Match Thread | Fulham vs Man City (30/04/23)

[Metal Biker]

Not our best half. A couple of "yeah, we've won this" attitudes after the penalty.

Could be that th Fulham goal was a well needed wake up call. You haven't won it yet lads, finish the job, then celebrate. Doesn't turn out as well the other way around.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Average performances from far too many out there. The backline have been really sloppy.

Mahrez and Grealish have been well off it. Mahrez far too negative in possession and while Grealish has been more progressive, he has been really wasteful.

Feel we are lacking in midfield. Rodri hasn’t had the control he normally does and Gundo is really quiet.

Alavarez is the big positive. Works his balls off and matches it with real quality on the ball.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Dias is a great player, but when he has a brain fart he really has a brain fart

That whole mix up at the back was down to Eddie being an adrenaline junkie. Pick the safest option and pass the ball to that person.

 

[heslops barnet]

Why didn’t Eddy go long when Fulham high pressed us like against the Tarquins?

 

[Norbert D]

He may just give them PG tips

Walker and Stones will insist on Yorkshire Tea…

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

Grealish looks a bit off it... played a lot recently, needs a rest?

Get Foden on down that left hand side.

Same goes for Gundo, very quiet. Bring Silva on in the middle?

 

[christened at st marks]

No. He did a proper pass to Haaland which he miscontrolled inside the box, Grealish got 3 chances and never found Haaland.

I'm talking about tracking back Robinson is dangerous

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Strange half. They had one chance and scored.

We needed an absolute worldie from our World Cup winner and a penalty to go in with our noses in front.

Feels to me like we are missing the reassurance that comes from having the world's best player on the pitch.

The striking Viking will bag one though, would just like to see a better all-round performance as it does feel like we're on a bit of a rebound from the Arsenal game.

CTID.

 

[Constantine]

FFs is killing us

Mahrez has been good. Assists to both the pen and the goal. Good at defense as well.
Now, fuck off ffs

 

[WickyWain]

Good stuff blues! Nice early goal in the 2nd half would be lovely but we're in control here

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

That’s often worse on the nerves.

2-1 down and you’re hungry to get a goal, 1-2 up and you’re nervous about losing a goal.

I get what you're saying but I'm pretty chilled we're 2-1 in front mate.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

What a goal Julian!!!

 

[TinFoilHat]

He may just give them PG tips

You hum it and I'll play it.

 

[I'm Blue]

We've got levels we can go up.
We need to early in the second half and put this game to bed.
They were growing in confidence up until the Alvarez goal.
Knock that sloppy shit on the head too

 

[Dax777]

Love Akanji, but this is a game that needs Eric's passing skills from the left Centerback position.

 

[Cricket Blue]

Sloppy in parts but overall good display
Leno having a stormer again against us.

 

[bluesince76]

Think if we need Akanji at left back, who's playing well again, we have to play Laporte at left CH, otherwise they're all right footed and too easy to stop us playing out. Just no options to play the ball to someone who can naturally let it run across them and go to the outside

 

[Haaland94]

This will end 1-4, no doubt. We are much better.

 

[wolviedinho]

And? I'm not worried in the slightest because i believe in this team.

Not about belief. We can score plenty but if we don’t settle down at the back Fulham will get chances.

Foden for Mahrez abeg
