The Champions v Fulham

[gavin]

CITY XI: Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias (C), Gvardiol, Kovacic, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Haaland

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Stones, Doku, Savinho, Nunes, McAtee

Personally, I'd like to see at least one quick winger.

Bloody Palace just denied a clear penalty , VAR fuck up

[Stephen Paul]

Good line up

No excuses , C/Mon Cirtyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Stephen Paul]

We are extremely poor at the back

[gavin]

We need more drive. We need Savinho and or Doku.

[Stephen Paul]

didnt realise Foden was playing until 43rd minute FFS

[Stephen Paul]

First Half
Grealish shite
Foden Shite
Dias Shite

Bernardo good
Kovacic excellent

[gavin]

Maybe not

[Stephen Paul]

Foden much better second half , need that 3rd

[gavin]

Walker was nailed for speed there

[gavin]

Maybe so

[gavin]

Fulham actually provided some opposition. We should have been more creative and clinical. Jack wasn't good. I much prefer us with pace. But then even Doku held the ball up a couple of times. What a goal though so I will let him off. Walker has definitely lost a yard or two. Erling should have shot instead of passing to Bernard before their second goal. I don't reckon he will make the same mistake again. He looked severely pissed off.

[Stephen Paul]

A draw would have been a fair result

Well done Fulham for giving it a right go

[Vickki]

I'm pleasedvwe won, but in my view we should have lost. Fulham had the more clear cut chances and should have took them. Another lack-luster performance after a midweek game.

Looked dodgy at the back again.  Missing Rodri big time but I'm sure Pep will sort it out.  The big positive is that we a team full of players that can score. 
Great game from Fulham who deserved a draw at least.  Onwards and upwards.

[Stephen Paul]

Glad to see the international break as I think Pep needs to regroup his team  as we are sloppy at the back

[gavin]

We have always been a bit dodgy at the back against fast breaks. But Pep will sort it out as far as is needed. There are not many as quick as Traore anyway.
