City V Fulham In Match Discussion Thread

[IlDivinCodino]

Good game so far, Nasri has been excellent, carried the ball forward well but has put himself about defensively and made one great slide tackle. Good to see. Kolarov and Savic have been solid and on the ball both have looked good. Savic has helped by carrying the ball out from the back and playing it cleanly into feet for Dzeko and Aguero, both of whom are looking sharp. Silva playing well and Johnson, Richards and Lescott have all been solid.

Johnson dived for the first penalty but given recent decisions and the Silva penalty claim I couldn't care less. It certainly looked like a penalty at the first viewing but I think the replays show Johnson went down too easily.

Really pleased with this one so far, good response to last week.

I've tried to be patient with him but Dzeko. Is truly awful.
He can't pass, can't shoot, blocks other people shots, spends too much time on the wing so he's nt there to recieve a cross, can't head, his positioning is poor, gets knocked off the ball and has a horrible first touch.

I'm sorry, I like the guy but snooker is surely more his game because he sure can't play football.

Looking forward to Balos return.

Hahahahaha - brilliant!

Did you watch the game, or you just did copy - paste from some other clueless idiot on here (we will not play the name game)?

haters gonna hate

good lord did you even watch the half?

I think somebody is just trying to test out Rics new rules and see if he can get somebody banned.

Why is Nasri scared to take a chance?

He's connects everything so well, gets in great areas and then instead of having a go he looks for a team mate.

If he could fix that he'd amazing..

Disagree. He's had a solid game so far.

Usually Dzeko wins nothing from goal kicks, but I think he's won everything in the air so far today.
He's played some great balls to Johno.
His touches have been much better.
Overall, he looks more composed, and a composed Dzeko infinitely better.

Knocked off the ball, what game have you been watching? Dzeko has utilised his strength VERY effectively today.

Our system is fluid, so no surprise Dzeko might be wide a few times. Remember when he was wide, his pass in the box almost led to another goal...

Jumanji - WHAT am I reading here?? :-)

You are not becoming a believer, are you?

Just kidding, mate :-)

Johnson to get banned after thousands of replays? Whats the odds?

 

[TCIB]

AJ defo duped the ref there tbh.
Very hard for the ref to have seen it in real time though.

 

[BusterPhillips]

No mention of stonewall pen at halftime, basically calling Johnson a diver as well...

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

Its not a dive by AJ. He would be in the matrix if he could work himself that quick. Maybe not a pen but in real time it looks like a nailed on pen

I LOVE how Dzeko and Aguero are cooperating...They look for one another...and that always means good things.
