Match Thread | Man City vs. Fulham (05/10/24)

That was not a great performance from us, labouring at home again and falling behind again. Yet there are the usual happy clappers who seem to take great offence if you dare suggest that we haven't been prime 1970 Brazil in Mexico.

Gundo isn't the player that left us, hopefully its just a case of him getting up to speed and not more than that

 

[phargrave]

He is just so predictable.

Very rarely looses the ball though

 

[Rammy Blue]

Poor, really poor.

If Peps “solution” to losing Rodri is to play Bernie and Grealish wide together to make us more solid, we’ve got no fucking chance. It’s like having 4 full backs on the pitch and only Gvardiol can defend. Grealish hasn’t scored this year and Bernie for more than 20 games…how the fuck does that end up making up 2/3rds of your front 3? Crazy.

On top of this, we’ve got the slowest midfield imaginable. Gundo looks like he’s towing a caravan. There is literally zero creativity across the middle and out wide. We are at home and have set up like an away side. Painful.

Rico and Gundo need to come off. Walker at RB. Bernie in the middle. Savio out wide to give us some kind of threat.

I’m sat here shaking my head constantly at how Pep has managed to pick this team and tactics, it’s so weird.

This going down feigning injury shite needs to be nipped in the bud big time.. It’s fuckin cheating in plain sight. It’s easily dealt with by refs, just wave play on, it would stop overnight ..!!

 

[paulchapo]

Frustrating game to watch. Should have been two up then as usual we concede a sucker punch. A bit sloppy and it really could go either way this.

Ian Wright is a ****

He's free to run his mouth now he isn't working for the BBC.

Spot on.

The team looks a yard short with no flair.

 

[Eccles Blue]

We are giving them too much space. Bernie is doing a good job but has no cover. Rico is trying too hard.

 

[Rammy Blue]

He's getting bullied by Taore. It's a physical mismatch. Bring either Stones on and swap Akanji or to right back or swap Rico with Walker.

He’s not stopped a single cross from Robinson either.
