Match Thread | Fulham vs Man City (13/03/21)

As disjointed as it was always likely to be.
Utterly bizarre team selection and setup.

Is it a retro thing to bring on subs at HT? Pep and Pellers seemed to refuse subs until at least 70 minutes

Can't fathom this line up at all.
It looks like a team you put out AFTER winning the league

Whats with all that 'Booing' shit. Everytime we tackle, we get a 'Boo'.

He's alongside Gabby, Bernardo, and Torres. It's not like he's playing with the EDS team here.

We have almost no control of the match which is bizarre for a Pep team. Also Torres is way out of form - understandable given him suffering from Covid recently but tbh I would rather have an in-form EDS player such as Palmer, McAtee or Delap on the pitch at the moment.

That was a painful watch.

Playing 2 or 3 players that are clearly unfit is a risky strategy.

Mendy at WB should be right up his street, but becomes absolutely pointless if he isn’t willing to attack their full back. Then at the other end of the pitch, they are finding it a piece of piss to get in behind him.

Jesus and Torres working hard but the quality is seriously lacking. Nothing coming from the middle of the park.

Unless Cancelo produces something, it’s hard to see where a goal is going to come from.

I’ve not seen one post from anyone flapping

Virtually every post is negative. It's frankly ridiculous.

 

[Matt the Giant]

Obviously we are not at our best, but all credit to Fulham who are playing very very well. I don't think they will be able to keep it up for much longer though.

As Mendy is todays matchday thread scapegoat. I bet he scores a last minute thunderbastard to win it.

 

[Akpowell]

Does pep want to win this game or what
