Fulham (A) - Sun 30th April, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[PragueBlue]

Thought we might see Foden in for KDB but looks like Alvarez. Not totally convinced he's the most suitable for that role but we shall see. Would have preferred Bernardo on the right but I guess even he needs an occasional break!

Otherwise a very solid looking side.

 

[117 M34]

Bench looks weak. If we are being and need to change it, we've not got many options.

 

[Don Karleone]

Like that team

 

[Heath Park]

Pep playing the long game.
Resting Kevin and Bernie.
Gundogan/Rodri master class please...
Control the game.
Three points and move on.

 

[KingGeorge]

A team without Bernado is a weaker team :/ hopefully Alvarez energy is a good enough replacement

He may come on later. Pep likes to use him and Mahrez aa subs when they don’t start

 

[Gabriel]

First League game de Bruyne has missed through injury this season. The two he sat out on the bench were the 4-2 win at home to Spurs and the 1-4 win away to Bournemouth.

 

[Chi-town blues]

full on attack. Let’s go city

 

[OntarioBlue]

Who is the third midfielder, Alvarez, Mahrez or Grealish. My guess is Alvarez.

 

[Gumzy97]

I wonder if Pep sees Alvarez as a ten /cam and not an out and out striker.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Silva also out of starting lineup.
I don't like it, but I guess it's not that bad. Mahrez tends to be mediocre to totally vanished this season when he starts a game(Cup semi an exception). Let's hope he changes that this game.
