Man City 5-1Fulham 2 September

I'm amazed the ref never sent Diop off!
Not because he should have but because that would really cap the day off nicely!

[Texas White]

2nd goal changed the game. Joke yet again

[St Eve]

The game was over when the ref, assistants and VAR give them a second goal a minute before half time - the 49th minute.

Yes he really screwed that up

Adama should come on for Wilson

Waiting for the ref to card someone for time wasting 4-1 down

There's no doubt IMO that MC have been the better team (as they should be with all the talent they have bought) but not to justify this score-line. Having said that, I have enjoyed our approach and attitude. They know they have been run closer than the score suggests.

Their second (non) goal totally changed the game. Surely the league chairmen can get together to do something about this stupid "not interfering" interpretation? The international break is a perfect opportunity to build up a head of steam. They've changed interpretations before - the handball in the area for example.

[SP]

Ouch

Goals change games, even the ones that should have been disallowed.

Awful start by Castagne

[SerbianLad]

That's why I said Castagne is not an upgrade on Tete. He got turned inside out by a fullback, while Tete kept their new star winger in his pocket.

celebrate a 5th goal, in the 96th?? don't care that it's a hat trick.

[davew]

Another wasted and spoilt afternoon, at least there won't be any bad decisions against us next weekend.

Maybe not exactly a good sample size is it? Has reason gone completely out the window?

Did Luke Harris come out for the second half...?

I have nothing against Castagne, think he is an excellent backup, probably the best we can get. But some people were suggesting he was brought in as an upgrade on Tete and that is in my opinion laughable.

It's not just this game, last season Castagne was poor defensively while Tete was one of the best 1 on 1 defenders. Tete is just better, I got absolutely nothing against Castagne.

[Fulham 1879]

They need to change the rules and just give the top teams two wildcards every game which they can use at their discretion: one, the award of a penalty at any point in the game that they find most helpful and, two, to rule that a goal of theirs that should blatantly be ruled out stands. It would make the game much easier to follow and clear up a lot of confusion.

I've said before they I think Silva doesn't appreciate Tete. Why else would we have got Soares on loan? You don't spend £100K per week to get someone to sit on the bench. He was intended to be an upgrade on Tete. Of course, Silva made a mistake and soon realised why Soares couldn't get a kick for Arsenal.
