Fulham v City Post Match Discussion Thread

[LongsightM13]

Just been booted out of my pre-booked first class seat on the 7.15 back from Euston because the City team and delegation have commandeered two whole carriages. Every man for himself in the remaining posh seats!

Haha, that's pretty much what some of the moaning old twats in here are saying. 'Tut tut', 'Disgraceful', 'Can't they afford a coach?', 'I shall be emailing Richard Branson in the morning to complain' etc etc.
It's almost as bad as the matchday thread on here.

Should have subbed Nasri instead of Silva.

My thoughts exactly

 

[Tevez City]

I've had to delay posting my views about today's result until now to get a bit of perspective.

Initially I was angry. Not with the draw, and not because we didn't win (that would be arrogant and I'm no rag) but I am disapointed that we conceded what could of been a comfortable win. I've no doubt Mancini and the lads will take stock of this situation and learn from which I hope will culminate to a solid victory over Everton next week.

The other positive I'm going to take from today is that bacon face and his motley crew are now under pressure to keep their 100% record going.

But who will break their record !

They beat us, Arsenal, Spurs & Chelsea this season.

Anyone who thinks there's a team on the planet that plays well every game in everu seasppm should tune into the Real Madrid game just now. Even world class players can be shite and uninspired at times.

 

[mancityscot]

take off our most attacking asset in silva and put on zabba who doesnt go forward. baffling. nasri was woeful today as was yaya. either should have come off

 

[carlosthejackal]

First time that utd have won the first 5 games of the season under ferguson, lets get it into perspective, we have had a fantastic start.

I'm so down about this result, so angry it's unbearable. Firstly, after going 2-0 up we shouldn't have given them a sniff at goal because we didn't need to, if we would have kept calm and cool in possession then none of their chances would have came about. The substitutions were just unbelievable, i mean, if utd need a goal, would they take shrek and young off? yet we take silva, nasri AND aguero off, and replace them with Johnson who proves week after week that he is just constantly moving backwards, and Tevez who makes it so obvious he just doesn't want to be there. I know Mancini's trying to teach Balotelli a lesson, but why would he bring Johnson on instead of him? there is no reason.

Anyway, in Mancini i trust, just a very bad day.

Are we a bit narrow and predictable?

Saved posting this straight after the match because I wanted to think about it and didn't want it to come across as knee jerk.

In the games against Wigan, Napoli and Fulham our play has been extremely narrow. Focused through the middle, everything going through the three world class creative midfielders/deep lying forwards that we have. We done brilliant with it against Spurs and at times against Wigan. Christ, even today our first goal is a perfect example of how such play has paid off.

BUT, in the last three games there's been major signs that the opposition can soak a lot of this up. Apart from a few crosses, Richards and Clichy/Kolarov and Zab haven't done much in terms of hitting the byline. Richards setting up Kuns first against Swansea, and Kuns disallowed goal (wrongly imo) against Bolton seemed to be paying off.

With no Johnson on the field we need to get the full backs forward as much as possible, give the opposition something to think about.

Our centre minded players are absolutely brilliant and a joy to watch, but another option is a must. If that means playing only 2 of the three, with throwing de jong back in when fit, allowing Micah and Zab more opportunities to get forward, so be it.
