I had to leave this until the last minute because there was nothing to post until this morning. To be honest there is not much to post now. The cottagers (love that name!) are still on a high from last Monday and felling confident. I feel sure we can ruin that confidence this afternoon. I will leave you with a non-game related fact. The new stand at Craven Cottage will have a swimming pool on the roof. Make of this what you will

COME ON CITY!!!

And the rest…

Same side as Vs Leicester. Keep a winning team in place. I also think it would be best to set up as hard to break down and try and counter when we can.
I can only see a painful afternoon I'm afraid. Would be chuffed with a point.

5 0. And it’s ok to get spanked by them, as it’s still one of the greatest squads the English leagues have ever witnessed. City and spurs are the only two teams who have a right to spank us this year imo.

I predict this won't come true. This is like saying there our little green men out there. 2020 Man City is not "one of the greatest squads the English leagues have ever witnessed".

Respectable 2-1 defeat…We don't lose by more than a one goal margin these days.

3-1 Fulham…Just to be clear Fulham 3 City 1.. all games winnable without the fans.

Another solid performance from defence and good link up play would be enough for me. As mentioned they do have an emense squad. A point would be fantastic.

The only 2 games I've not worn the new home shirt, we've beaten West Brom and Leicester. So it's staying in the drawer today. Pretty sure that'll mean we get a result today.

Having beaten a top six team away from home there should be no doubt that we field the same team again, If Parker decides on this then it would be difficult to argue against it…However careful consideration has to be given to replacing Cav. with Mitro. We need to be physical and Mitro is so useful in both boxes and is always capable of a headed goal. Loftus Cheek is not quite coming up to expectations and it may be wise to play Cairney for the first hour and using Loftus Cheek as a sub…The back four and defensive midfielders have to remain unchanged.

teams that try 'damage limitation' get battered, the teams that give it a go, do better. Especially at the moment, Man City have found some form, but aren't the Man City of old. Parker should pick a 'team' to take Man City on. If you think we are going to lose, then it's a 'free' opportunity to get a result.

Man City are more technically gifted then Leicester. Their players pass and move, they create space for each other through their movement. The best way to combat them is not to be 'passive', disrupt them at every opportunity, close them down, make them rush their passes. You really need to make a match of it. Yes we might lose, but with a bit of luck we might win, being 'passive' is not an option. We have physicality on our side, we need to use it.

Cheers, CM. Hope all is well at your end.

I have always found Fulham fans to be a reasonable lot, in the main.

Cheers CM

Sound a half decent bunch to be fair.
