Fulham (A) - Tue 2nd Dec, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Surprised Cherki isnt in. Him and Foden are on the same wavelength and they both are better defensively than Reijnders.

 

[mexico1970]

Decent side I feel 3 points coming and a full on show from Mr Norway.

 

[discopop]

Right you blue bastards no second half performance like you are all stoned please.

 

[br88]

Playing Bernardo and Reinjders ahead of Cherki is criminal.

 

[Stelea]

I would have been tempted to change the left of the defence. Gvardiol and O Reilly struggled v Leeds with the later looking tired

 

[pbueno16]

Would've liked to have seen Stones give Gvardiol a rest and Cherki/Bobb/Savinho for Bernardo, but this lineup should get it done.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I'll go with - Pep's team talk is "right fuck off with that 2nd half shit - go show me that the 1st half wasn't a one off"

 

[remember arthur mann]

Is the pitch still a postage stamp?

 

[youngbob]

Pep reckons Stones, Marmoush, and Cherki would be better used against Sunderland then.

Fair enough!

 

[Claytop]

No in between with Pep currently, either he changes the whole team or nothing at all…

 

[jaiguruKun]

I don't know how he can possibly think no changes were required after Saturday. It's also obvious that the Dias/Gvardiol partnership isn't working...and I just don't get what he sees in Reijnders.

 

[citytill1die84]

Pretty surprised that there's no changes tbh. Come on City.

Given a 2nd chance to prove they ain't shit lol.

Hopefully they're fired up.

 

[ninjamonkey]

No real issue with no changes but did feel like a few changes would have been better for everyone. I'd have liked to have seen him move the defence around a bit and possibly get someone into midfield. Reijnders is masterfully stealing a starting position at present.

There is no reason why that starting 11 shouldn't win here. Another must win if we want to be serious title challengers. More dropped points before arsenal do would be curtains for us.

 

[CityDE]

Pep really doesn't trust anybody on that bench, besides maybe Cherki and Stones.
Not a good sign.

 

[Invisible Man Fan]

Thought we would have seen some rotation tonight. Glad Savinho is on the bench. If I ever see him in a City shirt again it will be too soon.

No idea what Marmoush has to do to get a start in the league either

 

[Blueknows]

Same XI too:

Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Gonzalez, Silva, Foden, Reijnders, Doku, Haaland

Cherki for Reindeer imo

 

[Gordyola]

Nunes ffs !!

Hopefully he’s got his bozo moment out of his system he did get an assist for the goal and probably was better than a lot of the others You could say the same about Gvardiol who Nunes has been better than all season

 

[waspish]

Same team! Now if pep thought because we had so many chances first half against Leeds we go again same team, am not sure really yep we had a lot chances but still don’t think we were that good!

Let’s hope we make the same chances and score 2/3

 

[Dax777]

Donnarumma; Nunes Dias Stones O’Reilly; Nico G Bernardo; Foden Haaland Marmoush Cherki

Id bench Bernardo

 

[cleavers]

No in between with Pep currently, either he changes the whole team or nothing at all…

....and he wouldn't win on here whichever he did !
