Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[wrd]

I thought Llorente looked good Vs Tranmere but is anybody really expecting him to reproduce it in the Prem or just be a handful at set pieces etc. Hope so but just got that feeling he'll struggle and it will be the others who score

The important thing is our players can play off him and Dele seems to link up well with him.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

We usually turn up away from home. Pity we have so many home games left

 

[dudu]

Yes you are right, Poch only wants elite players who cost elite transfer fees and wages, Levy wants to pay peanuts in both fees and wages, result is we buy nobody.

Pure agenda driven hyperbole.

Pure agenda driven hyperbole.

If by agenda you mean that I’d like us to spend some money on elite players commensurate with having the most expensive tickets in world football then yes I’m guilty.

If by hyperbole you mean I’ve missed us sign said players then feel free to post the details.

You do know we aren’t in the stadium and at a guess 50% is being refunded every week, a good % more are getting something back through buying cheaper tickets, and the refunds for the corporate is costing us a bloody fortune on top of having to pay rent for Wembley and the extra work being carried out. Also note most games are restricted to 50k so we are losing out on 12k every week and costing a fortune on merchandise and other things food/drink/programs.

So yes hyperbole

For someone that tries to come over as intellectual you definitely didn’t use a brain cell with that post.

He was a handful against manure. He set up a wonderful chance which Kane scuffed

 

[JimmyG2]

If Llorente starts
he will both score and assist
Fernando returns.

And that is a Haiku

 

[coys200]

It’s likely Arsenal and Chelsea will progress further in Europe than we do which could be a major factor. And they have 2 extra games anyway. If Arsenal don’t get a couple in this window they will be majorly stretched. Lost 3 now to season ending injuries.

Finally!

Bravo!

I hope we buy Haiku but Levy is way too tight.

A few points in response:

1) While many won’t agree with me I hold Levy responsible for the delay, he is by far the highest paid chairman in the league and he had one primary role which he has failed spectacularly. In contrast the fans did our part paying up to give the club the highest gate receipts in world football
2) The issues with the stadium delay were only revealed after the last window closed so either that wasn’t an excuse or Levy lied because he knew for some time the stadium would be delayed
3) All the above really applies to the last window, by all accounts the stadium will open in the next 6-8 weeks, surely we the fans deserve to watch a team there that is befitting the stadium

You continue to be a proponent of our owners spending nothing on our playing squad even after they announced record financial results and it has been shown yet again just how much operating cashflow they have utilised already on capital projects. At this point you seem more a fan of ENIC and Daniel Levy than you do of the team because I don’t see any ambition at all in any of your posts. Sorry if I can’t join you in going along with our owners distinct lack of ambition.

No,no it's an Academy job
make your own.

If we drop points today I’m going to shit my pants.

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah it will all get very tense. And even aside from the disappointment of dropped points, this Fulham team is powder puff defensively.

Will be really worrying if we can't dispatch them with no Son or kane returning anytime soon.

Without being arrogant, there is no way that we should be losing today. Our front 4 including Llorente should be more than enough to despatch Fulham.

Nothing to do with Kane and Son being out, nothing to do with not reinforcing in the summer, man for man today our team pisses all over Fulham.

If we don’t win, we were not mentally right. We’ve had a week off for once. No excuses

Prophylactic padding will help.

Midfield is our biggest problem. It's quite powder puff without Wanyama, Dier, Dembele and the duracell battery that is Sissoko.

It is still more than capable of dealing with Fulham. No excuses today

Didn’t we scrape through 2-1 against them at Wembley earlier in the season and that was with Kane, and maybe Son?

Don’t get me wrong, we should be winning this but then we should’ve beat Wolves and Watford

It was 3-1, with Kane but without Son. Lucas, Trippier and Kane scored.

Fulham played alright in August and September but have been pretty shit since and even after changing managers their defence isn't looking much better.
