The outrage about our goal is unbelievable, where was this outrage about rashfords pen last week or the ref not sending trent off or are they just one of those things if u play in red

The crowd seemed to really appreciate him, maybe bluemoon-93.20 isn’t a true representation of our wider support

Yes that was good to see.

 

[big gaz]

At least he knows their names though.

I'm pissed thought he was on about Emerson Lake and Palmers hic

 

[homerdog]

The outrage... is unbelievable

The outrage is because we are better than them, with no end to our domination in sight, and it hurts like fuck.

Well done Pep (or Lilo) for instructing the players to be more patient with our build-up in the second half, we slowed things down and made the ball do the work, completely nullifying Fulham's plan for a basketball game.

Great tweak to drop Kova back deeper.
Haaland looked so much better and will get the plaudits but Dias was excellent.

Certainly playing Kova further forward did not work. Rodri had to rely on Akanji to be available in the centre of the pitch and time and time again, he went missing. Much hetter when Kova was moved back along side Rodri. Much more control.

According to keys and gray, worst decision in their lifetime. I wondered what I'd missed

A Viking festival at Etihad today and another this weekend in Largs Ayrshire

 

[Chi-town blues]

So how was Doku?

Started on left side but didn’t look comfortable and bit nery …much better on left side and as the game went particularly in 2nd half , he and alvarez had some good understanding switching positions rapidly which confused the heck of fulham defenders. Gave few balls away but looked dangerous at times , speed looked good and tracked backed few times .

If you think Fulham are a two bob team you don't know anything about football..

Arrogant twat.

 

[NorCalBlue]

Walker played him onside by lying on the ground off the pitch. So no outrage to be had.

If Twitter’s taught us anything, it’s that you don’t need to be right to be outraged!

Bit of a tough watch first half a lot of our passes were going astray and at times we looked a little disjointed. Aside from the goal we conceded we were never really threatened but we didn't cause too much trouble for them either. Surprised the second goal was allowed to stand but happy to accept it.
Better second half performance, once we went three up we controlled the game completely. Thought all our subs did well, nice bit of work by Gomez for Haaland's hatrick goal. Bobb looked good, certainly not out of place. Even the much maligned Phillips did well, he showed a few good touches.

The Viking is lucky Pep is away on sick leave. He would have pulled him off before he could have got a hat trick

Steady on there matey ;-)

 

[Ajm1985]

First half was pish: poor build up - due in part to the set up and the players in forward positions - and very sloppy play. Our second was definitely offside.

Second half we were much much better and clinical.

Nice game time for Doku who will get better, great cameo from Gomez & great to see minutes for Bobb and Philips.

If thats the worst decision in their lifetime they are awfully wrinkly for being less than 2 months old cos they must have missed that onana penalty not being given

 

[Double R]

WFH is the future. Well done Pep.

WFH? What that?

 

[wagonman]

Never in doubt...

WFH? What that?

Work from home

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Very very very fucking lucky to go in at half-time 2-1. Second half was like a training exercise.

Cameos from the bench very encouraging.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Absolutely painful to watch that first half. A fucking ice age could move the ball quicker. Atmosphere flatter than a witches tit.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Proper statement win that. Off the back of fulham getting a draw at the Emirates with 10 we smash them whilst playing poorly. Arsenal are feeble minded and that's going to get into their head big time. They can't afford to drop points at home to the rags tomorrow already.

So many sloppy performances today right across the pitch, I'm presuming and hoping it's just them getting up to full tilt slowly after a shorter pre-season and nothing to be concerned with. 3 points is what's important and we got it with ease in the end.

Yet to see it back but we definitely got some major help today from var. When ake scored I barely celebrated, me and 2 people next to me all turned to one another from right behind net and said that's clearly offside simultaneously. Akanji has jumped over the ball right infront of the keeper Its helped us massively but how is that not interfering? It's a truly dreadful decision thats completely changed the game and i don't blame fulham players for losing their shit after that. Bafflingly shite decision.
