Podcast: Keep Manchester Divided

Fulham won on the road, against a bottom half side, whilst keeping a clean sheet. That’s as much as any of us could have asked for at the weekend, even if it did come against an awful Leicester City. We take a last look back at that game, digging into some of the individual performances and the balance of the midfield, before throwing forward to our next fixture.

And what a fixture it is – even if it’s at the slightly strange kickoff time of 7pm on a Sunday night – against Manchester United at Craven Cottage. United come into this one after a divisive week, with hardline quotes from the manager, reports of televisions being smashed at Old Trafford, and little resolution in the transfer market for the club’s woes, so it presents itself as an opportunity for Fulham, even if we have struggled against opposition lower than us in the table.

We discuss the selection dilemmas and analyse the emotional turmoil in our opponents, before finishing with a couple of emails regarding the No 10 position and the battle between Andreas Pereira and Emile Smith Rowe, as well as how Fulham’s wide players dovetail with their respective full backs in this Marco Silva system.
