How do you like my formation now ?

Hated it first half , second half was a blur post jab , did he change it a bit ?

Don’t think he changed the formation but it did take a while to take off . First few minutes some players were bit confused about their positioning but got worked out eventually.

Love the tits out Jackie references in these lol

Brilliant once again, thanks for giving us all a good laugh.

Mitrovic on his day can give any centre half in the league a tough time the centre back knows he's in a game if he sees Mitrovic starting. You would think he has to start him, Every time Fulham are under pressure they have no out ball to take the pressure off for a few minutes throughout games, Mitrovic would do that job with his eyes closed.

Loftus Cheek is absolutely shit.

Loftus-Cheat was doing exactly the same as Salah, Kane and Vardy, backing into defenders then throwing himself to the ground.

Bullshit it was total control and never in doubt. Get a grip you flapper

It was shit to watch, didn't say anything about not being in control.

These are just brilliant look forward to them after every game.

Great 2nd half. Iffy 1st half, we were far from being "in control" in that 1st 15 minutes. For the 3rd match in a row, we took 15 minutes to get into our stride.
Credit to the home side for putting us under pressure in terms of their pressing in midfield.
Very comfortable in the end and the guys at the back were excellent.

Before the game I fully expected a routine win, but in the first half I thought Fulham were excellent. If Lookman had a left foot, I do think they might have sneaked a goal. As others have said, it's refreshing to watch a team try to play football. I thought to myself, if I was a Fulham player I'd want to be showing Pep that I can play football instead of busparking and hacking our players down. They do seem to be finding maybe just enough form to pull out of the bottom 3 as well and it could be at the expense of the worst busparkers - except united - Newcastle.

Second half, we just clicked and after a great finish from Stones it was just a matter of how many really. It was good to see Aguero score. I was shocked to find out that he didn't score any goals whilst he was injured and unable to play. Even more incredibly, when the league was postponed because of corona, he didn't even score for us then either! It boils my piss listening to these clowns, I should watch the game on mute.

One thing I'm not a fan of is changing formations. We've been on a phenomenal run recently and I don't know why we needed/decided to play 3 at the back against Fulham. When players come into the team, like Mendy, they should be coming into a system that the other players know so that they can guide him through the game. Of course, I bow down to Pep's judgement, but I do feel uneasy when he does this and I'm hoping we're not saving 3 at the back against Real etc later in the season.

Overall, great job done and another step closer to the title!

Happy to get 3 points against a side who I think have shown some decent form of late. Another game ticked off, minutes into the legs of some rusty players, glad to see Aguero scoring in the league again and we had more or less complete control by the latter stages. But please...... don't use that formation again with those players. Onwards!
