You do realise we’ve already seen that isolated higher pressing 8 from Ndidi in pre-season - and it did not work.

What did work in pre season?

Did Cooper report any injuries with Winks? Did not see him in training vids or pics

No, it’s 3pm.

[phoneticerror]

I’ve got a good feeling. Very much a bad place to be as we’ll likely get thumped. I prefer to expect a hiding and claw it back like Monday 🤦‍♂️

[Pliskin]

Will be similar to spurs. Fulham are about aggressive pressure and quick interchangeable passing sequences. I think they’re a team we can frustrate though. Similar set up to Spurs second half, press their defence because they will look to play from the back, and look to exploit the space they leave behind the fullbacks. They key to beating these is to frustrate them, win lots of free kicks in their defensive quarter of the pitch, set traps and look to spring away on the counter. 
 

0-2 shit house win today.

I worry that they're Spurs without the Spursyness. They looked good against United until they got to the final third and then a lot of their attacks seemed to break down due to poor decision making. Like you say we need to frustrate them

[Levi Port]

Away end will be going off all game, good feeling carrying over for today, 2-1 Leicester, Bobby and Vardy.

Skipp

I’m not sure I’d want to start Skipp ahead of those. 70 min sub.

Bench. Cover for Winks. 

[adejo92]

I'd be tempted to bring skipp in for Ndidi.

 

Ndidi does some good stuff, like the Goal line clearance, but he's also very clumsy.

 

Hard and unfair to really make any changes after that second half against Tottenham though.

That's a decent line up, Though I feel he may go with Wilf instead of Reid while we find our out how they're playing.

 

Cooper tends to be a more cautious Manager until he works out their system.

 

Another point would do fine. I just hope we give it a go at some point in the game like last week.
