsenal will also need to win their match in order to continue the title race with Manchester City who has been their closest rival.

Another win for City after defeating Palace in this match. They won 4-1, temporarily placing them in first place in the standings. City's performance was excellent in this match, they dominated so thoroughly that they didn't allow Palace to score a single goal --- if it weren't for Donnarumma's own goal, they would have secured a clean sheet in this game. A pretty good result considering how they struggled to break down Bournemouth's defense in the previous match. It seemed Palace weren't a match for City from the start.

When I saw the phrase “another win for City” I was almost asking myself if they’ve had any win this season before it did hit me on how they narrowly escaped defeat in their first game against Bournemouth. Scoring at the end of regular time to claim 3 points at home.


Today’s fixture was a lot different though, they came with the Manchester City pressure we’ve known them to have scored in the first half and several goals afterwards. The only goal they gave out was as a result of an own goal by Donnarumma. Let’s see more of this kind of performances from them.

[Iamgoat]

You picked a direct win for Manchester city in this game is equally a big risk too, that’s gambling for you and since you’re not sure of your prediction then it’s a risk. I know that Manchester city looks like the favorites to win the game on paper but like I always say that football is being played on the pitch and not on papers. Gambling is all about taking risk so you cannot rule out anything being possible in gambling. There’s every possibility that the game will end under 2.5, but we can never be too sure.

I guess he picked a direct win based on his believe. His instincts tells him it won’t be otherwise meaning there’s no way Crystal Palace would have beaten Manchester City and Maresca is also not a novice, he knows how best to handle the team. I was writing this reply earlier before the match began this evening but got interrupted, but now what he was saying and the point I also wanted to make has been vindicated with the 4 goals to 1 win against the Crystal Palace team. Haaland has resumed his goal streak this time around I hope seeing how solid he scored the two goals which contributed to the 4 goals statement made by the Manchester City club tonight.

Crystal Palace performance surprised many people today, although what did we expect from a weak team playing against Manchester City, even the big clubs already do extra job before they can be able to take a victory when playing with Manchester city, they bery brutal especially when they catch a eeak team they will heat them.

As for Crystal Palace, I actually think there is to strengthen their performance or changes their squad because they are not really working towards success with this performace they are going no where, so  I think they need to do better

Not looking good for Crystal Palace because they have gone two games without a win or draw and although it is just the start of the season but not starting good can affect the way you end the season as every points are very important to stay in the league and not getting relegated. Manchester city are two games with both being a win and now top of  the table which is good to boost their confidence as they are starting with a new manager and hoping to get back to winning as they use to do before.

The seasons is looking good right now and the goals are coming so the games are not looking boring. Manchester city scored 4 and Haaland got two which is good as he needs to keep scoring to give the team more boost so as to keep them winning games and prove ithey can do it without Pep.

Even with the performance of Crystal Palace against Everton in the first match of the season you will know that they wouldn't stand any chance against Manchester City. I think we are underrating Manchester City so much just because Pep Guardiola is no longer the coach but the team is still very much in a good form under Maresca.

The head to head of Manchester City versus Crystal Palace is even clear enough to make us believe that City will dominate them in this match and of course, they did. I think Crystal Palace had same awful performance in the beginning of last season, they have started again this season and don't be surprised that they might experience losing streak up to 4 or 5 games.

I really didn't think much of Crystal Palace especially in this game, this is because they were seriously underdogs and i was not expecting any miracle, as a matter of fact, I give them credit a little for even having to score a goal. However I really would want to see how the City team would look like during the middle of the season, at this point in time, there are still some Guardiola's touches still on the team, I would want to see same momentum, this is so that I can compare how easy it was for Guardiola to maintain such structure and to see if Enzo can continue that legacy.

Crystal Palace was not competitive enough against Manchester City and that's more reason they were dismantled. We all know how challenging this game was for Manchester City because all the pressure was on the team to win because that's going to give a start for Enzo Maresca and the Citizens delivered a master class. Manchester City are very much ready to compete for the league title this season and it's just about time they start to make things happen and become very consistent with brilliant performance.

The result Manchester City got today is what is expected from a team as promising and consistent as Manchester City that are fighting to get themselves positioned at the top especially now that the competitive nature of the league have not been significantly experienced.
All blame goes directly to Crystal Palace that entered the game with fear, believing Manchester City will win which was why the citizens where able to capitalize on there weakness to dominate them without leaving room for retaliation in the game.
