Fulham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[DEFchenkOE]

Modric was poor, Krancjar was poor, Pav was poor.

Palacios, Dawson, Bassong and Gomes were all very good.

The rest did ok.

I'm still convinced that Bale is no left winger and we still hit Crouch way too often with straight balls.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

any ideas when the replay will be?

24th

 

[Supersonic]

That match was fucking boring.

Still, we are very likely to be in the semi final now

i think bale does better from LB than LM cos modric is in front of him and drifts, taking the oppo's RB with him. today the welsh monkey had 2 men on him the whole time. 1 on 1 from LB he'd have violently buttraped duff.

I'll forgive the amount of balls to Crouch due to the fact we weren't full strength, but I agree 110% about Bale.

 

[Goldman]

A great result considering Fulham's strength at home. Im very optimistic about a return to Wembley for the third year in a row

Bale should definitely not be a left winger, was clearly missing the extra yard of space to start his killer runs in the first half.

BAE kept the ball for too long most times he entered their half and scuppered any quick play.

PAV wasn't with it, dunno what happened their. maybe the lack of interplay between Bale and him self was the key.

Other than that we did what we needed to do with the injuries and available players... But I wish HR would just trust in the bench a little more!!!

 

[jamesc0le]

we played well and controlled alot of the play. clearly we lacked something and people are saying luka and pav looked poor, i think it has to do with the different look of the team.

if using modric in the middle was a priority , than perhaps, with hindsight, this set up would have been better
--------crouch---pav---------

Wilson was class today. Have to agree with people that Pav, Modric were really poor today. Thought Gomes, Bale had good games. The rest were alright. To be honest wasnt the best of games but as I said before the game I would have taken a replay!

 

[chrissivad]

BBC have it now down as the 16th for the replay

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/fixtures/default.stm

14th- ManU Vs Fulham
16th- Tottenham Vs Fulham
18th- Fulham Vs Juve
21st- Fulham Vs ManCity

Would take that :lol:

 

[mkkid]

24th

Are you sure,should be the 16th,not our problem Fulham are in the Uefa.
Im sure Everton had the same problem against us earlier in the season.

Before the game they were saying 24th should it go to a replay, now as chrissivad has already pointed it out, they are saying the 16th.

Given their run of games, I would take that all day long!

 

[mkkid]

That will do.Got to fancy us for semis now

 

[we_all_loved_freund]

Bale would have done well on the left wing but BAE wasn't overlapping Bale and thus he was getting doubled up on. I was very unimpressed with BAE's performance today...

Ekotto at right wing? Eek

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Maybe BAE was told to keep it solid and not get caught too high up the field.

Anyway considering our injuries i'm glad we're still in the that, need to get some of our players back desperately though as i'm not too confident about that starting 11 taking us anywhere.

Hats off to those at the game in the temporary stand, sounded like an home game.
I wonder how many Fulham fans make it all the way across London?

:clap::clap::clap:All those faithful were a real credit to the CLUB ! Well done to all ! CoYS !!

 

[CosmicHotspur]

That was one tight game, especially defensively, but I do think we had the edge. A hard-working effort from both sides.

Palacios was MOTM and did indeed play a solid game but Bale was equal to him in my eyes, particularly as he was playing out of position.

 

[Wellspurs]

In the ITV report of the game it says REPLAY 24th and they should know!!
