Match Thread | Man City vs Fulham (02/09/23)

[Gabriel]

Odd half of staccato football. We’re fortunately ahead but I’m not sure any one of ours merited higher than a 6.

Watching it back, I can understand the Fulham protests, to be fair.

I suspect that the PGMOL will make a BIG show of apologising to Fulham for the VAR error after the match, just to make it clear we benefited from it.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

That was a hard watch. But hey!

 

[Impeccable One]

Their goalie delays his dive as he needs to see if Akanji touches the ball and re-directs it. He doesn’t touch it, but we gained an advantage from a guy in an offside position. Guess the guy on VAR is getting two weeks off.

If Rashford wasn't affecting play then neither was Akanji. Go f*** yourselves PGMOL!

True. Both offside imo

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Kovatic needs to get in the game. Foden wasted out wide.

 

[Don Karleone]

No way that becomes a goal without the Akanji intervention.

What intervention? Keeper saw it all the way and Akanji didn't touch it

 

[Stoned Rose]

Thought we were wishy washy as fuck that half and pretty lucky to be going in ahead.

Needs to be a lot better / sharper / more energetic 2nd half.

Loved Doku’s exciting take ons but Pep will have to do a fair bit of work with him positioning and not ball watching wise.

 

[wolviedinho]

Nothing controversial about it. If it’s good enough for the rags it’s good enough for us.

Plus it won’t be the winning goal. Fancy us to get it together and score few more second half.

Wasn't Akanji in offsidd position? He wouldn't touch that anyway? Don't even know what rules are in play but controversial definitely
