strong and stable with me, or...
How hard did Ream actually pull Jesus? Yes he went down like he’d been yanked hard, but was he?
Sorry, the ref is Kevin Friend so I am always looking for mistakes and big team advantage
Looked a forceful yank to me.
Not sure you can blame the striker or the ref for that one.
Haven’t seen the incident, but regardless of this I genuinely believe he is the worst referee in the PL.
Obviously I am aware Dean, Moss, Madley push him close.....

nothing wrong with that decision, he impeded him.

Fair enough, he did go down like he’d been grabbed really hard and I wasn’t convinced he had. No argument with the penalty though so pretty irrelevant probably
Fulham getting totally outclassed

I still haven’t forgotten his total bias in the game against Liverpool last year where he gave every decision to Liverpool and allowed himself to be conned by Salah for the penalty.
He allowed Bournemouth to foul us at will on Tuesday too without booking them

2-0.
This could turn out to be one of the biggest victory margins for years.
Poor Fulham. You have to feel sorry for their travelling fans. A friendly club.

Ruined the game though. I had thought they'd changed the rule where you didn't get the double punishment of red card and a pen?

Opinionated
I hate billy no mates as much as everyone, but if the defender made no attempt to play the ball, even he had no choice but to send him off
Fulham now 60/1....worth a punt? [emoji23]
Edit. Now 1000/1 [emoji3]

Silly old bat
Didn’t City beat Burton Albion 8-0 or similar last season?
Is Phil 'Forgotten' Foden allowed onto the pitch for this one?
Remember Pep praising our approach after the game earlier this season, and idly wondering if a loan of young Foden to the Albion might one day transpire.
But then I'd forgotten that he generally gets a couple of minutes a season playing time in the FA Cup, before being locked back in the cupboard for another six months or so, so that's a non-starter.

Yes. That was the League Cup though. Based on what I've seen so far, I think Citeh might be wasteful in front of goal and keep it respectful. Scott Parker looks so pissed off in the rain.

Spot on decision to be fair. What an idiot. 4 mins in to do that.

10 Man Fulham giving a decent account of themselves defensively. Bit of a training run-out for Man City tho, as you'd expect.

Only if the defender was trying to play the ball.
This match...an utter waste of time having it on live, even before the penalty/red card.
Fulham are defending well to keep it at two. But this is turgid stuff now.
Might turn over for the World Bowls final though. Always humbling to see the champion and see what it means to them in a sport with not much money. The winner's cheque isn't too shabby though - about £50k. Still a skilful game to hold your nerve.

VAR decides Gabriel Jesus was onside and it's 3-0.
