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

[Tangled up in blue.]

Fulham aren't done yet

 

[Josh_D]

More control already. Kova deeper is already helping

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Was he trying to flick it ?

If he was, there's no question he's offside. But to me he looked to be trying to get out of the way.

Midfield not making themselves available as an option Pep needs kick arse big time

Jack injured or sick?

Read injured. Hopefully pulls out on internationals

 

[01cravend]

Back to the system we've been playing this season.. Walker providing width allowing RWer to play narrow.. Will be so much better

Jack injured or sick?

injured

Jack injured or sick?

“Slight thigh injury”

Don't let anyone tell you we got away with one here. It is a good goal under the Laws of the Game. Fulham haven't been hard done to.

I agree, however personally I wouldn’t have given this one or the one against us last week.
But if that’s the way they rule them nowadays, at least be consistent…

Just surprised we got a decision at all.

Probably due to him not being there and not being able to adjust it as the assistant just sits there motionless

Calf injury the comms said

Shit passing is almost always down to shit movement off the ball.

Assistant hasn’t stepped up………

 

[01cravend]

Nothing wrong with the challenge but ref would have pulled Rodri up for that from Robinson on Phil

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

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!

I thought he was specifically trying not to touch it personally. But yes we’ll take it — sure we’ll be on the other end of one at some point.

I think Fulham actually look a decent side. But I also watched Everton/Sheff U which was like watching a 101 minute car crash, so . . .

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Walker is playing well.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

New rule in the Premier League: all defenders are free to use wrestling moves on Haaland, but he's not allowed to do likewise on them.

Calf injury the comms said

I thought his calves were invincible.

Remember though last week against Sheffield Walker was down on his face off the pitch so he playing everyone on.
