Yeah, I noticed that. Neither of them was anywhere near ther best though. We were slow and ponderous on the break and were certainly missing Kevs quick passing. Gundo steadied the ship when he came on. I really think he should be given a run in Ferns position.

I didn't really understand that first half at all,i rather think mendy is upsetting things a bit,an assist machine no doubt but no help defensively,i think we always notice when dinho is not on it because things in the middle don't run smoothly,still got the points and hopefully they will be sharper after the break
 
Still think we should've bought a DM, Dinho is the ONLY person in the squad who can play his role and he's 33 and looks to be struggling a little already

Think we also miss KDB a lot not just because of what he does on the front foot but out of him David & Gundo he is the most ahtletic and most likely to put a challenge in which I think helps out Dinho a lot who is trying to cover too much space

We need to get back to 433 ;to help Dinho out a bit
 
Love Ferna, but, idk if it's just me, he looks off from his usual self. Could be a combination of any number of things. Father time, new formation at times, etc.. or it could also just be that I'm dumb lol.
 
Pep talking shite again:

"It’s so important, because his personality and mentality defensively with the set pieces and the long ball means he is a key, key player."

If Pep came on here, he would realise that Pep doesn't care about any of that, & just wants a bloke who passes the ball around, in that position.

It's about time Pep stopped listening to Pep & started taking notice of people one here who have read a book about Pep, then he'd understand what Pep really wants.
 
Ive only seen the highlights of the Fulham game,but would it be fair to say he looked much more effective and like his old self?

Very much so. He played much better than his average expectation. His assist was phenomenal and he almost scored a banger outside the box that was struck perfectly. Key interceptions, good positioning and a few nice tackles as well.

The guy is a legend in my book.
 
It doesn’t work this way at all in reality but I’m paranoid as fuck that an injury is around the corner. He’s like otamendi and is indestructible. It’s pretty damn incredible that he hasn’t been injured in his entire city career.

He is a wonderful player and he was very effective yesterday. Fulham though did not press at all and gave our midfielders so much space. Much as I love Fern, that was not a game to just anybody's return to form upon.

Thought he was superb yesterday. He always seemed to be positioned for the loose ball
His interception movement and cross for the first goal was class.
He made some great passes and switches finding space, one pass out of defense into space for Sterling to run the pitch was a thing of beauty and nearly resulted in a goal.
 
Nice to see the talking heads on MOTD, giving him some special credit yesterday.

It's true that Fulham gave him too much time on the ball, but the skill he showed when given that time, just proves he can do pretty much anything any of the so called 'more talented football players' who City keep being linked with, can do.
 
I was worried he was looking his age but maybe his age just showed he may have needed a longer rest after the World Cup.

He was back to his best yesterday.
