[David Silva #21]

Playing Fulham away is one of the toughest games in PL this season. Every top 6 team struggled in that stadium. We will have a very tough game.
I think we don't have that concentration in defence anymore. in last 4 PL matches we have conceded 6 goals. this in not good at all. Pep should take care of defence again.

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo Gundogan
Raheem KDB Foden

2-0 city

I'd put Mahrez in for Sterling to be honest and maybe Cancelo at RB with Zinchenko on the left but other than that, it's probably our most solid team.

I think our loss of defensive control is mainly due to the players playing in front of the defence. We play a combination with KDB in CM and we become much easier to play through. We play Rodri, Gundogan and Bernardo, then we retain the ball better, thus taking pressure off the defence but we also work better as a unit off the ball and stopping opposition attacks.

IMO, KDB should be playing in a more advanced role as one of the front 3. That way he is in a position to hurt the opposition with his creativity and runs but if he loses the ball, it's not going to cause us as many problems as he has players behind him to win it back.

It will probably be a low scoring game, going on Fulham’s last 6 games. Chances may be at a premium. City need to grind Fulham down with their passing, before snatching a couple of late goals.
I believe the DC rotation would be Stones and Laporte this week. What’s your views on that?
Pace, energy and control required for this game.
Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Laporte, Zinky,
Bernado, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Mahrez and Aguerro.

Aguerro needs to start a game now and if necessary pull him after 60 mins. In a tight match we may need Aguerro to take any chance. He is worth the risk when you consider the attacking options of certain players who can’t hit a barn door at the moment.

Thats my view.

P.S. Who is the ref for this game?. The ref could become Fulham’s most dangerous man.

Ring the changes at Gladbach and bring in Walker, Laporte (or Ake), Fernandinho, Sterling, Jesus, Torres and even possibly Mendy.

kdb will be rested imo after starting last three games and playing full 90, can’t leave mahrez out on current form. Walker needs a run to get back in form and fulham have plenty of pace so will need him. Very tough game but a win pretty much secures another title. 2 1 city

With the exception of Kev as the false 9,id prefer Jesus in that role,thats our strongest team right now.

Tough game this they are fighting for survival but we are fighting to win back our crown plus pep is pissed off. Nothing but a city win. It could be another 5-2 scenario like Southampton.

Time for some Aguero action now
