Match Thread | Man City vs Fulham (05/11/22)

So if we drop points in this game a load of people here will find solace in feeling we were 'cheated'. You play the match you are in... regardless the obstacles. If you are blaming being cheated as the reason you've been hard done by there's no way you've got the mindset at the same time to push forward and do what is needed for your team.

Well thats a load of bollox

Well done

Some of you guys in here supporting this referee need your f****** head testing absolutely need your head testing

i thought cancelos challenge was a foul - shoulder to shoulder is when the ball is there to be won and it wasnt that - he twatted in to him.

with the possibility of red it's a stupid challenge - let the guy try and control it and shoot and we stay with 11.

and yes they are making niggly fouls but they arent all yellows get a grip and city players should get a grip as well

If you think it’s a foul then it’s a red card and a penalty because those are the laws of the game.

 

[Keeper!]

Cancelo cost us big time.

One of the most brain dead players I’ve seen for this club.

A complete fucking thick bastard.

Killed any chance we have of winning.

Cancelo gave the ref an oppertunity, rank bad defending, red card harsh but it was a penalty

Grealish off for foden

Alvarez off for haalland (need something to occupy their defence. Game changed now sadly for Alvarez)

Got to be done. Grealish just doesn’t do enough. Yeah I agree on Haaland. They will shit themselves when he comes on and go full on defensive.

Complete crazy talk

We were in complete control until the red. Ake abysmal defending on a long ball, it’s bread and fucking butter to any half-decent CB. Cancelo braindead.

Grealish needs to come off and not come back until he learns to get his fucking head up. It’s truly ridiculous the amount of ball that he sees out wide and produces the grand sum of fuck all with it. Players are consistently making runs off him but they never get the ball.

Get Foden and Haaland on and give them something to think about up top.

 

[Mentis]

It's not a pen and a red. The refs clearly fucking up this game for city.

Cancelo stupidly runs into the back of the Fulham player. Once it's a pen, it's always going to be a red as he takes the player down without attempting to get the ball.

Every city player has something to his game that is elite. Maybe not the best all the time, but every one of them has an area of strength to their game that's better than almost all, one thing. gundo's football intelligence, rodri's tempo setting, de bruyne's passing, dias' strength.

I genuinely don't know what jack has that is elite. can't dribble past players, can't finish, makes bad decisions consistently, slow, both with his thinking and his play, just nothing.

He can dribble past players, but it’s better when he plays a bit deeper and more central where he has space to have a good run at them and commit defenders. Then he looks top notch.

I don’t think he does his best work in tight spaces out on the left.

True this, although we can’t complain about the pen. Clear foul and stupidity by Cancelo. A draw would be a good result from here.

Cancelo offers way too much to the team going forward

You would think we have enough quality in attack to create enough chances without being dependent on playing a winger at fullback to score goals.
