Former professional footballer Michael Owen shared his thoughts on Fulham’s recent match against Manchester City, highlighting the performance of winger Adama Traore. Owen believes that if Traore could improve his finishing, he would be playing for top clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona.

During the game, Traore missed three clear opportunities to score, which ultimately impacted Fulham’s 3-2 defeat. Despite his incredible pace and ability to outplay defenders like Kyle Walker, Traore’s lack of end product was evident.

City manager Pep Guardiola praised Traore’s performance, acknowledging his unstoppable nature on the field. However, Owen emphasized the importance of converting chances in order to compete at the highest level.

Fulham initially took the lead in the match, with goals from Andreas Pereira and Rodrigo Muniz. Despite the loss, Owen commended Fulham’s bravery and attacking approach against a strong opponent like Manchester City.

Overall, Owen believed that Fulham had the potential to challenge City and create more opportunities to score. If Traore had capitalized on his chances, the outcome of the game could have been different. Despite the defeat, Fulham’s performance showed promise and resilience in the face of tough competition.
