Alright lads, we take it and go on!

Away to Fulham...another difficut match.

I hope players don't struggle with fitness, but I think some will for sure. So I can't say who is tired and who isn't, AVB has to look at it, and hopefully Parker and BAE are soon available as two more options.

But for that match I would go for:

----------------------Lloris--------------------
Walker---Dawson--------Caulker----Verty--
------------------------Sandro-----------------
--------------Dembele-------------------------
Lennon-----------Dempsey------------Bale---
---------------------Defoe-----------------------

Maybe Naughton in for Caulker, if he isn't available

Subs: Friedel - Naughton, Gallas, Huddlestone, Carroll, Townsend, Sigurdsson (Livermore)

And we lack of alternatives in the attacking zone. Someone who you can bring on and is a danger.

Do we have much of a choice at the moment?

Yeah the team sorta picks itself really. If Sig was showing anything like a bit of form you might give Demps a rest but he's like a ghost out there. Full team v Stoke and try to work in Naughton, Carroll and Sig v Panthainkaniksosos.

Start Carroll, he'll make himself available and he has something to prove.

I am worried by the lack of rotation I fear we may go on that slump again

Our next four games are very tough, if we can come through them with decent haul then we'll be in good shape for the new year.

You think so? Away to Fulham and Everton and then Home for Swansea and Stoke?

Fulham could very well end a draw as they do play well there, but they won't have their two most-creative build up players in Kacaniklic and Ruiz apparently. That's a big blow for them. They haven't scored a goal in their past two matches.

Everton is obviously a tough match. Ain't no sugar-coating that. However, there is a chance Leighton Baines will be out. I'm not sure on the status of Mirallas, but if he's out, I think Dawson will match up well against Fellaini similar to how he did against Carroll.

Swansea has been playing well lately, but at home that's a winnable match.

And Stoke won't be away so that makes the match much easier to see a good result.
