3 points incoming 🙏

I like that side to be honest.  It gives us a decent chance

Hmmm. Not sure about this Deano, I’d have gone with a back three today and get the width from the wing backs. Not happy about Dennis being on the right. Also not happy about Soumare in the team, they have a busy midfield.

 

We will see though. 
 

 

and Soumare has looked like the player to combat that more than any other in the last three games??

[when_you're_smiling]

Wtf? Only just realised this was a 3pm kick off.

 

Now annoyed I could have lived in blissful ignorance until 8pm and not be put through the wringer.

[HankMarvin]

Feels like a final, a sickening long wait.

It will either ruin the week or add some light relief before the next game.

Would rather see Riccy P in.

Not fit enough. Can’t risk him to start straight away. A fully fit Ricardo is easily on the team sheet. Not one that is recovering…again. 

[StanSP]

Maddison or Praet as CAM?

 

Wonder if they'll be interchangeable during the game? Prefer Maddison central, as he can pull the strings better there. 

 

Hopefully see Ricardo at some point. 

 

Best plan is to keep Palhinha away from the ball as much as possible. Or get him sent off as he has a short fuse! And Willian, he can be a right handful in this Fulham side.

 

Get the ball to Maddison, get the ball to Vardy. They make things happen!

[Tielemans63]

My concern is that back 4 soaking up and resisting Fulham pressure.

 

I've taken some stick for this, but Dennis has never impressed me. Hope he proves me wrong today.

1 hour to go, getting nervous now. Come on City, you got this.

Is this on tv?

Mendy is the player you want to disrupt a busy midfield. I have literally only ever seen Soumare sprint once.

Nope. A blessing for the health

[OntarioFox]

Time for Dennis to make their left back look a total Praet. 

 

Come on boys! 

[blabyboy]

Would've liked to see Evans in place of Faes for more experience, but overall looks a better team on paper for every other position. 

Vardy to score again today

[Finn Claw II]

Evans on the bench?  Fit just in time for a one season extension….

Yep. Mendy’s absence is baffling.

Yeah, it's on Comedy Central.

I really haven’t seen it. I thought he was poor against Everton. My opinion, granted. But I haven’t seen improve out of possession.

433 Madders on the right no?

No.

 

Soumare & Tielemans deeper with Madders in the 10 role. Praet and Barnes wide.

 

Last time I remember Praet starting wide right was Leeds at home when Madders was out. Did okay that day.

[Fox in the North]

This is the time Leicester, 0-2 away win. Let’s go!

Practical jokers. 

[FoxOnWheels]

We are the better side on paper, shame it’s on grass

[Pliskin]

Faes is my biggest worry. He’s been absolute shit since the World Cup. 
 

Shame Willian is playing, we should have signed him in the summer. He’s been brilliant for Fulham. 

[alanf0x]

On the plus side if rodgers had still been in charge both Ward and dangerous Dan would have been in and he would have still been spouting we aren’t in a relegation battle

[Finnegan]

I don't hate that. I'm disappointed Smith and Shakey don't feel they can get more out of Tete but if they aren't going to play him then Praet is our "best" RW. 

 

He might not be the best player but he will hold the shape, give us more width and give Madders the freedom to play centrally. 

 

Plus he links up well with Castagne.
