Yes, I just checked that because it was my recollection as well. He was taken off after just twenty six minutes that afternoon and I think it was put down to an injury, but such was the chasing he was being given by Murphy, there would have been no surprise if it had been tactical.
That said, Chambers was a clear winner of Fulham’s Player of the Season award that year after he spent most of the time playing in central midfield.
Ten years ago, the notion that Chambers would be strongly linked with a Championship club during the summer of 2024 would have seemed ridiculous as he was winning full England caps and was signing for Arsenal as a nineteen year old. So, clearly, something has gone a bit wrong with his career, but, even allowing for this,it seems an ambitious signing by City of a type I was not expecting - I wonder if Aaron Ramsey has been involved in some way if the reports this morning are true
