Worm, welcome to all. We will be on the way very shortly once all the pleasantries are complete. And here we have Crystal Palace against Manchester City. Well, I'm Peter Drury and I'm joined in the Commentsy Box by the familiar figure of Jim Beggley. Thanks Peter. Hello everybody. I'm ready to see what unfolds in this one now. And he has been fouled there. Hopefully he has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket. It's just a stern lecture. Too much on it. Ruben Tias, Greenwich. Laport. Looking up to see who wants it. Toses it through. He's had to go! Here are attempts just the wrong outcome. Only struck that he must have thought it was going in. Such are the margins of success and failure in this game. That was so close. That's so close to a dream start and it could have made such a difference for what's the follow. I mean this looks as if it could be quite an exciting game. So good. I'm pleased to get it forward quickly. Martetta. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Are you Kelly? It's a heart. It's a promising run he's making on the right. Mathew Sakko. First quarter of an Algon. Crystal Palace. He had to have a shot on target. Paul Fluss, who's getting that? Laport demonstrating fabulous determination. He just will not be beaten. Stoats. Jalcán Sello. Thompson forwards. Slow blocked and back out it comes. Gun the one. He's hit back. Easy. Another silver. De Broy. Another silver. Foden. And it's prelish. Matt, whistle's gone. That's a foul. Oh, what a save. He had a long way to go. I want a Tesla for the goalkeeper because it was struck with real Venelain. I thought he dealt with it really well. MacArthur with a long toss. Cut out in the nick of time. Here it is now, surely. Jalcán Sello. Ribbon diace. Gun the one. Foden. It's going to be the final action of the first half. That's the first half compared with your expectation. Well, this has proved a very frustrating day so far, especially for the strikers. Nothing has been created for him. It's been extremely poor. It calls at this stage, but certainly not devoid of action. It is Mill Nill here at half time. The title game so far. Can that change now? Dan. Kelly. It's a heart. Just making a foray down the right. Check on the touch line. A change about to occur. Kelly. Looks like a good ball through. Zahar. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Are you? Gun the one. Hurts into the tackle. We'll complain about that challenge. Rebust, but fair. It's a long forward pass. It's a student defending to ensure they got no further. It seems now to be all about width. Well, when you have the personnel to create in white areas, then they need to see as much of the ball as possible. Now the pass. And it's Matt's header. Looks to slip it through. That's upside. Yes, it is. It looks like a training ground drill that almost worked a tree. Only for that black to go up. He just went a tad early. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there's going to be a change. Gun the one. Spoon forward. The broy. Just about up to 75 minutes. This was a report from an attacking perspective. Jim, it's a Katie old game. Well, I think it's a fair reflection of what we've seen so far. Neither side has produced that many efforts at goal simply because respective defenders have been strong. Manchester City, their final change. I think you have to admire his willingness to keep plugging away. But the manager has done him a big favor, I think, by taking him off. You know, he was looking very, very leaky. He just needed to be better than that and he knows it. Marders hits it back. Has gone out. The brim battles going it back. Mendy with a ball through. Ferdinand Digno. It's a heart. Into the last five minutes. Kelly, pulling down that right flank. Ferdinand. Ford, it goes. Matetta. Bentechate. Tries a through ball. Zahar. That's a throw. Bentechate. Bentechate. And that's that. And stalemates. One, if not for fans, then perhaps for coming.
