#1 Palace's midfielders failed to break City's supply-line
Manchester City always try to operate their game with the help of their midfielders. Today, the likes of De Bruyne, David Silva and Gundogan played with their very best. Kevin ended the match with 2 assists in his bag, while David Silva and Gundogan also convinced the fans with their hard-working performances.
Palace's midfielders totally failed to intercept between City's supply-line. The Cityzens were passing the ball easily from one end to another end. We could say that Palace midfield allowed the Cityzens to capture the heart of the pitch.
The Eagles could have done better with their defensive qualities. Midfield should make the interception to decrease those number of passes. If midfielders like Schulpp, McArthur and Milivojevic came between the line of the passing area to break the connectivity between City forwards and midfielders, the result could go in the other direction.
