Honestly I get sick of comments like this. Piss poor! FFS, City had 20 shots (more than anyone is averaging this season - and we have the most shots per game at the moment), almost 60% possession, 91% pass completion. That is not poor.

We got caught on transition by a beast of a rugby league player and had some difficult moments against a good team who are in form but still couldn’t beat us and lost for the 17th time in a row against us, which is a record in English football.

There was in fact more good than bad from City.
 
We look so shaky in defence, Fulham could've scored five today quite easily. Is it all down to us missing Rodri or more than that. Another good victory but we're riding our luck big time
 
We won, that's all that matters!

We both had chances, but we were in control of that game in the second half and deserved to win. We scored a couple of great goals too, a great finish by Kovacic for his second and Doku's was superb, that ball was moving.

But we need to tighten up our play in midfield and in defence.
Some of our passing was sloppy, we gave up a lot of possession and looked so open at times, it was a good job Eddie came up with a couple of big saves.
But both of their goals were preventable.

I'm well happy for the win though.

Fulham look a good team and played well and if they keep playing like that, they'll take points off a lot of teams.

We certainly weren’t in control of the game in the second half.
 
Fulham are just an average mid table PL team, nothing more nothing less. Its worrying we had such a big problem with them. Fulham are either top 6 material or we made them look good. Which one is it ?.

It's a question of playing the full squad now, rather than leaving people out as such. I think Pep's got that over to (most of) them now.
We're back into the two games a week caper. Or we were, until this stupid second international stop to proceedings, and we'll be back into it very rapidly. Akanji cannot play two games a week indefinitely, neither can Gvardiol. They're going to burn out.

And Akanji and Joško are likely going to play every international match (as with most of the defenders!) so they’re not going to get any rest then.

Stood on the penalty spot with all the time in the world to trap it, pick his nose,have a sarnie, swivel and despatch the ball into Eddies onion bag, somebody not doing their job
 
Akanji at their first goal

The result was great. The performance not so much. I would struggle to write a list of all that was good though. Eddie, Josko, Doku’s cameo….

Still trying to figure out what he did on Traore's first breakaway. He had position and the ball at his feet. Seemed like all he had to do was pass back to Ederson. He really effed that up. He gets too easily knocked off the ball and that's my biggest critique of him.

a weird shapeshifter like the Leeds goalie last night

That was the best game Fulham have played this season. And Howe said publicly last week that Newcastle's game against us was the best they've played this season. That's what happens when you're the champions. It's a kind of compliment.
But we're still there, nicely tucked in. And I'll tell you what — we may not be quite firing, but both Arsenal and Liverpool have got cracks that are papered over to some extent. Interesting season. Any one of three could win it. No-one else has got a cat in hell's chance, in my opinion.

Chelsea could be dark horses if they tighten up at the back. They have a huge fairly young squad and a lot of quality. Villa possibly though the efforts of Europe could hinder them.
