Fulham v City Pre Match Thread

[bluevengence]

Just arrived with my wife in London. Today a little bit shopping, tomorrow Fulham against City whilst my Missus continues shopping. Sunday eve back to Germany. Glory times. Only thinks I need is an answer of the supporters service where I can pick up my ticket. Ordered two weeks ago, but the ticket did not arrive in time. Same problem for West Ham a few weeks ago. But that time the service worked much quicker. By the way...3-1 City tomorrow;-)

enjoy the day and the win mate.



if its any help. i left my ticket at home for the leicester game, went to their ticket office with my city details and they printed another ticket there and then.

Got an email from the supporters service now. So everything will work, I think. Duplicate Ticket which I can pick up at Stevenage Road Ticket Office.

Cheers

Your only worry now is your wife running around London with your credit card..:-(

I just think that we've got far, far too much for them in midfield. Play Ferny, Yaya, Silva and Nasri, and there's just too much traffic going up front, whether it' s Dzeko alone, Negredo alone, or both together, for us to fuck up on this one. And whoever's in the back four (and yes, I'm uneasy about James in that right back slot), if we get the sheer possession of the ball that I fully expect us to get, with what is currently Europe's most fearsome midfield quartet, bar none, then the defensive quartet shouldn't even be getting much pressure put on them. Not arrogance: just can't see the game going any other way, given what we've done in the last six games. I know one thing. If we don't get the three points here, then it will be quite a waste of the sterling work done in those games. And will put a brake on this unbelieveable momentum that we've been building. Because for the first time since the first four months of 2011-12, we've got that look again of a team that just expects to win, even with key players out.

If Milner plays right back, I'm very confident he'll do extremely well. Now we're playing with very attacking full-backs, he's tailor-made for the position.

Easy three points this.

---------------Hart----------------
Kolarov---Kompany----Lescott---Clichy
-----------Yaya-----Fernandinho----------
Navas-----------Silva-----------Nasri
---------------Negredo--------------

swap clichy and kolarov over as clichy can usehis right foot.

I liked the idea of Kolarov coming onto his strong foot and setting up the beast

 

[kinkladz-ade]

Hopefully should be a comfortable win with no injuries

 

[jefr]

Fulham have no injuries except the long-term one to Hangeland.

Rodallega is back after 2 months out.

And as Clichy said, there's the new manager bounce (always seems to be us facing this threat!). They got battered by Everton away, but won their last home game.

Still think we'll win, as long as the players perform to their recent level.

They got a heavy defeat in the end at Everton, but were unlucky according to accounts I have read

They seem to have picked up their performance levels under the new manager

it's Meulensteen, they're going to be up for this, our players need to treat them like the Rags, because he's treating us like we're scum mark my words.

Spot on jmw ! This is my favourite away of the season . Will be in the coat and badge pub (just off putney high st from 12) & would like 3 points as an early Christmas present please !!

I can honestly say, that after watching Jimmy play on the left in his last 2 games, I never want to see him
playing on the right. Sure, he can do a job. But I don't want him just doing "a job". I want him to be at his best
and an integral part of the team.

If Kolarov can cut in onto his left then he will have about 40 shots between each pass.

 

[Ethan23]

Guarenteed this will end 1-1 then we'll go and smash the scousers 5-1 next week!

Please prove me wrong city

Very true, looking good for goal though

In what way do you want to be proved wrong. You want us to lose to the scousers ? ;-)

 

[gwt]

Jesus and Edin to give us the 2-0 win.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

I hope we win, but this game isn't big enough for Yaya to put a shift in.

He'll stroll around like he's on holiday and we'll lose 2-1.

Only my opinion of course and I hope I'm wrong!!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Why is everyone flapping regarding who can fill in at RB?....Clichy can fill in as he has done before and I will be more confident to see him on right side.

 

[neel]

Clichy
Kompany
Demichelis
Kolarov

Fernandinho
Yaya
Navas(to make up crosses in absense of zab)
Nasri

Silva

Dzeko (Negredo has struggled away from home)
