Fulham (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I walked to the ground and there were loads of them singing about Mendy. On the way back they were doing the same. Completely clueless. I don't think they are used to travelling away.

The Fulham OS was rather fulsome in its praise of the travelling fans. Presumably they didn't look too far into the behaviour of some of them.

anyone know if we kept the receipt for grealish?

We said similar about Rodri during his first season. Seems some players need a full season to 'get it', I think Jack's one of those.

Ffs give they guy a break, it isn't his fault he cost 100m, he's different to what we've got and we're only just over half the season in.
Let's reflect after the last game and see how he did.

I am not sure he was MoM. Tannoy gave it to him but I would have given it to KDB. His second goal was an o.g. but he was excellent. IMO he's very consistent now. He wasn't in his first season.

Didn’t give it to him because he scuffed a shot (with his right) and got the deflection, nor did I try to remember how he played years ago!

He was a constant threat, didn’t give the ball away, pretty much ended the game with his penalty, and was part of an excellent right side that ran riot.

Yeah, Pep is trying to deliver a different Grealish than the one that worked at Villa. Greasy Jack has been used to a particular pattern and method and it's gonna be different here. I thought he was a little unlucky yesterday. He made some decent openings, and was on the scoresheet before he was sliced in two for the pen. Funny, from his reaction sitting up, how he immediately thought the ref wasn't giving it!

But you also claimed he was inconsistent, and he isn't, or no more than any other player.

You can make a strong case right now that City are the best side in the history of English football and yet the site is full of fans who don't rate Mahrez, Sterling or Grealish.

Had one of his better games, looked dangerous attacking the box, and is starting to integrate into the movement considerably better then he was in the early days.

Looks like he is going to be a very good addition to the team/squad as we rebuild it over the next 3 seasons, and a few goals will get the monkey off his back!

Morning !

An enjoyable game and a nice one to take our kids grandson to his first City game, our 5th generation has started lol.

Thought it was a good workout in the first half to wake the players up from their holidays. Second half was more a training session.
Nice to see the kids getting a run out and didnt look out of place. Delap is huge do we need Haaland ? Lol.

Nice to see proper Manchester weather again.

Not sure KDB was at his best yesterday, but good value. His teenage tantrum in the 2nd half when he failed to put Mahrez clear had us in stitches!

Think he was annoyed with Mahrez. Mahrez should've got forward a lot quicker.

Quite a few oddballs on in that vicinity. One guy just a few rows above thought he was clever spending the whole game showing us his phone with a picture of Mendy . Strange geezer he had black jumper with a white shirt underneath.
Another numpty near where the above bloke is was a big fat piece with a flat cap who thought he was Billy big boll**ks.

Good job they didn’t properly kick off, be cranberry paninis and almond milk lattes flying everywhere
