***Fulham v City Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

After Saturday I honestly don't know what to expect.

City have won their past 18 meetings in all competitions since 2012, which is the longest winning run by a team against any opponent in the entire history of English football, scoring 54 goals and conceding only seven. So on this basis I'd imagine the law of averages says Fulham are due a result

Still no Rodri or Kovacic. Otherwise a full squad to choose from. Hope Viking finds his shooting boots soon

Not confident today

1-1 Savinho

[Mase]

Don't play Savio

[Sparklehorse]

Sav in the side is suicide.

[nottsblue]

My record for predicting the goalscorers is diabolical and often they don't even play!

Hence a bit of reverse psychology....
Pick him to score and he won't play

[stupot]

Donna's 1 yellow off a ban. Another 6 league games to get through before it chsnges to 10 cards for a 2 game ban.

[Nigels Tackle]

beaten them 18 times in a row…

[PeterParker]

Lost our last two away trips.
Don't know what City will turn out today.

OK were never going to go out and blitz everyone with brilliant football for the whole game, that just is not this team, however I just want to see more consistency throughout the game, not the A team for the first half and the under 9s for the second. We need more consistency in our play, over 90 + mins, hopefully we have worked on that since leeds.

[stevefromdonny]

i have a good feeling about this game, after leeds i think we will be good all game and play both halfs

[john@staustell]

I have a bad feeling......

[Nigels Tackle]

I have a bad feeling......

most of us do

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[nottsblue]

Are we one up yet?

Doubt lightning will strike twice PP

[CTID Hants]

Your City side to take on Fulham!

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Nico, Bernardo (C), Reijnders, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Stones, Ake, Marmoush, Cherki, Ait-Nouri, Savinho, Khusanov, Lewis

Etihad Airways

[Mase]

What the fuck?! Nunes rewarded for his fuck up? No Cherki but Reijnders plays.

Hes Fuckin lost the plot

[s1ty m]

I might write to Pep and enclose footage of Nunes from Leeds horror show. Disgusting to pick him, what does it say to everyone else?

Picking on merit? Wow.

[city72]

Khusanov and cherki should have started imo rejoinders had a good 45 minutes against wolves then been bang average

[Indianablue]

Could go either way given our propensity to fuck things up . We 'should' be able to beat them, but i'm not sure our players have the strength of character

[john@staustell]

When we were invincible I think there's a case for one set team. But when we aren't so invincible I'd like to think there were subtle differences in our home and away tactics and team selection.
