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

[Brightwell Bros.]

For better or worse that's our current most balanced eleven.

That said, it's a touch worrying how much Pep seems to trust an otherwise pretty deep squad that we have spent a lot of money on....

 

[Baconsane]

I'd be amazed if he's still alive in 125 years.

Ha, nice one!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Cherki should really be starting.

Yep

 

[Dax777]

Unfortunately we don't have any better options at the moment.

Because he is one of the best Right backs in the league.

 

[pbueno16]

Think this would've been a good opportunity for Marmoush to get some minutes and develop form and give Haaland a rest for Sunderland and Madrid

 

[Earlyriser]

I think this is Pep's message to the board that he doesn't rate any of them

Don't buy that. Too early to judge Cherki but applying reverse logic if he rates Reinjders we have problems

 

[Ajm1985]

Adter a rewatch, we weren't particularly good in the first half against Leeds. We scored early and had a great opening 10 minutes. Then it was a series of mistakes and chances given up but Leeds were too poor to capitalize.

Second half was no different. Except we didn't score or have an early 10 minute upper hand .

Did we have a great opening 10 minutes? Leeds settled after the goal and we didn't have a shot again until the 20th minute. Then we had a few grouped around Gvardiol's goal and a decent spell before HT.

 

[Gobshiight]

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"

Has to be this because there were a few performers on Saturday that deserved dropping

 

[pudge]

Fully expect a shite Fulham team this season to play the best game of their life tonight

Sunderland is tough

It's at home though, more likely to make 3-5 changes in that, than away in London on a Tuesday night.

They are anything but shit at home - 4W from 6, 1 defeat.
Don't disrespect teams for the sake of it

 

[Gaz76]

Peps hardly changed that side in the PREM for a while now, it's only the reindeer and cherki he's not sure about

 

[Norbert D]

Silva and Foden starters in away games doesnt usually end well these days. Nico G going to be covering a lot of ground.

Don't you just know it. Then lose at the weekend.

 

[supercity88]

Will be a tough game, but hopefully we can perform for the full 90. Can't remember the last time we did mind!

 

[Dax777]

Did we have a great opening 10 minutes? Leeds settled after the goal and we didn't have a shot again until the 20th minute. Then we had a few grouped around Gvardiol's goal and a decent spell before HT.

Perhaps great is an overstatement. We seemed the better team in the first 10.

But overall, it wasn't a good performance in either half

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

As always.

It's usually the referee letting them get 'stuck in' and then giving fouls against us for similar challenges that is the catalyst for the opposition to turn in to prime Barcelona.

 

[Gumzy97]

Yeah and Wilson for them is in the best form he's ever been in. Took spurs apart on his own

 

[ancoats]

Ah but I don't think we know our strongest XI yet this season unfortunately.

same starting 11
