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

[BerkshireBlue]

Go strong in this game, it's away from home against a midtable team and it's one of our games in hand. We then have two home games against lower table teams that we can rotate in before Madrid.

The Viking's hair, which is lovely, is the focal point of the talks. City are still two points back, so I would guess Guardiola would rotate little. Hopefully, the trophy would be won soon enough, and the requisite amount of coldness and unease could be felt all around.

Only concern is, can hair be offside?

 

[bluwes]

Any word on Ake?

Not yet ready

Depends on his daily regime for hair. A bundle of thick, supple, and fragrant hair just might get the ball over the line, and they will have to consider it for offside calls.

Time to bring back a song for him:
"Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it,
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Long beautiful HAIR ... "

(The old hippies left among us will know it.)

Will we get away with sneaking an extra player on?

 

[mosssideblue]

A few weeks ago young Rico Lewis was arguably the best thing since sliced bread. Unless he has picked up an injury I see no reason why he should not play some minutes against the lesser sides. Nobody seems to have mentioned him.

Lesser sides are equally as capable of taking points off anybody and at this critical time of the season for us, a loss of points could be disastrous.

I cannot see Pep getting us to this position and deciding to take any unnecessary risks

He could bring him on when a game is won, which is the more realistic probability

 

[Bluekiwi]

Do we know any tame refs?

 

[shroom]

found at a Fulham fan forum, didn't verify if true ...

Bernard twice ?

 

[vmsuhail]

Business end of the season, Rico won’t be starting any time soon imo.

Walker is raring to play based on his last interview, no way he is getting dropped.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

More of this please tomorrow :)

KDB & THE VIKING...BEST DUO IN THE WORLD ...

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

3 games….3 wins…and we’re virtually there.

Come on city !! Big game, big 3 points please….

 

[KS55]

Fulham are no mugs. A draw would not be a disaster but we should win this with a decent performance. They are missing Metrovich which helps us enormously.
Which tactic will we use, 4-3-3 or Wednesday’s virtual 4-4-2?

Think Willian is out too.

 

[Big Swifty]

Think Willian is out too.

His absence would certainly help us.

No complacency, please.
