Fulham (H) - Sat 2nd Sept, 15:00 l PL | Pre-Match Thread

[balotellishaircut]

We’re looking for our 18th consecutive home win across all competitions.

The record is 24 held by Sunderland since the 1890s.

I’m going for a City 2-0 or 3-1 win, and I’m hoping Doku gets a 30 min run out.

Well no, not directly because I'd have palmer on the right and it would be foden primarily off the left so if you want to simplify it to a 1 for 1 then no it would be foden for grealish.

If you bothered to read what I posted and watched us struggle to score against sheffield united and saw what Fulham did to Arsenal last weekend, even if you didn't agree with it, you'd see the reasoning is sound and nothing to laugh at. But keep up the quality input.

The only reason we struggles to score against Sheff Utd was our finishing was poor. We created more than enough chances to win comfortably.

If Bernardo, Foden and Grealish are fit, they are pretty much nailed on to start.

I can only see PalMer replacing Alvarez, but even that is unlikely.

Replace walker he's not needed play doku right wing.walker basically played like a winger anyway in first three games.it frees up and extra midfielder.

I doubt we would do that. Has Doku ever played as a right wing back? It’d be a surprising decision if he made his debut like that.

He’s more likely to come on with 25 mins left if we’re 2-3 goals up.

Bring akanji back in if fit to play next to rodders.
Like v newcastle

So who are you dropping for Doku?

Beranrdo, Foden, Kovacic or Grealish?

I would drop the first bloke, never heard of him.

Who does Foden replace?

 

[Ethan23]

Pretty surprised to see Palhinha in the starting lineup for Fulham tonight versus Spurs. I'm not complaining, though.

I'd have him as a Rodri back up

 

[St.Pauli support]

Referee: Michael Oliver.
Assistants: Stuart Burt, Dan Cook. Fourth official: Michael Salisbury. VAR: Tony Harrington. Assistant VAR: Adam Nunn.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I think we'll make very hard work of this game but still come out 2-1 winners. Ederson, Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake, Rodri, Kovacic, Bernardo, Foden, Doku, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Lewis, Gomez, Akanji, Phillips, Alvarez, Grealish, Nunes, Mcatee?

 

[CityDE]

Hope Doku starts this one!

 

[KS55]

2-0. Mitrovic has gone so they will not score.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Same team as Sheffield for me maybe with Phil in there if he's fully recovered from his illness.

We created enough chances in that Sheff Utd game to win 3 footie matches.

It will be a tough game but I'm confident we'll put another professional performance in and win it by 2 clear goals 1-3 is what my crystal ball says:-)
