Match Thread | Fulham vs Man City (13/03/21)

[remember arthur mann]

Cancelo is playing Walker back into the starting 11 at this point.

Don't understand some comments we are doing OK against a team with a decent defence. Not many teams going to lie down and let us stroll the goals in. Let's see if Fulham can keep this up for 90mins.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Cancelo back to his bad old ways. Poor half from him.

Did 2 identical things to the United match.
Threw a ball in across the pitch to Bernardo which he lost and near the end went on a run to intercept a ball from the keeper and it flew over his head.
Both ended in attacks from Fulham where they were outnumbering us.

 

[CityPar]

What alot of rubbish. Certainly not playing like champions elect. Fulham know if they keep us wide they're safe. Our crossing is garbage and decent link up play around the box is almost non-existent. We need to pull our socks up. C'mon City....wake up.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Anyway, as you're all complaining about the game........ I'm doing the ceiling in the cellar which is plaster boarded. Can't be arsed plastering it, it's the cellar so don't see the point. Any ideas on a decent paint that will cover blemishes?

Well Magnolia is so 1980's...go for Dutch Ivory

Some of you need to realise that:

1) Fulham aren't an easy team to break down

2) We've had first halves like this even with that starting XI you think is perfect.


Barring a few crosses Fulham haven't troubled us. We look far more likely to score than they do.

Some of you need to realise that everyone reacts to games differently. Nothing posted has been unreasonable

I know we’ve not looked at the races, especially with this new system. However watching yet another “questionable” performance from another shit ref. It stinks of operation “make it interesting” to me.

 

[ctwrd]

It’s not flapping to call out the fact that the selection led to utter dross

 

[Cobwebcat]

This is Blue Moon, are you new?

Not new no. However I really am to it being this bad in comparison to our results. WTF is happening to our fan base on BM? Do we really think so little of this record breaking team that we must have 5-0 every game?

There is another team out there trying to stop us.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Think Pep has over thought himself again

 

[sh249]

As disjointed as it was always likely to be.
Utterly bizarre team selection and setup.

 

[oldhamblue]

Is it a retro thing to bring on subs at HT? Pep and Pellers seemed to refuse subs until at least 70 minutes

 

[Kippax77]

Can't fathom this line up at all.
It looks like a team you put out AFTER winning the league

 

[Double R]

Whats with all that 'Booing' shit. Everytime we tackle, we get a 'Boo'.

 

[jamesha]

He's alongside Gabby, Bernardo, and Torres. It's not like he's playing with the EDS team here.

We have almost no control of the match which is bizarre for a Pep team. Also Torres is way out of form - understandable given him suffering from Covid recently but tbh I would rather have an in-form EDS player such as Palmer, McAtee or Delap on the pitch at the moment.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

That was a painful watch.

Playing 2 or 3 players that are clearly unfit is a risky strategy.

Mendy at WB should be right up his street, but becomes absolutely pointless if he isn’t willing to attack their full back. Then at the other end of the pitch, they are finding it a piece of piss to get in behind him.

Jesus and Torres working hard but the quality is seriously lacking. Nothing coming from the middle of the park.

Unless Cancelo produces something, it’s hard to see where a goal is going to come from.

 

[stan bowles]

I’ve not seen one post from anyone flapping

Virtually every post is negative. It's frankly ridiculous.

 

[Matt the Giant]

Obviously we are not at our best, but all credit to Fulham who are playing very very well. I don't think they will be able to keep it up for much longer though.

 

[mat]

As Mendy is todays matchday thread scapegoat. I bet he scores a last minute thunderbastard to win it.

 

[Akpowell]

Does pep want to win this game or what
