I'm boycotting this thread until after Wednesday, not the done thing to have a match thread for a game where we have another match to navigate before this one takes place!

The matriarch has spoken. Back in my cage I go.
Are you being sarcastic? There is a world of difference between playing Fulham and playing city.
Stones has improved massively the last few years.
Richy and Kulu should start.
Son must be given easier opponents to find form
Wouldn’t be adverse to Lenglet, Perisic, Kane & Hojbjerg starting Wednesday but being swapped out for Davies, Sessegnon, Richarlison & Bissouma in this one.
Need to be rotating and managing minutes.
Bissouma having to man Haaland like he did Kane last year.
Controversial as it sounds, have Kane as a bench option to come on ans completely change it up on 60-70 mins. No way it will happen but after last year I’d imagine Pep will spend all week preparing to counteract Kane, so a front 3 of Kulu, Richie & Son would completely throw them.

I am prepared for a barrage of disagrees here but after this weekends results, even a loss wouldn't be the end of the world.
Though I think we could definitely get something from this. Conte seems to have Guardiolas number and they are very vulnerable at the back. They, like always, will be a nightmare going forward and we'll have to be aggressive when defending but there's no reason to think we can't go there and get something, especially with our attack.
1-1
Son with our goal.

Lloris
Romero - Dier - Davies
Emerson - Hojbjerg - Bentancur - Perisic
Richarlison - Kane - Son
I think he'll go with this. Its harsh on Kulusevski, who I think should he starting over Son. Id also like to see Lenglet get a good run of games under his belt too though maybe he feels he needs trusted players in for this one and not many come more trusted than Davies. Romero - Dier - Davies
Emerson - Hojbjerg - Bentancur - Perisic
Richarlison - Kane - Son
1-1
Son with our goal.
Yeah he’s gone from really shite to shite
I think Aston Villa got close enough to beating Haaland-era City to show us that it is possible.
I think Conte will prefer tried and tested Davies over Lenglet in defence and, with all the running involved when playing City, he will probably want a younger pair of legs at LWB so I think Sessegnon will get the nod here.

Throw them?.....it would throw us as well....
