Fulham usually prove hard work for us for some reason. They also put up a righteous fight at the Tarquins, so not expecting a pushover but we should still win. Be nice to see Doku get some playing time.

Will we be acknowledging the death of Mohamed Al Fayed ?

Dead as a Dodoi

Forgot they had Adama Traore. Will he drop his normal 9/10 against us ?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Interesting

Shame the Bahia stuff is happening pre match.

With the death of Al-Fayed, we could have played this instead.

Supposedly

I like it but it would be so disappointing to see Foden back to hugging the touchline again after what we've seen from him centrally of late.

Guess the issue is that we struggled against Fulham last season, so Pep is changing his approach to more direct play.

Alvarez won us the game at the cottage, so was always likely to play today.

Walker has to play in case Traore plays, meaning no back 3, so Foden can only really play wide unless you are dropping Kovacic or Bernado.
