Match Thread | Fulham vs Man City (13/03/21)

[cookster]

We've saved our worse form for the start and business end of the season.

Carry on like this an we'll probably stagger over the line for the PL but forget the rest.

No composure or control.

Not really working this. Not sure if it's the rusty players, the formation or both. Just doesn't look like the City of the last few months. We've had a few shots but nothing that you wouldn't expect the keeper to save.

I'd prefer to see us revert back to our usual system but not easy to see how that can be done with only 3 subs. Would like to see Gundogan on to give us a bit more control.

This formation should be something we can work effectively. We have the right players for it. Unfortunately, we are trying to play it with a significant number of unfit players, and it shows. Mendy looked fucked after 5 mins.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Can't fathom this line up at all.
It looks like a team you put out AFTER winning the league

We have.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Peps a fantastic manager but he has a flaw, he always seems to break up a winning team/formation , we’ve been a winning machine who he’s managed to make look ordinary in a few short weeks

Form vs Invincibility hmmmm

In all the years I’ve seen Andre Marriner ref one of our games, I genuinely can’t recall him giving a 50/50 foul in our favour.

50/50. We are lucky to get a 90/10.

Gabby having to do mendys job for him then.

Mendy looked knackered after 30 minutes.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Dross. Possession for the sake of it. Two strikers on the pitch and zero penetration.

Big worry down our left with Mendy not knowing which runner to go with.

Needs another ball player on the pitch, with Torres off.

 

[deano ou812]

We look solid enough at the back, as you'd expect with three centre halves, but lacking creativity in the final third. Jesus is playing well, but Aguero and Torres look off the pace. Could do with Foden and Mahrez in the second half.

Looked solid,don’t think so Ric they have got in behind a couple of times only for them to fuck up the final ball ..

 

[wolviedinho]

Interesting, I think if anything we're too heavy in attack and the lack of midfield is leaving them isolated up there. No service or creativity.

Laporte & Mendy are not in the game. We need a link to the forwards. Gundo would do the trick for a Cb. Zin would also add creativity and control if brought on. That’s why I suggested those 2.

 

[James Morgan]

A truly shocking performance and by fuck Jesus you should feel embarrassed going down like a sack of shit after that mere touch on the face. Fucking mard arse.
At the moment weren`t not under a great deal of pressure but I worry like fuck when Fulham get down our left hand side and Mendy sleep walking.
Bernie looks like the only player who wants to win this game and is trying to take the game by the scruff of the neck but others need to pull their finger out.
Knee jerk ?? Possibly but we can play better than this.I`d happily settle for a draw right now which wouldn`t be a disaster.

I was very surprised to see Mendy start.
