Fulham (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Dax777]

I appreciate Pep had been brilliant for us and can make doubters look stupid. But it appears to me to be risky to play such an experimental side with 2 players who have not played much recently and a youngster like Torres whose coming to terms with league . Fulham have a lot to play and are playing well. Couldn’t we have experimented against Borussia? Oh well hopefully such doubts will prove to be ridiculous

No. This is exactly the right team to experiment against. A total disaster only hurts us slightly. Do it against Borussua and they turn us over in the CL and that would be a debacle...

There is no better time, nor a better team to experiment in live action with...

Good God Mendy.

Pep us one of us he's had a go at City Bingo.

First 11 numbers out, House.

Isn’t it a little concerning how so many people knew the team before the announcement?

It’s started to become more frequent over the past few weeks.

Do you not get the text from Kun?

Let me do my job as mouth piece. With 9 games to go and an 11 point lead (minimum), if Pep has ideas in his head that needs testing... When would you suggest is a better time to test those theories in a live match?

A cup final? The Champions League? Against Everton in the QF? Or against a positive football team in the league in a game he could risk dropping points if things doesn't go well?


Think it through. And you have your answer. This is a Chess move for the Champions League later stage. Some can't see it coz they are playing Checkers.

Your move! :)

It's fucking draughts not checkers..... FFS.

Mendy he’s having a laugh

Fixed

Make that 30-60 seconds and you got a deal. I can see the screaming after 15 seconds actually - "Get it together or we're going to lose this".

 

[mat]

Have a bad feeling about this game, as in a big loss.

Mendy hat-trick incoming.

Whatever the team or formation we're still fundamentally going to be playing the same way, it's a staple of City under Pep.
