Pre-match thread - Fenerbahce (Away) - 4th November 2026 - 17.45 GMT

I’m pretty sure Szobo will start here. He’s been out of the team for a while. And then we’ll see what’s the best combination for the weekend once we get past this.

Assume Grav might have been carrying that hence why he didn’t start Sunday now.

That’s not good, although presumably one resulted in winning the European Cup?

None of those losses have mattered in the big picture.

We’ve gone on to win 2 euopean cups and a uefa super cup, made it to another european cup final.

77 05 07 and 2019. if my brain is correct.

57 different varieties.

I’d like to test Danns here.

Fenerbahce have announced Emre Belozoglu as their new permanent head coach. He was previously interim in 2021. So I guess tonight is Kuyt’s final game in charge as interim.

At most, off the bench.

Koumas will start I reckon.

On the game, it’s one of those that we want to rotate, but a win is important too - increasing the chances of the last two league games being insignificant to our progress via the Top 8 - which would be right around the time we might be involved in the Semi’s of the League Cup and busy PL schedule.

Suspect we see a strong line up, therefore.

If we field a disjointed side and then start like we did against villareal then it could be a long night.

I think go strong and try to put it to bed, quieten then crowd IF possible. I don’t expect an easy game and bringing on first team regulars to give them a few minutes against lask.. didn’t work well. I say do the opposite of that 2nd half!

It looks like we won 5:3 in the Uefa Youth League. Will Wright with a hat-trick.

I think your service on how bad the thread was done will guarantee a win :wink:

You’d think it was an FA cup game away to a non league side jusding by this thread. I don’t know much about the current Fernerbahce setup but it is a CL game and I’m sure they will be bang up for it.

Next game is Sunday Afternoon at Palace - nearly 4 days to recover. Win this one and see who is up for it at the weekend.

Interesting team. Barcola CF and Szoboszlai as the 10 maybe?
