Match Thread Fulham v Leicester

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Amartey, Daley-Campbell, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Leshabela, Albrighton, Ünder.

 

[Miles Away]

Not surprised to see Hamza. A lot surprised Perez preferred over Under.

 

[camberwell fox]

Hhhhhmmmmmm.

 

[Skitzo]

Daley-Campbell? someone on FT who watches the U23s thinks he's absolute crap good to see Leshabela involved though, also surprise Under doesn't start with Albrighton on the bench

 

[Miles Away]

3 academy lads on the bench and 2 on the pitch.

Daley-Campbell was signed from Arsenal when he was 20 not really from our academy

Told you we are going to get done


That bench is absolute poverty

Well its a good job the bench is the bench and not the starting team.

 

[Brown Nose]

Mendy has been poor in his recent appearances.

However, it is a bit odd to be prepared to let someone leave two days ago and then chuck them into the starting line up. It doesn't feel very organised.

The other changes make sense. I didn't see the case for Under in this match. and Albrighton has played himself out of the team over the last week or so.

It's great to see a line up with Ricardo and Soyuncu starting for us. I think Perez is better in a deeper role and I hope Iheanacho is fired up to show us that he should have been starting the last couple of games.

Nah. We will do these.

 

[TommyK]

Interesting team

 

[Micky]

They are dog shit. That however does not mean they won't beat us.

 

[Graz]

Who is Daley-Campbell? Assume he's an attacker of some kind?

Hamza over Mendy is maybe to beef us up a bit... We do lose a lot of physical presence in the side when we have Ndidi out for Mendy.

Kinda glad to see Albrighton left out for this one - as much as he's a very good player for us, we need more attack minded players there atm.

Perez playing wide right means he will tuck in more too and open up more space for Ricardo.

Glad to see Ricardo and Soyuncu back! Hope they're both ready for 90 mins.

I'd take a 1-0 win and no new injuries if you offered it to me now.. M

Daley-Campbell is a right back we signed when he was released by Arsenal at the age of 20

 

[Brown Nose]

Daley-Campbell is a right back.

Leshabela is an attacking midfielder. He may have noted that his manager told a press conference the other day that there was no attacking midfielder in the U23s that was able to step up.

 

[sparky79]

we need to compete physically here. Lookman, Mitro, Cavaleiro, Reid, Loftus Cheek, Anguissa all the type of players who could outfight us if we don't turn up to battle

 

[Payne74]

Hoping it's the Hamza and Nacho man of the 4-0 win over Braga that shows up

 

[mabrah]

Wow. That's some serious shuffling. I'd love to know what's inspired it. Hamza I can kinda understand to add some beef but it has the smell of a dice roll to me (to mix me metaphors)

I'd say he was more box-to-box but we're splitting hairs
