Some very welcome news ahead of the game tomorrow

 

Much stronger bench compared to what we had on Thursday.

 

1-0! Gabriel from a corner! Good delivery from Trossard. Another assist from him.

 

Good response after Robinson’s OG was ruled out for a marginal offside.

 

Nice footwork from Saliba and a really decent strike from range that just went over. Would have been a phenomenal goal.

 

2-0! Martinelli!

Great transition and a wonderful cross from Trossard again for Martinelli’s header.

 

Xhaka preventing us from scoring one of the team goals of the season when he was clean through on goal and decided to take a touch. Just take it first time FFS

 

Jesus, Ramsdale. That was so poor. Thankfully, Pereira missed but you can’t just give opposition players the ball in your own box.

 

Ah almost 3-0. Good save from Leno but Martinelli didn’t catch it as cleanly as he’d have liked. Need to end this game as a contest.

 

FFS Ramsdale, just clear your lines.
Stop causing unnecessary issues.

 

3-0. Odegaard. Trossard assist again.

 

HT. 0-3.

Complete domination and control. Aside from a few sloppy moments from Ramsdale, there’s only looked like one winner and we’ve steam rolled them.

If I’m going to be super critical, I think we should have scored 5 goals that half. Xhaka and Trossard both had chances they should have put away. But a 3-0 lead still emphasises our dominance and capability.

 

We could legitimately have 8-9 goals at this point.

Trossard has been great and Martinelli relentless.

Saliba quietly imperious again.

 

Fulham have started this half on fire and full of energy. Need to stem the tide and regain some rhythm. The last thing we want is to give them a foothold into the match.

 

Trossard really playing well.

 

Gabriel Jesus coming on for the final 15 minutes. Martinelli (who has been relentless) coming off. So happy for him.

Vieira on for Trossard as well.

 

Tomiyasu on for Ben White to see the game out. 10 mins to go plus stoppage time.

 

Jesus almost got the on scoresheet but didn’t get the right contact on it. Leno makes the save. Unlucky, would have been the perfect return.

 

Odegaard with a difficult chance he blazed over as Nelson drops the shoulder of Tosin and fizzes in an elevated cross.
