Predictions

[..FOF..]

If I remembered correctly of the last time we were in top flight:

1) we can hold on during the 1st half and
2) will be badly hammered during the 2nd half

So looking forward to Parker parking the bus in the 2nd half, then releasing 3 new attackers or hungry youngsters to run around like crazy ants trying to get a draw.

1 - 1

Let us remind ourselves that it is a results business, so an ugly draw or an ugly win will suffice under the current circumstances. Although may i ask would a draw be 1 point gained or 2 points lost ?

I take that as a 1 point gained.

We are the underdog, especially this early in the season.

Struggle to see where our goals are coming from

2 0 arsenal

Our goal can come from long range, free kicks.

Do we have any sharpshooters? Bryan riding on his wembley final's mojo?

They have a host of CB's injured, down to playing two debutants and Kieran Tierney there. Could see Mitro managing to bully a goal out of them.

[FulhamStu]

I think 2-0 to the Arse unfortunately.

[Barrett487]

1-1

I'm also wondering which of our lads will be the first to get a red.

Having seen our lineup ehhhhhhh ill change my prediction to 0-5

me too 1-6 and not 1-4.

I honestly fear a hammering with our team selection. And I've just remembered we have the dreaded var in this game.

[Moltobueno]

Their front 3 is Aubameyang, Lacazette and Willian.
Surely enough gunpowder to make even Man City worried.

That said, I'm sure none of them will score and we will see a one in a million wondershot from an unexpected player (Holding?) to score.

Hopefully we can score more  049:gif 049:gif

Hope for a point-------------- But expect us to lose 2-0

[fulhamben]

Changed my mind, we are going to win this. Coyws

[fcfulham55]

It should be one of the following :-
0 0
1 0
0 1
1 1
2 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
2 3
3 3
4 3
3 4
4 4
5 4
4 5
5 5
6 5
5 6
6 6
Of course I could be wrong and we end up winning 7 6

5-2 to Fulham or 5-1 to arsenal.

2-2. Parker to get slated whatever level of performance we put in.

well if he loses our opening fixture to a mid table team in a London derby then I will be calling for his head. 😂

The only positive spin I can put on this is that this game will be a serious litmus test of what we're capable of as a base level for the season both as a squad and tactically.

Whilst we got bored and we're uninspired by this team for almost the entirety of last season they came 4th and against brentford put in a very professional, disciplined performance and managed the game very well.

If we are to stand a chance as things are currently this team have to be able to limit arsenal to ideally 2 goals and register solid shots on target and decent possession stats. 40-45%+.

That would be respectable in truth and indicactive of a team that can get results against other teams in the premiership as, whilst arsenal had a poor season last year league table wise, they are in form and have made some solid signings in the off season.

Plus I'd really like to know what mitro is doing on the bench!?

i think we were a completely different team after lock down. We were much more attack minded. Like you say, this will be a great test

Really surprised he went for Frank on the bench over Lemina
