Fulham (H) - Wed 11th Feb, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[WallyA]

Need to be on it from beginning to end, we are having too many 2nd half shitters this season.

Even our game against them was a severe case of this, we went from 51% possession 1st half and were comfortable, to just giving the ball away and having 34% possession 2nd half and just taking wave after wave of attack.

Go full strength, whatever that means for Pep, as Salford can have more rotation.

But some of those who didn't play last game like Foden, Cherki or Reijnders should have fresh legs, we should drop one of Marmoush or Semenyo, to pair the other with Haaland, we dont need all 3.

Pep likes the 442 diamond/4222 so Id do this:

Don

Nunes
Dias
Guehi
RAN

Cherki
Rodri
Bernie
Nico O

Haaland
Marmoush

Last time we played Fulham at home.(october 2024)

How many changes you see? Me , 7 at least.

Considering 4 have left the club and 2 are injured I'd say at least 6 lmao.

Probably 8 or 9.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Pep has said both Khushanov and Stones are available for this game.

Just watching Sky Sports news.

 

[SWP's back]

I assume Bobb wont start due to fitness (?) but may come off the bench.

Ahahahahahaha - edit oh you mean for Fulham.

 

[SWP's back]

Does nobody ever speak to Pep about the disconnect between the club and a lot of fans?

Obviously not and there’s where Sam Lee or any other journo at the press conference who is aware of the situation should tell him seeing as no **** at the club obviously has done.

 

[shemnel]

Ahahahahahaha - edit oh you mean for Fulham.

...... :D

Not sure Fulham will have had time to work on keeping a defensive shape, and Silva might anticipate us going with a more open shape, as per the recent Newcastle game, so man-marking and high pressing could be on the cards. Given that their subsequent games in the coming month are more ‘winnable’, on paper, they might see this one as a free hit and go for it. We probably need to watch for the pace of Chukwueze between our fullbacks and centre backs. Should be another entertaining game

It's probably evident with the poor atmosphere.
Some of us still try though.

 

[ArniArason]

Look at this vote compared to a couple of weeks ago lol. Surprising what a decent win can do for fans optimism
