Pellegrini warns players ahead of Palace

Man City V Crystal Palace – view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live. It’s a question of teams like ourselves asking whether we’re the right fit.

Wednesday’s 0-0 draw at home to mid-table Everton has not proved as costly as it might have done, with leaders Arsenal also dropping points in a 3-3 draw at Liverpool on the same night.

“We were in a very good moment at the start of the season, scoring a lot of goals”. It will not be easy for those clubs [Atletico Madrid as well], especially as they are always clubs that want to buy top players. “We try to make the movement to create space”.

The striker has scored five goals, despite limited playing time, and the calls for him to be more involved are growing ever louder.

Fernandinho, Eliaquim Mangala and Wilfried Bony all remain out of contention for Saturday’s game against Crystal Palace, along with long-term casualties Vincent Kompany and Samir Nasri.

“In the three seasons I am in charge here, we continue being the most scoring team in the Premier League in three seasons – the last two and this one”.

Pardew was speaking as his team intensify preparations to face Adebayor’s former club, Manchester City, at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon. We’ll see tomorrow the starting XI. “You can’t dismiss anyone”. There are so many examples of teams that had the title in their hands in April, then lost important points and didn’t win the title.

“Every game is different, we had a very hard game against Palace in London, winning in the very last minute”, said Pellegrini. (Adebayor’s) in that group.

The move comes on the back of being priced out of a transfer for Chelsea striker Loic Remy, and one Eagles supporter who is over by the jukebox thinks Adebayor, although past his best could do a job for Eagles given their current striker situation!

“Although we are in a little negative period in terms of our (recent) results, our results overall are still strong”.
