Was McGregor beaten far too easily at his near post?

No in fairness Fulham had 4 against 2 in that attack was a goal as soon as they broke free unless they ballsed it up themselves! :old:

Just watched it again and our defense was exposed with 5 Fulham players breaking forwards. Everyone thought he was either going to shoot across McGregor or square it, I think it was a clever finish.

I'm more concerned with their second goal. Morrison didn't close down Cairney quickly enough and Connolly didn't track the runner. Those 2 have been largely at fault for the majority of goals we have conceded recently and it's lazy defending. It's a concern.

Their first goal was like Barnsley at home all over again, but in fairness City battled hard against a good Fulham side and deserved a point

Where on earth was Jazz Richards for the first goal?

Their player seemed to be strolling by the time he reached the box and nobody was anywhere near him when he scored!

Our full backs were both poor today and I think if Warnock intends to mount a serious promotion challenge then two new full backs will be needed next season.

I thought Jazz had great 1st half and got in front of his man a few times to break up play and stop the attack. And I'm not normally a jazz fan tbh but he has improved considerably last few games imo

Definitely no blame on our keeper.

Ross, it was a clever finish and well executed :thumbup:

Keepers normally expect strikers to shoot across them but (like Zohore's second) sometimes you just have to say "Nice one!" and move on (as the City players, including the otherwise excellent McGregor) did to their credit :ayatollah:

No but Why need K Harris Harris just stop after chasing the Fulham scorer ????

Noone got drawn to the ball which give the scorer space to run into the box, Harris bust a gut to get back then stopped
