Fulham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[hughy]

Has anyone seen much of that Dejagah guy they signed from Wolfsburg? Any good?

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Glad to see they've benched Rodallega

Our starting team today: Lloris, Naughton, Dawson, Caulker, Vertonghen, Sandro, Dembele, Lennon, Bale, Dempsey & Defoe#COYS


Why drop Walker when he's just come into form?!?!

Unless Injury


Aside from that I'm happy!!

Me happy too

I am even happy with walker not playing.... could be resting for the EUFA game next week?

Would prefer to keep Walker playing and play Naughton in the Europa; just my feelings though I'm not the manager

Yep - and Everton away too.

It actually makes more sense to me to rotate and rest Walker now he is back in form, because it seems like genuine rotation rather than "you're playing shit, you're benched" which would be a massive confidence knocker.

 

[Mr Pink]

No Duff for them either...?!

 

[rupert miller]

Last season Redknapp over played some players and we had a dip in form. AVB is rotating and still getting stick for bad man management. Managers can't win.

Agree. You cant play Walker into the ground. People dont really want to see rotation, its an excuse to why we dont win every game

 

[hughy]

I don't want to speak too soon, but there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't completely overrun them in midfield. Their trump card is their strikeforce, and with Rodellega not starting and Ruiz injured, I'm hoping that they'll struggle with just Berba. Lack of creativity, for sure.

I'm a lot more confident now I've seen the teams.

Even less willing to see it because it will, guaranteed lead us dropping a few points. I firmly believe though that we'll more than make them up after the Jan window as our team is still relatively fresh for the crucial last 2 months. Hard to define though but I agree with it.

It requires a bit of intestinal fortitude though.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Need a big game from Dembele here; hughy is right he can run riot through that midfield

 

[Mr Pink]

This game would of been a good one for live coverage, with all the connections and ex players/managers on show.

I don't know, it is a must win game in the EUFA next week and AVB is taking it seriously.

 

[Misfit]

By the by, I wouldn't be surprised to Dempsey have another West Ham type performance. Strikes me as a niggly sort (meant in the bst way). He'll be busting a gut to do well.

2-0 win

COYS

 

[JAYSTAR]

West Ham are doing us a major favour, 1-1 with Chelsea, with 6 mins and stoppage time left.We will be looking very good if we get 3 points against Fulham. COYS

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

2-0 win

COYS

Can see Berba scoring; but us out scoring them.


All I want to see is us play for the 90; we've been giving teams too much respect by sitting back on leads. Let's see us go for jugular and rip them apart COYS

 

[tototoner]

good team, i presume walker injured

COYS, 3-1 win

 

[Mr Pink]

west ham 2 chelsea 1 lol

 

[JAYSTAR]

2-1 to west ham!!!!

I'm still puzzled that we're not on next week against Everton - surely Sky would have looked at 5th versus 6th and thought "ooh, that'll be a good 'un!'. Instead they're showing West Ham v Liverpool.
