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

[cjn]

Gabby and Bernardo have been really good so far. Mendy and Torres a little rusty, but nowhere the calamities you think reading this thread, Torres has been making nice runs at least. Aguero invisible. Everyone else some shade of fine, we'll win it in the second half.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Might be a bit harsh, but I just cannot see any kind of player in Torres. Really don’t see him lasting long at city.

I fear the same, but needs another season to be toughened up and accept he won't get the time and space got in Spain.

Roll on 60min subs

I used to work with her. Great girl too. Loves her footy

You know the rules.. or it didn't happen.

 

[jollylescott]

We look like a group of players that hasn’t played together very often.

 

[oddfellows]

Lol fucking dream on mate. He couldn't score in a brothel

Or on a dartboard

 

[chesterbells]

Pep has given Sergio as much freedom as he can with this system. No pressing, no sprints in behind. Just stay in the hole.

But in order to accomodate him, we've lost all control. We need the third man in midfield.

Jesus could have had two tap ins if Torres and Sergio weren't so selfish.

Could really use Sterling's pace off the bench here against their high line...

Lol

 

[paulsimpson]

All the moaners have watched the first half of the last half a dozen games right? It's not been brilliant but it's arguably the best first half we've had for a while.

In terms of stability yes. Let's hope we can build on it and go on and win this game

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Ha ha, this thread is laughable, wobble heads collectively.

Full of spoilt little brats mate

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Has that corrupt twat Mariner given us any decisions yet... Fulham seem to be able to foul at will

Willing to let the game flow for the first 5 minutes, then found his whistle for the first 50-50 challenge.

Lol fucking dream on mate. He couldn't score in a brothel

No chance he makes 90 minutes anyway, he's already bollocksed.

It is harsh IMO. There’s a player in there. Young lad, new country, finding his feet. He’ll come good.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Torres not doing himself any favours , we need to control midfield and the tempo of the game .

 

[Bigga]

Dross. Possession for the sake of it. Two strikers on the pitch and zero penetration.

Big worry down our left with Mendy not knowing which runner to go with.

Needs another ball player on the pitch, with Torres off.

Just shows the lack of help and blame Mendy's getting, especially after being out of the side so long.

 

[SidJames]

Since Pep started fucking about "again" we have looked half the side we are capable of being.

It is not a coincidence.

Sure we are winning, but we are looking less than convincing at the moment.

If we are not careful we could lose this.

You know the rules.. or it didn't happen.

All I will say is she was the traffic / news girl on Galaxy 102 radio many years ago

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Fuck this bollocks. We never win games in the second half. It's over. The league's gone.

 

[aguero93:20]

Aren’t you the arsonist also?

Retired.

 

[Summerbuzz]

No panic. Literally none. 17 points from 8 and a half games wins the league. CL is back next week, quarters follow soon after. No reason to play people who would benefit from rest. Keeps the risk of injuries right down.

 

[eversince 76]

Hahah. Great to see the positive atmosphere on here. Ok we aren’t at our best. And playing with a different system and 3 players that hardly touched a ball the last 3-4 months, sort of explains a lot. But there’s no need to be this down. Or critical. Or frustrated.
