Match Thread | Fulham vs. Manchester City (02/12/25)

Changes made by Fulham at HT. Hopefully not a similar outcome as Saturday 1st 20 minutes of this half.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

I’d bring Bernado on to tighten up the midfield a bit

 

[Ian Latham]

Nice and tidy for 15 mins.
Keep the ball and don't give them any momentum.
They'll thrown more players forward so hopefully we can counter attack.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Cherki for Bernie 2nd half

Personally I’d do Stones and get us more solid in there.

 

[deano ou812]

lol, if they pull this level im getting out of here

But we might stick another 3 in

 

[Don Karleone]

Please, no lacklustre second half performances. Put this to bed.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Gvardiol and Nunes cost us that goal in added time just before the break... we gifted them that opportunity stupidly.

No they didn't. Not everything has to have an error attached to it. Gvardiol giving away the corner was unfortunate, Nunes did nothing wrong in running the ball out. If you really insist on finding fault, you can perhaps look at players who weren't in the front press out and look at how they set themselves but in reality it was simply a well taken goal.

They have gone for it with the subs, a nice early goal in the second half and it's game over

 

[CatMan]

Of course I am delighted with the overall 45 mins but you made an issue of me stating that we do braindead things. Then lo and behold, we concede from a braindead action from Gvardiol and then arguably another from Nunes.

We literally do everything we can to help the opposition, when they don’t deserve anything. Two goals against Leeds, another tonight. Completely avoidable situations but as I said, we do braindead things.

I don’t know how you can watch us, and think otherwise.

Completely agree, Gvardiol is a fecking liability. He simply takes too many chances and makes too many mistakes. He hasn't got a defence first mindset, and subsequently we concede possession too close to our own goal on too many occasions.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I’d bring Bernado on to tighten up the midfield a bit

It’s easy to forget he’s out there.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

a 4th will kill them off so let's go for it

 

[Eaststander1]

Who cares we conceeded. Were cruising. We,ll win 5 1

That defending for that Fulham goal has changed the mood of the match, and we're gonna have to really get a grip of this game now .... plus Fulham have brought a bunch of subs on.

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Oh great. Fulham proactive changes. Leeds v2

3 points then?

 

[malg]

Here's the big test for Foden. Let's see you run the game in the second half and control it.

Our big fault is not being able to react to opposition changes in the second half of games. This is where Foden will show his leadership potential.

 

[heslops barnet]

Personally I’d do Stones and get us more solid in there.

Unfortunately to slow against this pacey Fulham team

 

[jimharri]

Yet we have a keeper who constantly makes brilliant saves

He's not the problem.

Again, they’re not robots. You should become a pro footballer, earn millions and get your toes sucked by beautiful women.

Not all pro footballers get there toes sucked. Some prefer sucking their daughters toes instead.

 

[Ajm1985]

The only reason they scored that goal was because of a shit touch by Nunes.

He boots that up the pitch and we go in 3 nil at HT. Pretty much game over.

Now Fulham have something to bite in to for the second half.

Only reason it was a corner was because of Gvardiol - we compound mistakes.

 

[super_city_si]

3 points then?

But not without a change of underpants :)

 

[madloaf]

I wonder if matterface will mention our poor away form this half....oh....he's done it already.
