Fulham Manager Chris Coleman said: "We were very poor in that first half, we didn't ask them any questions in attack, we were second to everything in midfield and shaky at the back.
"All in all I was just pleased to get them off at the break only one down, we were lucky it wasn't more.
"But we were tremendous in the second half, we changed our shape a bit and went at them. We got the equaliser and then could easily have won it.
"I had a few words, a rant really, at the break because we cannot allow ourselves to start games like that.
"Every game in the Premiership is tough and if we want to be better than last season, we know we cannot do things like we did in the first half and expect to get points."
Man City boss Kevin Keegan was unhappy with the 1-1 draw. Robbie Fowler gave the home side the lead with an overhead kick before Collins John levelled for the visitors.
"We were outstanding in the first half and totally dominated the game," he said.
"But we were never going to be able to produce another 45 minutes like that in the heat and Fulham were always going to have a good spell. They did and although their goal was a bit fortunate, they will probably feel they deserved a point.
"We, in the end, were first feeling unlucky after the first half and then probably a little relieved that we got the point because we could easily have lost."
