***Champions v Fulham Official Match Thread***

Postby nottsblue » Sat Oct 05, 2024 5:49 am

Last game before the International break. Probably not the worst thing for us as it's another week or so rest for KDB and Ake. Think Bobb is still a way off yet

A decent if rather easy runout on Tuesday in the CL so we should be relatively fresh for this afternoon

Got a very good record against Fulham and Pep is 13-0 against Marco Silva. Imagine it will be a strong starting XI and I expect a win. The dippers and especially Arsenal have winnable games so we don't want any slip ups today

3-1 Haaland Foden Doku

Fulham win. Haaland starting to pout and lose his new found enthusism he had for a couple of games at the start of the season. Pep will continue to play Doku on right side and fuck up our best prospect Savinho. Grealish will follow orders, go backwards, slow play and fall over , Lewis and Gvardiol will continue to plug gaps and mistakes by Walker, Nunes et al and it will be another boring shit show until Fulham hit us on the break and manage to hang on for dear life .

Manchester City have won their last 16 meetings with Fulham, which represents the longest ever run of consecutive wins by one English team over another.

Ake nearing a return post the break. Kevin too. Neither going on international duty.

Pep said in August Bobb was 3-4 months off. We’re looking at very very earliest November (which I can’t see). He’ll probably be back after Christmas.

This fact added to the fact that I can remember them coming from behind to beat us under Woy makes me feel like a right old git

My first away match was at Fulham in Div 2 when they had standing for their away end. Morrison was sent off for licking Collymore

August 1999. Collymore nearly wet himself. That team had a good line in strange decisions - remember Kevin Horlock and 'agressive walking'!

I remember asking my dad what he got sent off for and none of us found out until we checked Teletext after the game :lol:

I thought he’d start Walker. Pleased Rico does. I would have preferred Bernardo in the. Entre and Savinho on the right. I assume he still feels Gundogan needs minutes to get up to scratch.
It’s a strong team though with pace and width on the bench if needed.

He wasn’t exactly in a hard midfield battle on Tuesday though JC

Good enough team that. Would definitely love to know what Akanji has on Pep though?
