Fulham (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Fordyboy46]

There's more than enough there but the game has gone from what should be a comfortable win to a possible struggle with that lineup. Haaland, foden and kdb are our only match winners, having just 1 of them on the pitch puts a lot of pressure on their shoulders to produce as I don't see where the service is coming from otherwise. Not a fan of Bernardo out wide either, he's a central midfielder and also having our entire midfield on the pitch at once limits our options with subs. we've only got 4 midfielders for 3 positions, we shouldn't be using them elsewhere too. If we don't hit them hard and fast early this might be a long 90 mins. Slow start, subs to win it for us.

Probably mate

Both can come on if needed Madchester and make an impact.

Still feel deflated with that starting 11, I really dislike Grealish and Mahrez playing wide together

Tell me what is wrong with saying that. A 22 yo lad shouldn't need resting so regularly

You're quite right

 

[Eccles Blue]

He can only put 11 players on the pitch, sometimes players need a little rest. Pep said himself that Phil was tired so he’s using him sensibly. Haaland is coming back from an injury so same reason.
We’ll win, we’re Manchester City for goodness sake. ;-) :-)

Jack scoring 2 today

Haaland on the bench - fine. He's coming back from injury.

But why the fuck has Foden been benched 3 games running?

If Mahrez starts again I'm gonna lose

Stones and Ake is a worry? Mitrovic could bully them two abit? Ruben would have been better in there

I think it will be Akanji playing inside with Stones at right back!

Fulham are 7th and play good football, could be a tight game

No Mitrovic

FFS is on the bench from what I saw.

Only heard it briefly, but isn't Mahrez on the bench?
