    A good little spell for Fulham. They are still in this game.

    Surprising, after that first spell, it's still only 2-0. One or two Man City players are starting to relax a bit, perhaps too much. Raheem Sterling looks tired actually.

    One goal and one assist, but Sergio Aguero is now off the pitch suggesting he has an injury.

    Gabriel Jesus is on.

    Ryan Sessegnon, one of the bright sparks, for Fulham today has the beating of Kyle Walker on the left.

    However, the eventual delivery is punched away by Ederson.

    Raheem Sterling has been absolutely brilliant for England, and for Man City of course.

    He's taken his game to another level. Having the players he has around him like Sergio Aguero and Bernardo Silva has given him that confidence.

    The initial corner comes to nothing but then De Bruyne sets up Nicolas Otamendi, who fires a shot that clears the bar and stand.

    The ball is now approaching Barnes.

    However, they now have a corner.

    Fulham have settled in quite well to this second half.

    They've got their tails up, if you can say that about them.

    They are the first English top-flight side to concede at least twice in 12 consecutive league games since Newcastle between May-October 1977 (14 games).

    Fulham need to cut out the mistakes and not take risks at the back.

    More importantly, they need to have confidence, and that attitude of mind. That's the message I would be giving.

    Joe: Aguero or Sterling?? Try Bernado Silva. Quality mixed with industry.

    Al: Best City player could just as well go to Bernardo Silva. He has been outstanding.

    We are back under way at a Craven Cottage craving for a better display from the hosts.

    Fulham's caretaker chief Scott Parker marches out of the tunnel first, deep in thought.

    The players follow, including Sergio Aguero who has a smile on his face.

    Ominous with a capital 'O'.

    Michael: Can we just take a moment to acknowledge City's bench?

    Jon: Can Fulham bring some of City’s subs on for the second half? Give them a sporting chance?

    Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sane, Riyad Mahrez, Fernandinho and John Stones all on the bench. Pep Guardiola very much spoiled for choice.

    Fulham have handed this game to Man City. No desire, no plan. We're already going down: why not give it a go? why play five at the back? our defence is the weakest part of the team: why add an extra member to it?! A mood of general bemusement and resignation here in the Hammersmith End at the Cottage. I think the most we're hoping for is a second half City goal scored without a Fulham assist.

    That's Man City at their best.

    Fulham haven't been great, they have been nervous and gifted City a few chances. City were dream-like, and you have to have admiration for how they have played. The 2-0 scoreline doesn't flatter them.

    Despite City's dominance, there is that sense that Fulham will score.

    • What are your thoughts on City's display so far?
    • Were Fulham fans buoyed with what they saw in the second period of that half?

    Bernardo Silva, who has already teed up Aguero for one goal, almost sees another 'tee up' result in City's third as Ilkay Gundogan's first time effort flashes past Sergio Rico's far post.

    At the other end, Joe Bryan, with the mindset of "I must atone for my earlier error", almost atones for his earlier error with a strike that flies narrowly wide of Ederson's far post.

    Can I hear the half-time whistle?
