This is a game where we will need to grind them down, go forward quicker and fast ball speed and sharp movement. TAKE THE CHANCES ffs.
We waste so many it’s criminal. I just hope they don’t come back to bite us.
Fulham are no mugs. They will be right up for this and if we are sloppy with possession and give them a chance, they won’t miss.
2-1 City.
As long as we always score 1 more than the opposition, I’ll be happy. No team could match that!!!!!
 
Four or five if Sane and Sterling start.

If Mendy plays, though, our winning scoreline will be reduced.

I'll go 4-1 with Leroy, Sergio and Raheem all on scoresheet.

Respect every opponent but C'mon blues, seriously?

Fulham are a neat promoted team who couldn't get anywhere near Wolves last year.

Nobody would be trying to find arguments for Fulham beating Barcelona or Real Madrid at home this weekend.

We are at that level.

The great thing about Fulham from our point of view is they play like a team who's used to being the best in their division & controlling games and haven't gotten used to being smaller fish in the big pond. The midfield of Cairney, McDonald and Seri/Zambo Anguissa isn't strong enough, Cairney's a tidy player but doesn't do enough defensively.

We should completely overrun them in the middle and that should be it really.

Not a side I am familiar with. So many new signings and loans.

Not too familiar but I get the impression they are a bit like Bournemouth and try to play a bit, the sort of team we don't have much trouble with.

But it's teams like that who have the best chance of creating an upset. It will be sides that we don't take too seriously and who have quality on the counter-attack who could score first and create a real problem.

I don't think it's a contradiction to say we have more chance of winning heavily against a good open side and losing.

I too expect to win and win well, but always expect the unexpected. From the very little I have seen of Fulham they look a decent side and in their first season back in the Premier League they will be really up for this. Coming to the Champions is what last season was all about for them.
 
A win, I think, but a narrow one as far as the score line goes. I’m going for 2-1 but hope to be proved wrong and it turns out to be more comfortable than that. I will be interested to see how Seri plays, seeing that a few Premier clubs were taking a look at him last season, including ourselves, apparently.

It could be a narrow win you never know, it could be a draw or a defeat I suppose. But I don't know why anyone watching us for the last year would expect or predict anything but a comfortable win at home against Fulham. If it was Liverpool or Madrid or Barcelona at home against against Fulham would you predict a narrow win
 
If we start like we did against Newcastle then Fulham could cause a threat. But if we play our A game from the off, then we could and should beat em quite comfortably.. no disrespect to Fulham, who have signed some good players( that Sessignon looks quality) but play our top game and it's 3 points. End of errand!

I'm sure the CLUB take everyone seriously. Our thoughts and ideas are not representative of them.
 
I am hoping that Sane makes his first start. I would like to see him link up with Mendy but wonder if this is possible as they may take up similar positions. Potentially it could be a link up that devastates teams.
