Match Thread | Man City vs Fulham (02/09/23)

I'd take Akanji or Walker off for Grealish and let Kovacic drop back deeper.

Going to be tough putting Grealish on ;)

I was going to say, we need to score two or three more to kill off the whinging. But we all know that wouldn't be that case. It would then be, "well; the Ake goal changed the course of the game, and it came at a crucial time".

Be prepared for a whingefest over the next few days.

According to the BBC our 2nd was 100% offside. All the fair and balanced comments say it is offside.....

The good old pundits at the BBC don't know the Laws of the Game.

“If thats down the other end its offside” - andy gray

All those diving headers have taken their toll.

Gray & Keys foaming at the mouth over on BeinSports

Perhaps it's not foam.

I honestly couldn’t give a flying fornication about the decision. They set the precedent with “that decision” at the swamp last season. Let the tears flow haha.

 

[paulchapo]

Wasn’t just Doku was it. It was all of them!

Erm I did say that, but he's particularly lost.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Similar to the Rashford offside. Akanji attempting to flick the ball means their keeper doesn’t know where to dive, same as Ederson at OT.

Ah well, take it and move on!

 

[homerdog]

To be honest, I think it's great that we're getting decisions that in the past only the red shirt cunts would get!

 

[bridgeno1]

Sometimes you get them sometimes you don't, just shows VAR is a lottery. On another day it gets disallowed and the same arguments stand.

Silva is a bag of whinge though.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I think I’d make a few changes to get Phil in the middle more. He’s not ideal there but I think put Walker high and wide again like recent matches, allowing Phil to be in the centre and also meaning Akanji is part of the back 3 and not a midfield imposter. Then get Bernardo on for Alvarez.

Who the hell is this guy

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Neil Lennon is a prick.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I'd like to see Doku comming off part way through the 2nd half. No need to destroy his confidence. But we're a little at 6s and 7s with our passing and Walker doesnt know where to run, sometimes anyway.

foden in the middle too.

And Stones injury to be fixed now, at half time, and replace Akanji.

 

[Zenmanc]

I honestly think this and the last game were seeing the impact of not having Pep on the sideline. No slag to the other coaches but the players are not nearly as responsive with Pep off the field.

 

[malg]

If that was a Fulham goal given the same circumstances this place would be in meltdown.

 

[MCFC1993]

If he doesn't want to make a change yet can we just stick Alvarez on the right and get Foden behind Haaland.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Who the hell is this guy

What are you watching, listening to?

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Half man half monkey Keyes is always ridiculously anti-City

The human rug.

That fuckin bloke singing is shite..Who is it?
