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

The keeper's having to compensate for a ball being hit directly towards a player in an offside (i.e. illegal) position.

Whether he actually touches it or not shouldn't be the point.

Ah well, it evens itself up over the season. Or so we're told every time we get shafted.

Var is finally being used in the right way. Mainly to help city win.. love it. Cry baby cry -:)

Is anyone surprised?

Not at all, these sort of decisions all even themselves out over the course of a season, mate, everybody knows that ;)

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Hmmmm, I'd be pretty pissed off it that was given against us. But I'll take it considering the way we've been playing.

 

[Gibblue]

Please stop comparing that goal to rashford last season they are not the same in any way. Rashfords should have been off and Akes should not

What happened at the end there? No one has a clue in the ground

Back to game, that was a shit half.

Foden the only one who looks on it.

Got to get him in the middle. It’s so obvious. Isn’t it? Or is it just me

 

[Paladin]

Surely if they were against us they'd been canceling them off? They've had a great opportunity there to deny us a goal that's put us into the lead.

On our screens, they must have replayed it about 15 times. It was obvious from the first that Akanji didn't touch the ball. It was as if they might be a touch of they looked harder at it over and over again.

 

[TrentGrisham]

no worse than McBurnie last Sunday...he was right in front of Ederson..Akanji was 5 yards away

He was technically onside because Walker was laying out of bounds though.

 

[1961_vintage]

Lol. That should've been disallowed.

He will make amends in the 2nd half.

A good side Fulham, I hope we come out fighting and get a third early on…..
