Iwobi seems to have peaked somehow, he's been ace the last while. Fulham will be a test.

Their fullbacks are good 1 v 1, so both Mo and Diaz will have to be on it. They have a decent amount of pace on the break, but if we play with intensity and press them well, they wont get out of their half [like they didnt against Arsenal in the 2nd half]. 

Think the key is to score first, and not give them any confidence as the match goes on. 

Diaz could do with a goal, he hasn't scored in the last 7/8 league matches, we  need him to start chipping in a bit more consistently.

Hopefully Jota makes an appearance.

They weren’t that great against Arsenal, but yeah, will be a hard afternoon if we don’t have our collective heads on.

Maybe Chiesa gets over his fear of everything.

[Gethin]

b******s, just realised I'll miss the second half of this. Poor planning. 

[D.Boon]

Szobo can have a watch of this from the bench. Let Mac Alister or Jones have the spot.

[Gethin]

Mac Allister's suspended for this 'cos of the Everton postponement.

Two games rest seems timely for the lad, assuming we get through this game OK. He's had alot of football.

[Walrus]

Anyone know if we take Mac Allister off, can we bring him back on again?

yeah - MOTD analysis vs Arsenal was interesting - they loaded their left & Robinson basically snuffed Saka, Iwobi dropped back as a RB so they had 5 across the back when they needed but all the play was heavily on the a*** right, Fulham left

Robinson isn't a bad player so he'll be told to do a job on Mo. Wouldn't have Nunez near the starting lineup for this - they're 10th on 23 points, but City are 4th on 27 so it's tight there. They're no mugs this season

He'll have had a full two weeks off, assuming he plays against Southampton in the LC.

Robinson had a good game but he fell asleep twice, for Arsenals equalizer and for Sakas disallowed goal, he got lucky because Martinelli f***ed it up marginally.

 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

yeah but he's got a lot of running in him too though, remember last season - or the one before - he was a right pain in the a***

He has tbf

We will need to be very much on it. Id expect the same midfield 3 as last night, and hopefully Jota or Gakpo comes in up front

[Ombudsam]

I imagine that we will not be that great in the first half and then improve in the second half.

[Case]

We've dropped off a little in intensity since City, possibly due to enforced lack of rotation, so this game is a bit of a worry.
