You do know why they’re called The Cottagers?

You are Bert Tilsley and I claim my £10 reward!!!

It's probably easier to name a player who adapted in his first season.

Aguero adapted in his very first game, within about ten minutes of coming on. And never looked back.
One in a million.

anyone know if we kept the receipt for grealish?

Thought he was good today

 

[I'm Blue]

Have you only just realised this? ;-) :-)

Nope he was when he played for us and still is.
Just worth reminding everyone : )

Thought he was good today

Me too.
Thought first half he got singled out for some criticism, when most of the team wasn't at their best.
Second half he was much more direct and more of a threat.

a couple of things from today

first half was not good and we was all over the place at the back and sloppy. also the press was not happening and we was just happy to sit in and let them have it and let them come out far to easy.

second half was so much better and we worked hard to get the ball back and our shape and the press was better
give credit to fulham they worked hard and played well in the first half and carvalho looked very good.

but the result shows how far manchester city are from the many of the others in the premier league
rotation and 5 or 6 first team starters on the bench and we can get results. fulham are a very good team and will win the championship. if the others don't take the better players off them will hold their own next season in the premier league.

I was just thinking about the first half.

Possession and passing stats were very even, but apart from their goal, they never seriously attacked us again.

It‘s another example of us not dominating, but in no danger of conceding.

Second half we started well, finished the game and could have had a few more.

Their next shot on target after their goal was just after the hour mark, 4-1 down.

Interesting 10 minutes and the rest was all cones vs city

But even he had to adapt to Pep’s ideas, and was second choice to Jesus for a while. Even the greatest goal scorer we’ve ever had went through an adaptation period, so it’s no surprise practically everyone else does too.

Yeah. Pep’s got it because - unlike some - he knows a great player when he sees one

missed the match. that bad, huh?

not at all. He had a good game. Ran at the opposition and caused them problems. Won the penalty
