Fulham (H) - Pre Match Thread

[kaz7]

Huh, weird that Mendy isn’t even on the bench. But then again it’s a surprise to see sane go straight back into the starting 11
Maybe there wasn’t ever an issue and it is literally just rotation

We are really unbalanced with benny,back to what is the best balance for us,a puzzle for pep to solve

 

[Blueknows]

played 2 meaningless internationals

Isnt it about time he fecking retired from international football ffs

 

[Deleted member 81382]

So Stones, Gundogan, Mahrez and Jesus on the bench and Bravo, Danilo, Mendy, Kompany and De Bruyne not even in the squad. Now that's what you call depth.

You said it , its a good position to be in when you can VK , Mendy and the like altogether.

Bernardo probably wouldn't be on the bench today if KDB was available.

 

[Sir peace frog]

With Stones on the bench and only KDB and perhaps Danilo out of the squad that Pep would consider he would always rest a player like he has Leroy etc and today its Vincent.

saw danilo training on the last video I think,so he should be nearly ready for action

Sure he would. He'd take Foden"s spot

 

[shakeyboy]

Benji almost certainly caught on his phone at the training ground

 

[Bluep*ss]

So our back 4 are Kyle , Otto , Aymeric , Delphinho , middle 3 , ferny , Bernardo , Merlin ,
with Raheem , Sergio and Leroy.
Like that.

Agreed I was intimating we could have Foden if Pep decided to rest him for Lyon after his international duty.

No Diaz also, sadly.

Ah yep, agreed

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Last time I saw Fulham's rightback play (Cyrus Christie) was for Derby and he was atrocious. Hopefully he still is and Sane terrorises him.

 

[Mancity1980]

Anyone got the scoop, where is Mendy?

Zinchenko nearly sold and now makes the bench.

From what I've heard, Mendy has just been rotated. It happened to Walker v Hudds - and there are a lo of games coming up. #MCFC

Forget that. Just heard Mendy actually has a knock! Duff info first time round. #MCFC

 

[Mancityus]

Pep likes to go with a new look but since Fulham never saw us last year.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Yep really struggling, even Delph gets a game !! Obviously Wednesday in mind.

 

[teddykgb]

I’m strangely worried about this one and not usually one to be overly nervous. Fulham have looked good and will test us. Seri has looked very good so far

 

[Homar]

Fulham are a decent side. They're no pushovers. I expect another difficult game.
