Fulham boss Jokanovic stands by tactics for Man City rout

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic stands by his tactics for their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City.

The scoreline flattered Fulham, who were let off the hook by City as Pep Guardiola's side were very wasteful in front of goal.

"This is how we want to play," he said.

"I've seen many teams that want to attack and still lose to City. I've also seen teams sit back and lose the game too. We believe our style is the better choice for us to play. We believe we can create chances. We showed some shyness today, like we didn't want to hurt them."

City have now won 18 of their last 20 Premier League home games and Jokanovic was impressed with their quality.

"It's tough - it's not easy playing City," he said.

"They played well and showed their quality. They are fighting for different targets to us. We start both halves with big mistakes. We had some possession of the ball and chances but we didn't create chances to win any points."
