Despite Fulham's tough challenge against Manchester City, Joachim Anderson maintained a positive attitude. Manchester City quickly established an advantage by scoring three goals in just 15 minutes in the first half. In the second half, Fulham launched a counterattack and fought hard to try to narrow the gap, but due to their earlier deficit, they ultimately failed to complete the comeback.  

After the match, Joachim Anderson said: "It was a very tough game. Manchester City played well in the first half and were very clinical in their chances. We defended too much and tried to put more pressure on them in the attacking third, but we were too passive in the first half. They controlled the tempo of the game easily and didn't feel much pressure, which made it difficult for us to win."  

"Obviously, being 0-3 down at halftime made the game very difficult, but we told ourselves at halftime that we had to give it our all, just like we did when we played Manchester City at home. Unfortunately, this time we failed to score or create enough threats for them. However, everyone gave their all in the second half. We are certainly disappointed, but we must regroup as soon as possible."  

Despite Fulham's mere one win in their last five Premier League matches, Joachim Anderson says the team has no reason to panic. He points out that, apart from the game against Manchester City, the margins of victory in the other matches were very narrow.  

Joachim Anderson added: “Recent results have certainly been unfavorable for us. I think we've had some bad luck; for example, against Manchester United, we should have gotten more, at least a point. And in the last game against Everton, we could have led by three or four goals in the first half, but our performance dipped in the second half. So I remain optimistic. Playing away against Manchester City will be tough, but we will face it with our heads held high and continue to give it our all.”
