[Football] MAN UNITED V FULHAM

[Zeberdi]

Who do we want - after our awful last Fulham game, I think I prefer Man U 🫤

 

[Zeberdi]

Early pressure from Fulham

 

[Swansman]

I think United is a better fit for Brighton, but on the other hand they are quite simply a better football team.

All things considered I'd give Brighton a 50% chance against Fulham and a 30% chance against United.

Utd. Revenge for 83

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I'll take Fulham. We're the better side.

Man U are a bit better than us.

I'll take Fulham. We're the better side.

Man U are a bit better than us.

...who were thrashed 7 - 0 by a poor Liverpool side.
I want Man U.

 

[Kosh]

I'll take Fulham. We're the better side.

Man U are a bit better than us.

I’m not sure utd are tbh, they think they are, but I don’t share that view.

I’d prefer utd, more like us to win that one… and the possibility of revenge is simply put: irresistible.

 

[AmexRuislip]

On our day
(as long as we take our chances),
we canbeat anyone.

I think that’s why on one level I would prefer them - we can beat them with ‘de zerbi‘ ball - Fulham really get under our skin, frustrate play, lots of dark arts., interruption of our fluidity- they are also punching above their weight this season - it might make it difficult for us to play on our own terms.

We have a good recent record against Man U and although I agree they are a better team but we definitely could be on the day if we play our best football.

Utd are away at Sevilla on the Thursday. Second leg of their Europa League match. Sure, they’ve got a big squad but this has to suit us because some players will play both and be leggy. Will also mean we will be playing on the Sunday. So, Utd for me!

 

[Gabbiano]

The rebirth of Tim Ream as an actual footballer is quite something, compared to his crap he was in Fulham’s previous seasons at this level

Yeah kind of how I'm thinking as well even though I ultimately believe the difference in quality would make United a more dangerous opponent.

But I think beating United in the semi would increase the chances of winning against City in the final. Beating United would give a feeling of "we can beat anyone in this cup" making the boys respect City a little less, whereas a win against Fulham is more of a "nice... but now City....."

 

[spence]

Utd win please. They have a congested fixture list like us. They travel to Spain before playing the semi final

 

[oldboyroy]

That's Maguire out of semi if they get through

 

[AmexRuislip]

Slabhead out for SF, if we play them

 

[SweatyMexican]

What other CBs have they got? Will Shaw have to play in the middle now?…if they get through.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Casemiro is the difference, Utd have an average record without him.

 

[The Fits]

We don't want Fulham.

 

[Swansman]

Casemiro is the difference, Utd have an average record without him.

Sort of true. Erik Ten Hag seems to be doing a good job but the main difference for them really was to get this serial winner into the side.

I want the dog and duck...but failing that, it might as well be manure
