Fancy us for a win, players coming back from injury is very important, going 2 or 3 nil to us.
As per the Conte presser, Benta and Kulu were very tired after City after being out for a while with injuries but they should be a bit stronger for this one, also Richy had a bad injury and is some way from full fitness so expect him on the bench.

I don't think so. Levy wont want to pay him while he sits at home in Italy !!
Fulham will be well up for this; and will leapfrog above us with a win.
Not sure we have the legs for it. As soon as Bentencaur and Kulu were puffed against City, we lost the game.
Clearly Lloris and Son need to start this one on the bench; but I am not convinced Forster will be match sharp.
Kulu, Benta, Richy probably only have half a game in the tank; so Conte once again has a selection dilemma.
Emerson was good against City and deserves to start the game.
We'd all love to see a 4-3-3, but under Conte that ain't happening! I think we will see a 3-4-1-2 with Kane dropping a little deeper.
Lloris
Romero - Lenglet - Davies
Emerson - Holjberg - Bissouma - Sess
Kane
Richy - Gil

No one is giving a manager their first home game against City, so he has another game after that as well as Preston I reckon.
I'm not a betting man, but do those odds mean the bookies think Fulham are nailed on for a 2-0 lead at half time?
I don't think that Hoijberg is as bad as some are making out overall, his is the worst culprit of passing sideways and backwards. He's added goals and assists (I believe he's our second highest league scorer lol) but he also kicks it backwards. Then shouts to pass it forwards. He's like the new Sissoko and Winks rolled into one.
That is a fucking awful side
Contradiction no? Not that bad yet Sissoko and Winks into one? He’s awful
I said he's not been that bad. He's derided as a clogger yet has what, four goals?
He has Wink's passing sideways and backwards with Sissoko's pointing. That's the frustrating thing.
Yeah definitely has ability and can pick a pass and drive into final 1/3 too but yeah generally on a par with those two clowns. V poor in the middle third and lacks bravery on the ball. Basically a huge part of our inconsistent and erratic performances

It comes to something when we are all fretting about an insignificant team like Fulham. They have no stars and were in the Championship last year.
We need to give Skippy a game as holding mfer. Richarlison in from the beginning and a new attitude from everyone else. Kane's face when Lloris let in the one at the near post was a picture ! Surely Conte drops Hugo to the bench tonight ?
I predict 2-0 to us . If we have ANY interest in CL football next year then we really have to win this one.

Nope, I don't disagree with you. He has been one of our better players this season.
But.....only when he plays alongside Bentancur. He's actually been woeful at times alongside Skipp and/or Sarr. He was also pretty terrible alongside Winks.
It reminds me of how Berbatov carried Keane towards the end, King carried Dawson. Some players can look really good/adequate with the right player alongside them, but all at sea without them.
I just think Bissouma has a much higher ceiling and, with a run in the team, could be equally as important to us as Bentancur, rather than "only ok when Bentancur plays"
Hope that makes sense
