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

[King Jay]

Omar and Erling please.

Well Omar back to the bench because he didn’t score against Liverpool. Will get his 5 minute cameo though!

 

[Dax777]

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

I had Nico G for Rodri. As I wanted to save him from 2 games in 4 days.

 

[clarion]

Foden starting
Poor decision from Pep. Do we really need another 0 fist half and 0:1 to chase

Ffs

 

[pride in battle]

No mugs these, should have got something against the rags !

 

[CumbriaCity]

Crikey, we're going on a run! Stones is out of his hospital bed! It's a sign!!!!!

 

[OntarioBlue]

Harsh on Khusanov

Isn’t he on concussion watch ? I’m surprised he’s even in the squad.

 

[ThreesKompany]

If Khusanov was really out cold then it makes sense not to play him with Dias needing fitness. Bit surprised Cherki, Reijnders and Nico G all on bench given they didn't start Sunday. Bench looking a lot stronger as guys come back.

 

[NordStrike]

Besides Foden, everything is fine.

He is useless at the moment.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Foden starting
Poor decision from Pep. Do we really need another 0 fist half and 0:1 to chase

Ffs

Needs to get his confidence back sooner or later, so makes sense starting him

 

[Chappie]

Harsh on Khusanov

Im amazed he's even in the squad after that knock on Sunday.

 

[Blueknows]

Harsh on Khusanov

And Moosh imo

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I would have played Khusanov, Cherki and Marmoush but a strong team nonetheless.

 

[Groke]

Not sure what Marmoush or Cherki have done wrong

 

[pbueno16]

Marmoush back to the shadow realm

 

[Blueknows]

Needs to get his confidence back sooner or later, so makes sense starting him

No better game than at the weekend, hope he can get it together tonight , we can't afford any slip ups now

 

[YatesA]

Hoping foden is up for this, having big competition and being able to switch players going forward is vital to maximise our chances of winning everything

 

[Damanino]

must win big time. only way we can put pressure on Arse if we keep winning especially home games vs mid and lower half sides.

Fulham lost 3 of their last 4 league games.

 

[Earlyriser]

And George Best

I'll raise you one Bedford Jezzard!

 

[wattle]

Does that mean Bernardo out wide? I bloody hope not. He’s been superb all season as a 6/8. He’s bang average out wide. Surely it’s Foden wide, but who knows with our Pep. Wouldn’t be shocked if he puts O’Rielly left back and Ait-N left side up front!!!!

 

[urban genie]

Khush wins player of the month, dropped as soon a Dias back
