And it was a bit too easy for City, certainly in that first half.
And they are world-class players, but every now and again, a little bit like what Norwich did, you've got to try and make them uncomfortable.
You've got to try and get their heads down, try and win the ball in their own half, and then you can spring, and then the crowd respond from that.
But it didn't really... I'm trying to think...
Milivojevic, Milivojevic, always struggling with that one, Kelly, made a tackle in the second half and all of a sudden the crowd erupted and then they started to get a bit of success from that.
And I think first half they were just too passive.
I agree.
But what I will say, Kelly, the first goal kick that Crystal Palace had, they tried to play out from the back.
And Milivojevic got it right this time.
He played a pass, they lost the ball, and they nearly countered and scored from Ripman City.
After that, they didn't play out from the back anymore.
So it was almost like, what was their tactic?
What were they trying to do?
And then when they were trying to knock it forward, unfortunately with IU, they haven't practiced.
perhaps got that physicality of what they have with Benteke, but they did try to change it, but they didn't have the success.
And that's what I agree with what you said.
It's a really nice point that Benteke might have been better for this game, but I fully understand because IU has been so good for Crystal Palace and it's hard to leave them out right now.
Only because I'm agreeing with you.
That's why you're right.
I mean, it was obviously a big moment.
